Abstract

See full text

An elongated air intake manifold, for coupling a compressor outlet to the air intake of an internal combustion engine, includes bottom, top and side walls progressing from a circular upstream end through a sweeping curved central section to a 90° bend section terminating in a peripheral rim surrounding an air outlet port. The peripheral rim has opposed proximal and distal sides and a lower surface facing the engine air intake opening. A pair of proximal and distal mounting screw receptacles are formed integrally with and located on the interior and exterior of the manifold, respectively, for receiving mounting screws to secure the manifold to the engine. Preferably, the proximal mounting screw receptacles are arranged so that the heads of the mounting screws extend a minimum distance into the manifold interior. Optionally, one or more turning vanes may be positioned in the bend section interior of the manifold.
