Abstract: A method for reducing turbolag in a turbocharged internal combustion engine includes demanding torque for shifting the internal combustion engine from a stationary engine mode to a transient engine mode, closing an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve during the transient engine mode, repositioning guide vanes of a Variable Geometry Turbine (VGT) turbo unit from a first position when in the stationary engine mode to a second position when in the transient engine mode, increasing a duration of overlapping of at least one inlet valve and at least one outlet valve provided in a cylinder head of the internal combustion engine from as first duration when in the stationary mode to a second duration when in the transient mode for increasing the amount of air flowing from an inlet manifold to an exhaust manifold and thereby increasing acceleration of a turbine of the VGT turbo unit.

Abstract: An engine system includes an engine having an intake manifold and a turbocharger that supplies compressed air to the intake manifold. An engine control module calculates a desired pre-throttle pressure of air before the throttle and calculates a desired manifold air flow into the engine. The engine control module determines a desired pre throttle pressure area based on the desired air per cylinder, desired manifold pressure and RPM and generates control signals to control the engine with the turbocharger.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine arrangement (10) for a vehicle with a turbo charger (16) and configured for influencing the boost pressure of the turbo charger at low engine speeds. The arrangement includes a tank (32) for storing a pressure medium, a line (31) for supplying pressure medium to the turbo charger and a valve (30) for controlling the supply of pressure medium. The line (31) connects to a mouthpiece (33) directed toward the impeller of the turbo charger (16). A pipe line (23) is connected to the exhaust-gas line (16) and the inlet line (20) enabling the recirculation of exhaust gas from the exhaust-gas line to the inlet line.

Abstract: A turbo-charged internal combustion engine with a twin-entry exhaust turbine and with a valve arrangement (20) disposed in the turbine housing (11). By means of the valve arrangement (20) the exhaust channels (9, 10) in the turbine housing can be short-circuited. The valve arrangement also functions as a waste-gate valve by virtue of the fact that its valve element (26), in one position, permits exhaust to by-pass the turbine housing through a shunt (18).

Abstract: A five-cylinder turbocharged internal combustion engine has an exhaust manifold (6-10) connected to a turbine housing (13). Four exhaust manifold conduits (7, 8, 9, 10) lead in pairs to the inlets (11, 12) of a twin-entry turbine (14). The fifth exhaust manifold conduit (6) is drawn past the turbine housing and opens into an exhaust pipe (18) on the downstream side of the turbine housing.

Abstract: An exhaust manifold and a turbine housing for a turbo-charged five-cylinder engine are cast as a single piece. This arrangement renders unnecessary a flanged connection between a separate exhaust manifold and turbine housing. The one-piece design provides optimum gas paths to obtain a good response.

Abstract: A collector is disclosed for the primary pipes of an exhaust manifold in an internal combustion engine. The collector includes a common cavity and a plurality of primary pipes having a first cross-sectional area at their outlet ends and second cross-sectional area at an upstream location, the first cross-sectional area being less than the second cross-sectional area, with the primary pipes being in direct contact with the common cavity of the collector and further arranged to include a single central pipe with the remainder of the pipes spaced around the central pipe, with the outlet of the central pipe being formed as a conically tapering portion and the outer wall of the central pipe forming part of the inner wall of the remainder of the pipe.

Abstract: An exhaust collector for collecting exhaust gases from a multiple cylinder combustion engine to a common flow includes primary tubes. To reduce mass and heat losses in the exhaust system, the peripheral walls of the collector are at least to a substantial part formed by the primary tubes.
