Motivation
A properly designed Intake Manifold is vital for the optimal performance of
an IC Engine.
The main task of an Intake Manifold is to distribute air between cylinders
properly.
An uneven air distribution leads to:

Optimization Strategies
Optimization Suggestions for Intake Manifold for Boosted Engine Application:
1. Reduce sharp connections inside the Intake Manifolds.
2. Smoother Bell-Mouth design.
3. The Plenum Volume and Geometry play a major role in the broadband engine performance.
4. Optimize the Location of the throttle body and the entry angle from throttle to the plenum.
5. For a Boosted Engine it was also observed that the RAM effect phenomena has a positive
effect all throughout the rpm range.
6. It is suggested to do parametric study of:
Runner diameter & length,
Plenum volume & its geometry, etc.
as shown in the following figures for the Design and Development of a Boosted Engine Manifold.
