ABSTRACT:
An intake air crossover arrangement for an internal combustion engine having two cylinder banks in a V-shaped arrangement in which air compressed by at least one, and preferably two, turbochargers, is delivered via air ducts to respective intake manifolds for each cylinder bank wherein the air ducts twist at least in the crossover region and have a cross-sectional shape such that they sit in flat contact with one another, preferably by use of an integrally formed crossover pipe containing portions of both ducts. The crossover pipe may further include integral connections for exhaust gas recirculation respectively for each duct.
