ABSTRACT:
A support structure for an intake system of an internal combustion engine. The support structure includes first and second mount portions provided on an engine-mounting flange portion of an intake manifold, the intake manifold being fitted to the engine by the engine-mounting flange portion, and a third mount portion is disposed on a throttle body-mounting flange portion of a surge tank, the throttle body being mounted on the surge tank through the throttle body-mounting flange portion. The support structure also includes an intake manifold stiffener having a substantially triangular shape which includes first, second, and third mounting sections at the corners thereof. These mounting sections are engaged with the first, second, and third mount portions, respectively. Accordingly, the surge tank is supported by the triangular configuration of the intake manifold stiffener. In addition, the first and second mounting sections have a greater length in the direction of each mounting axis thereof to define additional space for accommodating other engine components.
