An inlet manifold system particularly adapted for a multi-cylinder in-line engine has a first and a second bank of cylinders (18, 20), each bank (18, 20) having a plurality of combustion chambers (32). The manifold includes first and second elongated secondary manifolds (14, 16) disposed substantially parallel to and above the first and second banks of cylinders (18, 20), first and second sets of a plurality of substantially parallel, spaced apart, demand runners (22) joined to the first and second secondary manifolds (14, 16) along their lengths, each demand runner (22) extending from the secondary manifold (14, 16) to a cylinder in one of the first and second banks of cylinders (18, 20) and in fluid connection therewith, first and second sets of a plurality of substantially parallel, spaced apart, supply runners (12) joined to the first and second secondary manifolds (14, 16) along their lengths and in fluid connection therewith, each pair of adjacent spaced apart demand runners (22) having a supply runner (12) therebetween. |
