Exhaust gas recirculation system for a V-type engine

摘要

A V-type engine having a pair of cylinder banks set at an angle to each other is provided with a plurality of separate intake passages, each for one cylinder. The intake passages have respective proximate portions at which the intake passages to the cylinders in one cylinder bank and those to the cylinders in the other cylinder bank are in proximity or aligned with each other as viewed in the direction of the crankshaft. An exhaust recirculation passage for recirculating exhaust gas from the exhaust passage to the cylinders extends along the proximate portions in the direction of the crankshaft and is communicated with each intake passage by way of a communicating hole.
