Abstract

An integrated induction system for providing fluids to the cylinders in an engine comprises a casing adapted for mounting on the engine. The casing has an air inlet and a plurality of fluid outlets. A plurality of air tubes are disposed within the casing so that air entering the air inlet flows through the air tubes and respective fluid outlets to the cylinders. Other fluid delivery systems, such as a fuel injection assembly, are mounted within the casing. A temperature sensor is also mounted within the casing.
