Abstract
The suction is provided as an integral member which includes a casing having an air inlet and a plurality of ports forming outlets to the engine cylinders, a filter in the casing for filtering air flowing through the air inlet, a collection chamber in the casing for receiving air from the filter, at least one throttle valve in the casing for controlling the flow of air from said filter to said collection chamber, and a plurality of suction pipes for communicating with the respective cylinders of the engine through said outlets. The suction device can be made compact to thereby more effectively use the engine compartment of an automobile.
