Abstract
The intake system includes an integrated airflow cooler module comprising a lower manifold assembly and a throttle body fluidly connected to, and disposed within the lower manifold assembly to meter combustion air into a lower manifold volume of the lower manifold assembly. An upper manifold assembly is configured for assembly to the lower manifold assembly to define a manifold volume therebetween and a heat exchanger is disposed in the manifold volume, between the upper manifold assembly and the lower manifold assembly and between a combustion air inlet in the integrated airflow cooler module and the throttle body.
