Abstract
In the present invention, in addition to a main throttle valve which is conventional, a sub-throttle valve for exclusive use of a mechanical supercharger is provided. By this sub-throttle valve, a flow rate of intake air is throttled by a fixed amount when the mechanical supercharger is switched from a non-connected state to a connected state. This makes it possible to prevent supercharged air from being bypassed to upstream of the supercharger through a bypass and also prevents generation of air intake noises. Moreover, in the case where the mechanical supercharger is of a type involving interior compression, at the time of the switching operation torque shock can be prevented and controllability of engine output by an accelerator pedal is improved.
