Abstract
A four-cylinder engine has a valve overlap period during which an exhaust valve and an intake valve of each cylinder are both opened. Cylinder pipes for cylinders having adjacent ignition timings of the engine are connected to a turbo charger, and cylinder pipes for cylinders having adjacent ignition timings are connected to another turbo charger. Accordingly, a properly great supercharging pressure can be obtained in a low engine-speed area.
