Abstract
An intake device of an engine having cylinders is provided. The intake device includes a cylinder head formed with two intake ports per cylinder, and a forced induction system. One of the two intake ports is designed to have a smaller passage cross-sectional area at a throat portion thereof than that of the other intake port, and to cause a strength of a tumble flow strength of intake air formed within a combustion chamber to be stronger when a flow of the intake air into the combustion chamber is assumed to be caused only from the one of the two intake ports, than only from the other intake port. A tumble ratio of the intake air flow within the combustion chamber is a predetermined value or greater when the intake air is forcibly induced and flows into the combustion chamber from the two intake ports.
