Estimating the term…
A method of controlling supercharging pressure in an internal combustion engine having a supercharger with an increase rate-varying device for varying the rate of increase of the supercharging pressure. The supercharging pressure is controlled to a desired value in response to the difference between the actual value of the supercharging pressure and the desired value. The increase rate-varying device is held in a position for obtaining the maximum rate of increase of the supercharging pressure while the actual value of the supercharging pressure is below a predetermined value which is lower than the desired value. The predetermined value is set to a lower value as the rate of increase of the supercharging pressure increases, or when a transmission of the engine is in a lower of two or more speed positions of the transmission. Also, the predetermined value of the supercharging pressure is set to a lower value as the actual intake air temperature decreases.
A method of controlling supercharging pressure in an internal combustion engine having a supercharger having increase rate-varying means for varying an increase rate of the supercharging pressure, wherein the supercharging pressure is controlled to a desired value in response to a difference between an actual value of the supercharging pressure and said desired value,
