EVALUATION OF THE MARTIN TURBO ENGINEERING, INC.‘S TURBOCHARGER KIT NO. 301 E10 FOR EXEMPTION FROM THE PROHIBITIONS IN VEKHICLE CODE SECTION 27156 IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 2222, TITLE 13, OF THE CALIFORNIA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE. I. INTRODUCTION Martin Turbo Engineering, Inc., of 1310 Johnson Drive, City of Industry, California 91745, has requested an update to the existing Air Resources Board‘s Executive Order (E.0.} No. D—114—1. The applicant requested that their add—on turbocharger kit No. 301 E1O be also exempted from the prohibitions in Vehicle Code {VC) Section 27156 for the 1984 model—year vehicles powered by a General Motors (GM) 305 or 350 CID eight—cylinder carbureted engine and automatic transmission. II. CONCLUSION Baséd on the fact that the closed—loop carbureted engines used in the 1984 model—year GM 305 CID vehicles up to 6000 1lbs. GVW are carryovers {identical engine designs}) from the 1983 model—year, the staff concludes that the turbocharger kit will not adversely affect exhaust emissions from 1984 vehicles powered by a GM 305 CID eight—cylinder carbureted engine and automatic transmission. However, since the Air Resources Board did not certify any GM vehicles up to 6000 Tbs. GVW powered by a 350 CID engine in 1984, the staff is unable to include the 1984 GM 350 CID passenger cars in the update exemption. III. RECOMMENDATIONS The staff recommends that Martin Turbo Engineering, Inc. be granted their update request for gasoline engine powered vehicles up to 6000 Ibs. GVW powered by a GM 305 CID eight—cylinder carbureted engine and automatic transmission in the exemption of their add—on turbocharger kit No. 301 E10. The staff recommends that Executive Order No. D—114—2 be issued.

IV. TURBOCHARGER KIT DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION The purpose of turbocharging is to increase the volumetric efficiency of an engine by forcing more air into an engine than it would take in under naturally aspirated conditions. The major components of the turbocharger kit are a RaJay turbocharger model No. 301 E10 with an A/R ratio of 1.0, a replacement Martin inlet manifold lid and exhaust manifold (right cylinder bank)}, a crossover pipe, replacement secondary metering rods, and a water injedtion unit. The as a kit. The crossover pipe routes exhaust from the left cylinder bank to join the right cylinder bank exhaust at the Martin exhaust manifold. The turbine . inlet of the turbocharger mounts directly to the exhaust manifold. The turbine and the compressor are Tinked together by a solid shaft and driven by exhaust gases. Intake air/fuel mixture is compressed by the compressor and returned to the intake manifold lid. Maximum positive manifold pressure (boost) is limited to 5 psi by a pressure control valve positioned in the intake manifold 1lid. No wastegate or other active Timiting device is used. Lubrication of the turbocharger is provided by a line from the oil1 pressure sending unit mounted on the engine block to the turbocharger bearing housing. Oil from the turbocharger is returned to the oil drain adapter positioned between the fuel pump and engine block.

The original equipment manufacturer (OEM) secondary metering rods (ID CH) in the carburetor are replaced by Martin‘s No. 937050 metering rods (ID CJ). The metering rods are raised by 0.005 of an inch from the OEM position. The applicant claims that the replacement metering rods increases secondary «fuel delivery for proper and efficient operation of the kit. Water injection is employed to control NOx emissions and to suppress detonation. Water is drawn from a small plastic reservoir by a pump and injected into the top of the carburetor through a nozzle. Flow is restricted by a 0.015 inch orifice ahead of the nozzle. The pump is activated when manifold vacuum is beTow 6 inches Hg. No modifications to the OEM tune—up specifications are required nor permitted when the turbocharger kit is installed. All OEM emissions controls afe left intact. V. DISCUSSION Martin Turbo Engineering, Inc‘s. turbocharger kit No. 301 E10, applicable to 1983 and older model—year vehicles up to 6000 Tbs. GVW powered by a GM 305 or 350 CID eight—cylinder carbureted engine and automatic transmission, was granted an exemption (E.0. No. D—114—1) on May 28, 1983. The exemption was granted on the basis that the effectiveness of the vehicle‘s pollution control system was not reduced. Evaluation consisted of comparative {(without and with the kit installed on a test vehicle) chassis dynamometer CYS—75 and HFE tests at normal certification dynamometer road Toading.

The applicant is making available kit No. 301 E10 for the 1984 models powered by a GM 305 or 350 CID engine also. The applicant requested that the exemption be updated to include these vehicles. In response to the request, the staff reviewed the 1984 model—year | certification for application submitted by GM. The staff revealed that: 1. no GM vehicles up to 6000 Tbs. GVW powered by a 350 CID engine were California—certified in 1984; and 2. the closed—l0oop carbureted GM 305 CID engines used in the 1984 model—year vehicles up to 6000 lbs. GVW are carryovers. The staff is therefore, of the opinion that the 1984 GM 305 CID vehicles up to 6000 lbs. GVW will have the same degree of performance/emissions impact as in the 1983 model—year GM vehicles up to 6000 Tbs. GVW models which have been granted exemption under Executive Order D—114—1. No additional testing was required or performed for updating the passenger car exemption.
