This exemption shall not apply to any device, apparatus, or mechanism advertised, offered for sale or sold with, or installed on, a motor vehicle prior to or concurrent with transfer to an ultimate purchaser. This Executive Order is valid provided that installation instructions for this turbocharger system will not recommend tuning the vehicle to specifications different from those submitted by the system manufacturer. Changes made to the design or operating conditions of the turbocharger system, as exempted by the Air Resources Board, that adversely affect the performance of a vehicle‘s pollution control system shall invalidate this Executive Order. Merketing of this system using an idenftification other fhan that shown in this Executive Order or marketing of this system for an application other than those lTisted in this Executive Order shalli be prohibited unless prior approval is obtained from the Air Resources Board. Exemption of a turbeocharger system shall not be construed as esxemption to sell, offer for sale, or advertise any component of a kit as an individual device. This Executive Order does not constitute any opinion as to the effect that the use of this turbocharger system may have on any warranty either expressed or implied by the vehicle manufacturer.

State of California AIR RESOURCES BOARD EVALUATION OF GALE BANKS ENGINEERING‘S ADD—ON TURBOCHARGER SYSTEM MODEL 6.9F FOR EXEMPTION FROM THE PROHIBITIONS OF VEHICLE CODE SECTION 27156 IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 2222, TITLE 13, OF THE CALIFORNIA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE August 1989

State of California AIR RESOURCES BOARD EVALUATION OF GALE BANKS ENGINEERING‘S ADD—ON TURBOCHARGER SYSTEM MODEL 6.9F FOR EXEMPTION FROM THE PROHIBITIONS OF VEHICLE CODE SECTION 27156 IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 2222, TITLE 13, OF THE CALIFORNIA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE by Mobile Source Division State of California Air Resources Board 9528 Telstar Avenue E1 Monte, CA 91731 (This report has been reviewed by the staff of the California Air Resources Board and approved for publication. Approval does not signify that the contents necessarily reflect the views and policies of the Air Resources Board, nor does mention of trade names or commercial products constitute endorsement or recommendation for use.)

SUMMARY Gale Banks Engingering (Banks) has requested an update to Executive Order D—161—11, which exempts their Turbocharger System Model 6.9F for the following vehicles: 1. 1983—1987 model year Ford vehicles powered by a 6.9L Navistar International heavy—duty diesel engine and 2. 1988—1989 model year Ford vehicles powered by a 7.3L Navistar heavy—duty diesel engine. Banks has requested that the exemption be updated to include the 1990 model year Ford vehicles powered by a 7.3L Navistar heavy—duty diesel engine. Because there is no emissions related difference between the 1989 and the 1990 model year versions of the 7.3L Navistar heavy—duty diesel engine and no modifications have been made to the Turbocharger System Model 6.9F, the staff believes that the add—on turbocharger system will have no adverse effect on exhaust emissions from the engine for which the exemption update is requested. The staff recommends that Banks be granted an update as requested and that Executive Order D—161—14 be issued.

EVALUATION OF GALE BANKS ENGINEERING‘S ADD—ON TURBOCHARGER SYSTEM MODEL 6.9F FOR EXEMPTION FROM THE PROHIBITIONS OF VEHICLE CODE SECTION 27156 IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 2222, TITLE 13, OF THE CALIFORNIA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE I. INTRODUCTION Gale Banks Engingering (Banks) of 546 Duggan Avenue, Azusa CA 91702, has requested an update to Executive Order (E.0.) D—161—11 dated October 27, 1988. E.0. D—161—11 exempted their Turbocharger System Model 6.9F from the prohibitions in Vehicle Code Section 27156 for the following vehicles: 1. 1983—1987 model year Ford vehicles powered by a 6.9L Navistar International heavy—duty diesel engine and 2. 1988—1989 model year Ford vehicles powered by a 7.3L Navistar International heavy—duty diesel engine. Banks has requested that the exemption be updated to include the 1990 model year Ford vehicles powered by a 7.3L Navistar heavy—duty diesel engine. II. CONCLUSIO | Because there is no emissions related difference between the 1989 and the 1990 model year versions of the 7.3L Navistar heavy—duty diesel engine and no modifications have been made to the Turbocharger System Model 6.9F, the staff believes that the add—on turbocharger system will have no adverse effect on exhaust emissions from the engine for which the exemption update is requested. III. RECOMMENDATION The staff recommends that Banks be granted an update as requested and that Executive Order D—161—14 be issued. IV. BOCHARGER KIT DESCRIPTION AT The purpose of the Banks turbocharger system is to increase the power output of thé engine by compressing the intake charge to pressures above that —1—

of the atmosphere. This increased pressure allows a greater charge density to enter the combustion chamber and increases the volumetric efficiency of the engine. The maximum fuel delivery is slightly increased to maintain proper air—fuel ratios when the turbocharger is providing positive manifold pressure (boost). Maximum positive manifold pressure is limited to 7 psi by the size of the turbine and the compressor. The maximum engine speed is regulated by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) fuel injection governor. Controlling the maximum engine speed also controls the maximum turbine speed and corresponding boost pressure. The major components of the kit include a 1.0 A/R ratio Rotomaster Model No. TO4B or a Schwitzer/Banks Model No. TO4B25 turbocharger, custom intake and exhaust tubing, air cleaner assembly, brackets, hoses and the hardware necessary to complete the installation. Modification to the OEM emission related parts due to the installation of the turbocharger system include replacement of the air cleaner assembly and replacement of the OEM exhaust system with a 3" diameter exhaust system. V. DISCUSSION The applicant is making available the add—on Turbocharger System Model 6.9F for the 1990 model year Ford vehicles powered by a 7.3L Navistar heavy— duty diesel engine. The applicant claims that no modifications to the system are necessary for installation on 1990 model year applicable vehicles. Certification documents show that the 1990 model year 7.3L Navistar heavy—duty diesel engine is carried over from the previous year for which the turbocharger system has been exempt. The staff believes that the add—on turbocharger system will have no adverse effect on the vehicles/engines for which the exemption update is requested and that no additional testing is required. —3.
