August, 1989 EVALUATION OF GALE BANKS ENGINEERING‘S ADD—ON TURBOCHARGER KIT MODEL 6.2G FOR INSTALLATION IN 1982—1990 MODEL YEAR CHEVROLET/GMC G.2L HEAYY—DUTY DIESEL VEHICLES yertm, by Mobile Source Diviston 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 Engineering (Banks) has applied for an update to Executive Order D—161—13, which exempts their turbocharger kit model 6.2G from the prohibitions in Vehicle Code Section 27156 for 1982—1989 model year Chevrolet/GMC 6.2L heavy—duty diesel vehicles. The update request is for the inclusion of the 1990 model year Chevrolet/GMC heavy—duty diesel vehicles in the exemption. Because Banks was granted an exemption for 1982—1989 model year 6.2L Chevrolet/GMC heavy—duty diesel vehicles and that 1990 model year 6.2L heavy—duty diesel engine is carry—over from the previous years, the staff concludes that Banks‘ add—on turbocharger kit model 6.2G will not have an adverse effect on exhaust emissions from vehicles for which the exemption update has been requested. The staff recommends that Banks be granted an update as requested and that Executive Order D—161—15 be issued.

EVALUATION OF GALE BANKS ENGINEERING‘S ADD—ON TURBOCHARGER KIT MODEL 6.2G FOR INSTALLATION IN 1982—1990 MODEL YEAR CHEVROLET/GMC 6.2L HEAYVY—DUTY DIESEL YVEHICLES I. NT T Gale Banks Engineering (Banks) of 546 Duggan Avenue, Azusa, CA 91702, has applied for an update to Executive Order D—161—13, which exempts their turbocharger kit model 6.2G from the prohibitions in Vehicle Code Section 27156 for 1982—1989 model year Chevrolet/GMC 6.2L heavy—duty diesel vehicles. The update request would include 1990 model year Chevrolet/GMC heavy—duty diesel vehicles in the exemption. II. CONCLUSIGN Because Banks was granted an exemption for 1982—1989 model year 6.2L Chevrolet/GMC heavy—duty diesel vehicles and that 1990 model year 6.2L heavy—duty diesel engine is carry—over from the previous years, the staff concludes that the Banks‘ add—on turbocharger kit model 6.2G§ will not have an adverse effect on exhaust emissions from vehicles for which the exemption update has been requested. II1. RECO TION The staff recommends that Banks be granted an update as requested and that Executive Order D—161—15 be issued. IV. URBOCHARGER KIT DESCRI N The purpose of the Banks turbocharger system is to increase the power output of the engine by compressing the intake charge to pressures above that 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 in order to maintain proper air—fuel ratios when the turbocharger is providing positive manifold pressure (boost). Maximum positive manifold pressure is limited to 10 psig by the size of the turbine and the

compressor. The maximum engine speed is regulated by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) fuel injection governor. Therefore, by controlling maximum engine speed, maximum turbine speed and corresponding boost pressures are also controlled. The major components of the system include a 1.0 A/R ratio Rotomaster model! no. T0O4B turbocharger, custom intake adaptors, 3" diameter exhaust pipe, 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 kit include replacement of the air cleaner assembly and replacement of the OEM exhaust system with a 3" diameter exhaust system. v. DISCUS$SION Banks‘ add—on turbocharger kit model 6.2G is designed for installation on 6.2L Chevrolet/GMC heavy—duty diesel engines. The applicant is making the turbocharger available for 1990 model year 6.2L Chevrolet/GMC heavy—duty diesel vehicles. The applicant claims that no modifications to the kit are necessary for installation on 1990 model year applicable vehicles. Certification documents show that the 1990 model year 6.2L Chevrolet/GMC diesel engine is carried over from the previous years. Based on these considerations the staff concludes that no additional testing is required.
