I—¥ Model Engine 1994 to 2001 Integra GSR 1.8L 1997 to 2001 Integra Type R 1.8L. 1992 to 2000 Civic 1.5 & 1.6L 1990 to 2001 Integra 1.8L The Honda Turbocharger Kit includes the following main components: Garrett turbocharger with _ no waste gate and a 6 psi. maximum boost, in—line ECU electrical modification to increase fuel flow at boost conditions, open element air filter, and an exhaust connecting pipe with an oxygen sensor fitting, similar to the OEM configuration. This Executive Order is valid provided the installation instructions for the Honda Turbocharger Kit will not recommend tuning the vehicle to specifications different from those of the vehicle manufacturer.

_ HKS USA Executive Order D—186—25 Honda Turbocharger Kit (Page 2 of 3) This Executive Order shall not apply to any Honda Turbocharger Kit advertised, offered for sale sold with, or installed on a new motor vehicle prior to or concurrent with transfer to an ultimate purchaser. Changes made to the design or operating conditions of the Honda Turbocharger Kit, as exempt by the Air Resources Board, which adversely affect the performance of the vehicle‘s pollution control system shall invalidate this Executive Order. Marketing of the Honda Turbocharger Kit using any identification other than that shown in this Executive Order or marketing of the Honda Turbocharger Kit for an application other than those listed in this Executive Order shall be prohibited unless prior approval is obtained from the Air Resources Board. Exemption of the Honda Turbocharger Kit shall not be construed as exemption to sell, offer for" sale, or advertise any component of the kit as an individual device. This Executive Order does not constitute any opinion as to the effect the use of the Honda Turbocharger Kit may have on any warranty either expressed or implied by the vehicle manufacturer. This Executive Order is granted based on submitted emissions test data which showed that the Honda Turbocharger Kit did not adversely affect tailpipe emissions during the Cold Start CVS—75 Federal Test Procedure. Testing was conducted on a 2000 Acura Integra certified to the Transitional Low—Emission Vehicle (TLEV) emission standard. Emission levels of the vehicle with the Tubocharger Kit installed met the vehicle‘s applicable emission standards. The following test results are in grams per mile with the deterioration factors applied: NMOG CO Nox HCHO Standard 0.125 3.4 0.4 0.015 Device w/idfs 0.090 1.5 0.1 0.002 This Executive Order is also based on an Board Diagnostic II (OBD II) test conducted on the same vehicle. Test data showed that the Honda Turbocharger Kit when installed on the vehicle did not affect the vehicle‘s ability to perform its OBD II monitoring. However, the ARB finds that reasonable grounds exist to believe that use of the Honda Turbocharger Kit may adversely affect emissions of motor vehicles when operating under conditions outside the parameters of the previously prescribed test procedures. Accordingly, the ARB reserves the right to conduct additional emission tests, in the future, as such tests are developed, that will more adequately measure emissions from all cycle phases. If such test results demonstrate that the turbocharger adversely affects emissions during off—cycle conditions (defined as those conditions which are beyond the parameters of the Cold—Start CVS—75 Federal Test Procedure), this Executive Order shall be effectively rescinded as of the date the test results are validated. Further, if such test results or other evidence provides the ARB with reason to suspect that the turbocharger will affect the durability of the emission control systems, HKS USA shall be required to submit durability data to show that the durability

HKS USA ' —_ Executive Order D—186—25 . Honda Turbocharger Kit (Page 3 of 3) of the vehicle emission control system is not, in fact, affected and/or that the add—on or modified part demonstrates adequate durability. in addition to the foregoing, the ARB reserves the right in the future to review this Executive Order and the exemption provided herein to assure that the exempted add—on or modified part continues to meet the standards and procedures of Title 13, California Code of Regulations, Section 2222, et seq. THIS EXECUTIVE ORDER DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A CERTIFICATION, ACCREDITATION, APPROVAL, OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF ENDORSEMENT BY THE AIR RESOURCES BOARD OF ANY CLAIMS OF THE APPLICANT CONCERNING ANTI—POLLUTION BENEFITS OR ANY ALLEGED BENEFITS OF HKS USA‘S HONDA TURBOCHARGER KIT. No claim of any kind, such as "Approved by the Air Resources Board", may be made with respect to the action taken herein in any advertising or other oral or written communication. Violation of any of the above conditions shall be grounds for revocation of this order. The order may be revoked only after a ten—day written notice of intention to revoke the order, in which period the holder of the order may request in writing a hearing to contest the proposed revocation. If a hearing is requested, it shall be held within ten days of receipt of the request and the order may not be revoked until a determination is made after the hearing that grounds for revocation exist.
