EVALUATION OF THE EDELBROCK CORPORATION‘S FUEL INJECTION KIT FOR AN EXEMPTION FROM THE PROHIBITIONS OF VEHICLE CODE SECTION 27156 IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 2222, TITLE 13, OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS I. INTRODUCTION The Edelbrock Corporation of 2700 California Street, Torrance, California 90509—2936 has applied for an exemption from the prohibitions in Section 27156 of the California Vehicle Code (VC) for their fuel injection kit designed for 1987—95 vehicles originally equipped with a General Motors 5.7 or 7.4 liter throttle body injected engine, excluding the two following 1995 model—year engine families: S3G5.785GBEB & S3G5.7J5G1EA. II. CONCLYUSIONS Based on submitted emissions test data, the staff concludes that the Edelbrock Corporation‘s Performer Multi—Point Electronic Fuel Injection Conversion Kit will not adversely affect exhaust emissions from the vehicles for which the exemption is requested. III. RECOMMENDATION The staff recommends that the Edelbrock Corporation be granted an exemption for their Performer Multi—Point Electronic Fuel Injection Conversion Kit for installation on those applicable vehicles with General Motors engines. The staff also recommends that Executive Order D—215—286 be issued. IV. EUEL INJECTION KIT DESCRIPTION The Performer Multi—Point Electronic Fuel Injection Conversion Kit is designed for installation on 1987—95 vehicles originally equipped with a General Motors 5.7 or 7.4 liter throttle body injected engine, excluding the two following 1995 model—year engine families: §3G5.785GBEB & S3GS5.7J5GIEA. Table 1 lists applicability. Table 1 Part No. Model—Year Engine Displacement 3501 1992—95 5.7L 3502 1987—92 5.7L 3562 1987—91 7 .4L 3563 1992—95 7.4L The purpose of converting an engine from throttle body injection to multi—point injection is to increase the engine‘s performance and power output. The Performer Multi—Point Electronic Fuel Injection Conversion Kit includes the following main components: Intake manifold, EPROM, fuel rails, fuel regulator, fuel pump, 8 Magnetti Marelli Pico injectors, and all the —1—

necessary hardware and electrical components for proper installation. The new components are designed to transform the vehicle‘s throttle body fuel injection system to a more sophisticated multi—point fuel injected system without any major modifications to the vehicle‘s electronic control unit (ECU) or wiring harness. The installation of the Performer Multi—Point Electronic Fuel Injection Conversion Kit modifies the existing throttle body to cperate as an air valve. The ECU is modified with a new EPROM, and an additional fuel pump is installed by the stock fuel filter. The stock in;ake manifold is removed and replaced with the intake manifold provided by Edelbrock. The installation of Edelbrock‘s fuel injection kit does not require the removal of any emission related components or sensors. v. DISCUSSION OF THE FUEL INJECTION KIT A 1994 Chevrolet C1500 truck with a 5.7L engine was used for the evaluation of the fuel injection kit. Testing consisted of one Cold Start CVS—75 Federal Test Procedure in the modified configuration. The dynamometer inertia weight and horsepower settings were 5250—lbs and 14.8 hp, respectively. The emissions testing was conducted by the Edelbrock Corporation, data was evaluated against the vehicle‘s emission standards with deterioration factors (Dfs) applied. Confirmatory testing was performed at the Air Resources Board‘s (ARB‘s) Haagen—Smit Laboratory. Table 2. list those results. Table 2. NMHC co NOx Device w/ Dfs at Edelbrock 0.34 5.2 0.75 Device w/ Dfs at Haagen—Smit 0.39 6.1 0.61 Standards 0.50 9.0 1.0 Emission test results submitted by Edelbrock and confirmed by the ARB were below the vehicle‘s applicable emission standards with deterioration factors applied. Therefore, based on the test results, the staff concludes that the installation of the fuel injection kit will not have an adverse effect on exhaust emissions on those applicable vehicles when operated similar to the CVS—~75 Federal Test Procedure. The Edelbrock Corporation has spbmitted all the required information and fulfilled the requirements for an exemption. —2~
