State of California AIR RESOURCES BOARD Staff Report February 19, 1982 Evaluation of the BAE Turbocharger Kit No. 3—0012 for Compliance with the Requirements of Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code I. INTRODUCTION BAE of 3032 Kashiwa Street, Torrance, California 90505, has requested by letter dated November 4, 1981, an update to the existing Air Resources Board‘s Executive Order (E.0.) No. D—97—7. The applicant requested that their add—on turbocharger kit, kit number 3—0012, be exempted from the prohibitions of Vehicle Code (V.C.) Section 27156 for the 1982 BMW 6331 and 7331 model vehicles powered by a 195.9 cubic inch displacement (CID) six—cylinder gasoline engine. II. TURBOCHARGER KIT DESCRIPTION The detailed description of the turbocharger kit is given in the ARB Staff Report titled "Evaluation of the BAE Turbocharger Kit No. 3—0000W!1 for Compliance with the Requirements of Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code", dated October 7, 1981. III. DISCUSSION BAE turbocharger kit number 3—0000W1 applicable to 1980 and 1981 model—years BMW 6331 and 733i models powered by a 195.9 CID gasoline engine was granted an exemption (E.0. No. D—97—7) on October 7, 1981. The exemption was granted on the basis that the effectiveness of the vehicle‘s pollution control system was not reduced.

The applicant is making available an add—on turbocharger kit for the 1982 models. The kit for the 1982 models, kit number 3—0012, has identical components as kit number 3—0000W1 except for the discharger pipe (pipe for routing intake air from the turbocharger compressor outlet into the intake plenum). Although the discharge pipes are bent differently, to accomodate the engine compartment on the newer vehicles, the two kits are identical in operation and performance. The applicant has requested that the exemption be updated to include the 1982 model vehicles. In response to the request, the staff compared the BMW engine design of both (1981 and 1982) model—years. In particular, the effects, if any, the turbocharger kit would have on the vehicle‘s emissions. Since the staff noticed that the 1982 engines are designed with a significantly higher nominal compression ratio (8.8:1 compared to 8.0:1), additional emissions testing was requested to assure that the kit will not adversely affect exhaust emissions. The applicant performed comparative emissions tests on a 1982 BMW 7331 vehicle. The emissions test data submitted by the applicant are as follows: Table 1 Applicant‘s Emissions Test Data Fuel Exhaust Emissions (g/mi) Economy Test HC CO NOx (mpg) Baseline CVS—75 0. 32 1.39 0.25 16.3 Device CVS—75 0. 36 1.41 0.25 16.3
