The applicant requests exemption f o r t h e 1976 through 1980 Volkswagen Rabbit, Scirocco, Dasher, Golf, and Audi Fox model vehicles. 11. Description of t h e Modification The Power Haus Modification t o t h e Volkswagen 97 CID engine c o n s i s t s of t h e following: 1 Increasing s i z e of cylinders from 97 CID t o 110 CID. 2. Replacing OEM pistons with l a r g e r ones. 3. Replacing intake valves (38mm t o 4 0 m ) . 4. Replacing exhaust valves (32m t o 34m). 5. Replacing OEM crankshaft w i t h one giving a 90.51~1stroke. A l l applicable vehicles a r e fuel i n j e c t e d , water cooled and have transverse mounted engines.

111. Applicants' Test Results 0. The applicant tested a 1980 Vol kswagen Rabbit (VIN. 17A0778608) with a 97 CID, four cylinder, gasoline powered, fuel injected, transverse mounted engine with an odometer reading of 4037 miles. The tests were performed at Olson Engineering, Inc., Huntington Beach, California. The tests yielded the following results: Fuel Exhaust Emissions Economy (grams/mile) Test Description HC -CO NOx MPG Cold Start CVS-I1 Baseline Configuration 0.41 5.71 1.46 20.75 Cold Start CVS-I1 after Conversion and 100 Accumulated Miles 0.40 8.22 1 .OO 22.40 % Change vs. Baseline -2.44 +43.9 -31.5 +7.95 Cold Start CVS-I1 after Conversion, CO Adjustment and an Additional 250 Accumulated Miles 0.29 3.11 0.72 24.35 % Change vs. Baseline -29.26 -45.53 -50.68 +17.35 IV. Haagen-Smit Laboratory Test Results Since the Olson Laboratory had no control of the vehicle between the baseline test and the after-conversion tests, the staff had no way of knowing what was done to the vehicle between the tests. The staff therefore requested the Haagen-Smit Laboratory to perform a I confirmatory after-conversion test. The results of this test is as follows:

Exhaust Emissions ( g l m i ) HC - CO - NOx Cold S t a r t CVS-I1 0.41 4.63 1.09 % Change vs. Baseline 0.0 -18.91 -25.34 V. Discussion There was no way f o r t h e Haagen-Smit Laboratory t o perform a b a s e l i n e t e s t s i n c e t h e v e h i c l e could n o t be r e s t o r e d t o t h e o r i g i n a l configuration. However, from t h e r e s u l t s o f t h e t e s t s on t h i s vehicle, i t does n o t appear t h a t t h e engine m o d i f i c a t i o n s increase exhaust emissions. VI . Recomendati on Based on t h e submitted m a t e r i a l and t e s t r e s u l t s , t h e s t a f f recommends t h e exemption o f t h e "Oettinger/Okrasa Volkswagen Engine M o d i f i c a t i o n K i t " from t h e p r o h i b i t i o n s i n Section 27156 o f t h e Vehicle Code f o r t h e 1976 through 1980 Vol kswagen Rabbit, Scirocco, Dasher, Golf, and Audi Fox model vehicles. The s t a f f , t h e r e f o r e , recommends adoption o f Executive Order D-102.
