EVALUATION SUMMARY Manufacturer Name: General Motors Service Parts Operation Name of Device: ECOTEC Supercharger Upgrade Kit, Stage 1 and Stage 2 Background: General Motors Service Parts Operation has applied for an exemption from the prohibitions in Section 27156 of the California Vehicle Code (VC) for their ECOTEC Supercharger Upgrade Kit, Stage 1 and Stage 2, designed for 2004 through 2006 model year Chevrolet Cobalt and Saturn ION/Redline vehicles equipped with a supercharged 2.0L engine. Recommendation: Grant exemption to General Motors Service Parts Operation as requested and issue Executive Order D—126—10. Device Description: The ECOTEC Supercharger Upgrade Kit was designed to be installed on 2004 through 2006 model year Chevrolet Cobalt and Saturn ION/Redline vehicles equipped with a supercharged 2.0L engine. The intent of installing the ECOTEC Supercharger Upgrade Kitis to increase the power output from the engine. The power increase is due to the increase in air induction, accompanied by fuel enrichment through use of higher flow fuel injfectors and a new fuel calibration. The ECOTEC Supercharger Kit comes in two versions, Stage 1 and Stage 2. Stage 1 includes the following main parts: A set of 5.3 grams/second fuel injectors to replace the stock 4.35 grams/second injectors and a new fuel calibration that is downloaded to the stock ECU by a General Motors dealer. The new fuel calibration has no user adjustments. The ECOTEC Supercharger Upgrade Kit, Stage 2, includes alil components of Stage 1, a 77.9 mm diameter supercharger pulley and a high flow air filter cartridge in the stock air box. Maximum boost produced by the Stage 2 kit is 14.5 pounds per square inch. Maximum boost pressure produced by the Stage 1 kit is same as stock (12.5 pounds per square inch). Discussion/Basis for the Recommendation; A 2005 model year General Motors 2.0L supercharged Saturn lon Redline was used for the evaluation of the ECOTEC Supercharger Upgrade Kit. The test vehicle (test group 5GMXVO2.0018) was certified to the passenger car Ultra Low Emission Vehicle emission standards and was equipped with On—Board Diagnostic (OBD) II system. Testing consisted of one Cold—Start CVS—75 Federal Test Procedure (FTP) and the Supplemental Federal Test Procedure (USOS and SCO3) test cycles in the modified configuration (Stage 2 Kit installed) to set all readiness codes and measure emissions. The ARB did not perform testing to confirm the test results submitted by the applicant. Results from emissions testing conducted at Roush Emissions Laboratory, 12249 Levan Road, Livonia, Michigan 48150, are shown below (in grams per mile with assigned deterioration factors added to CVS—75 FTP results): CVS—75 FTP USO6/SCO3 NMOG CO NOx HCHO NMHC+NOx CO Standards 0.100 3.4 0.14 0.015 0.14/0.20 8.0/2.7 w/ Device 0.050 0.8 0.06 0.001 0.07/0.04 1.8/70.3

NMOG and HCHO for the Saturn lon Redline were calculated using the following conversion factors for the vehicle: NMOG/NMHC=1.04 and HCHO/NMHC= 0.02. Measured values were NMHC 0.043, CO 0.73, NOx 0.055. 50K assigned additive deterioration factors used were NMOG 0.0052, CO 0.10, NOx 0.007 and HCHO 0.00051. Vehicle test weight and horse power coefficients were 3375 lbs. and 36.4, 0.4884, 0.01749 respectively. The emission test results in the modified configuration were below the applicable certification emission standards. All OBD II system readiness indicators were set and no diagnostic trouble codes were triggered. Therefore, based on the test results, the staff concludes that the ECOTEC Supercharger Upgrade Kit (Stage 1 and Stage 2) meets the criteria for exemption of general criteria parts.
