No. D—140—5 for their add—on turbocharger kit. The request is to include in the exemption the 1986 model—year Toyota light—duty trucks with a 2.4 liter (144 CID) four—cylinder fuel injected engine. Based on the results from comparative exhaust emission tests previously performed by Spearco at an independent laboratory and the fact that the engine and emission control systems of the 1986 fuel injected 2.4 Liter (144 CID) light—duty trucks are carry—overs {identical) from the 1985 model—year, the staff concludes that Spearco‘s turbocharger kit evaluated will not adversely affect exhaust emission from vehicles for which exemption is requested. The staff recommends that Spearco Performance Products, Inc. be granted an exemption as requested and that Executive Order D—140—15 be issued.

EVALUATION OF SPEARCQ PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS, INC.‘S ADD—ON TURBOCHARGER KIT FOR 2.4 LITER TOYOTA VEKICLES FOR EXEMPTION FROM THE PROHIBITIONS IN VEHICLE CODE SECTION 27156 IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 2222, TITLE 13, OF THE CALIFORNIA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE. 1. INTRODUCTION Spearco Performance Products, Inc., of 7541 Woodman Place, Van Nuys, California 91405, has requested an update to the existing ARB‘s E.0. No. D—140—5 for their add—on turbochargér kit. The turbocharger kit is intended for installation on 1985 and older model—year Toyota Celicas and 1986 and older model—year Toyota pick—up trucks with a 2.4 liter (144 CID) fuel injected four—cylinder engine. Spearco has previously submitted data from comparative (stock baseline versus turbocharged) emission tests conducted on a 1983 Toyota Celica at Olson Engineering, Inc. in Huntington Beach, California. Confirmatory tests were conducted on the same vehicle at the ARB laboratory in El Monte, California. II. CONCLUSION Based on the results from comparative exfiaust emission tests previously performed by Spearco at an independent laboratory on a 1983 Toyota Celica and the fact that the engine and emission control systems of i986 fue! injected Toyota and pick—up trucks are carry—overs (identical) from the 1985, 1984 and 1983 model year, the staff concludes that Spearco‘s turbocharger kit evaluated will not adversely affect exhaust emissions from vehicles for which exemption is requested.

111. RECOMMENDATIONS The staff recommends that Spearco be granted an exemption for their add—on turbocharger kit for installation on 1986 Toyota light—duty trucks powered by a 2.4 liter (144 CID) fuel injected four—cylinder engine. The staff also recommends that Executive Order D—140—15 be issued. IV, TURBOCHARGER KIT DESCRIPTIOK AND_OPERATION The original equipment manufacturer (OEM) exhaust manifold is replaced by a Spearco manifold. The turbine inlet mounts directly to the repiacement exhaust manifold. The turbine, driven by exhaust gases, is linked to the compressor by a solid shaft. Intake air is routed from the air flow meter to the compressor by the compressor inlet pipe. It is then compressed and routed into the intake plenum through the discharge pipe. Exhaust gases from the turbine is routed to the catalytic converter via the exhaust pipe. Lubrication and cooling of the turbocharger is provided by a steel braided line from a tap into the main oil galliey. 011 from the turbocharger is returned to the oil pan. Maximum positive pressure (boost) is limited to 5 psig by a wastegate mounted on the exhaust manifold. The wastegate is preset to dump excess exhaust gases when intake manifold pressure reaches 5 psig, thus bypassing the turbine,

The kit also includes a fuel enrichment device. The device connects to the intake manifold and coolant temperature sensor. When boost pressure reaches 4 psig, the device increases the electrical resistance of the temperature sensor. This increase in electrical resistance dictates the vehicle‘s computer to increase the fuel flow through the injector nozzles, thus enriching the fuel charge during boost conditions above 4 psig. An electronic spark retard module is employed to suppress detonation during boost conditfons or heavy load operations. The module utilizes a sensor, mounted on the intake manifold or cylinder head, to detect detonation. When detonation is detected, the module electronically retards the spark until detonation is eliminated. No modifications to the OEM tune—up specifications are required when the turbocharger kit is installed, All OEM emission controls are left intact. VI. DISCUSSION Spearco Performance Products, Inc., was previously granted an Executive Order (E.0.) No. D—140—5 for their turbocharger kit for use on 1985 and older model—year Toyota Celicas énd pick—up trucks with 2.4L fuel injected engines. The exemption was based on the fact that (1) the kit did not have an adverse effect on exhaust emissions on the 1983 test vehicle and (2) the 1985 model—year vehicles were carry—overs (identical) from 1984 and 1983 models. The applicant requested an update to the exemption to include 1986 model—year Toyota pick—up trucks with a 2.4 liter (144 CID) four—cylinder electronic fuel injected (with an air flow meter) engine.

In response to Spearco‘s request, the staff utilized the certification documents to compare the engine design of both 1986 and 1985 model—year Toyota 2.4 liter fuel injected engines. Since the engines in the 1986 models are identically designed as the 1985 éngines, the staff is of the opinion that the 1986 vehicles will have the same degree of performance/emissions fimpact as in those earlier models and will not have an adverse effect on the exhaust emissions. No additional testing was required or performed to incorporate Spearco‘s request to include the i986 models in their application for exemption.
