SUMMARY Spearco Performance Products, inc. (Spearco) has requested an exemption on their air—~to—air Intercooler Upgrade System part numbers 07—O102C, 2—173 and 2~174 which are applicable to 1989 Ford Probe Turbo 2.2 Liter and 1988—89 Mazda MX—6 2.2 Liter. Spearco was previously granted Executive Order D—140—23 on March 26, 1988 for their air—to—air Intercooler Kit No. 07—0102 for 1988 Ford Merkur. Based on engineering evaluation, the staff concludes that the Spearco Intercooler Upgrade System will not adversely affect exhaust emissions from the applicable vehicles. The staff recommends that Spearco be granted the exemption and that Executive Order D—140—24 be issued.

EVALUATION OF SPEARCO PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS, INC.‘S. AIR—TO~AIR INTERCOOLER UPGRADE SYSTEM PART NUMBERS 07—0102C, 2—173, AND 2—174 FOR EXEMPTION FROM THE PROHIBITIONS IN VEHICLE CODE SECTION 27156 IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 2222, TITLE 13, OF THE CALIFORNIA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE L. 1NTRODUCT I ON Spearco Performance Products, Inc. (Spearco) , of 7541 Woodman Place, Van Nuys, California 91405, has applied for exemption on their Intercooler Upgrade System for 1989 Ford Probe Turbo 2.2 Liter and 1988—89 Mazda MX—6 2.2 Liter. The Spearco intercooler replaces factory (OEM) intercooler and> offers improvement in charge cooling at higher speeds and slightly less charge air pressure. e CONCLUS E.0. D—140—23 was previously granted to Spearco on the basis that the Rapido Group air—to—air intercooler kit did not have an adverse effect on the exhaust emissions when the kit is Installed on the 1985—87 2.3 liter Ford Merkur vehlcles with OEM turbocharger. The previous intercooler and the new Intercooler Upgrade System are similar in design and function. Based on enginsering evaluation of the device, the staff concludes that the Spearco Intercooler Upgrade System part numbers O7—O0102C, 2—173 and 2—174 will not adversely affect exhaust emissions from the applicable vehicles. P11 . M AT ION The staff recommends that Spearco be granted an exemption as requested and the Executive Order D—140—24 be issued. IV. LNTER LE PGRADE SYSTEM D RIPTION AND OPERAT I The purpose of the intercooler is to reduce the temperature of the intake air/fuel! charge going into the turbocharged engine. This reduction in the intake charge temperature allows a higher charge density (more amount

of air per minute flowing through the engine) which means more fuel into the engine at a given intake manifold vacuum/pressure. The major components of the Spearco air—to—air intercooler Upgrade System are a heat exchanger and inter—connecting mandrel bent tubes. . They are packaged with installation hardware and Instructions and sold as a kit. The kit is designed using different design concepts, including tubing lengths, diameter and bends, to sulit the requirements of the individual vehicle. The air—to—air heat exchanger is located in such a way that the heated charge air flow goes through one section and amblent air flows through the other section, cooling the heated, compressed charge air. The cooled compressed air is then passed out of the heat exchanger to the intake manifold. The location for the installation of the heat exchanger varies with each vehicle mode!. v. D1SCUSSION Spearco‘s alr—to—air intercooler Upgrade System will not adversely affect the vehicle‘s emissions or degrade the vehicle‘s driveability. An intercooler being a device that reduces the temperature of charge air before it goes into the combustion chamber will facilitate better combustion and less pollutants. Turbo chargers increase the temperature and pressure of charge Inlet air and the intercooler reduces the temperature and hence the pressure before the charge enters the combustion chamber. Based on engineering evaluation, the staff is of the opinion that the Spearco air—to—air intercooler Upgrade System will not have an adverse effect on the exhaust emissions from applicable vehicles.
