INTRODUCT ION Spearco Performance Products, Inc. (Spearco), of 7541 Woodman Place, Van Nuys, California 91405, has requested an update to the existing Air Resources Board (ARB) Executive Order (E.0.) D—140—23. Under E.0. D—140—23, Spearco‘s Rapido Group air—to—air Ifitercooler Kit Number 07—0102 is exempt from the prohibitions of Vehicle Code Section 27156 for use on 1985—1988 2.3 liter Ford Merkur vehicles with OEM turbochargers. The request is to include 1989 model—year Ford Merkur 2.3 liter vehicles with an OEM turbocharger in the exemption. e NCLUS ! ON E.0. D—140—23 was granted to Spearco on the basis that the Rapido Group air—to—air Intercooler Kit has no adverse effect on exhaust emissions when the kit is installed on 1985—1988 2.3 liter Ford Mercur vehicles with OEM turbochargers. Since the 1989 model—year 2.3 liter Ford Mercur vehicles are carry—overs from 1988 models, the staff concludes that Spearco‘s Rapido Group air—to—air intercooler Kit Number 07—0102 will not adversely affect exhaust emissions from the 1989 model—year vehicles.

IV. TURBOCHARGER KIT DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 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 fue! into the engine at a given Iintake manifold vacuum/pressure. The major components of the Spearco Rapido Group air—to—air Intercooler Kit Number 07—0102 are a heat exchanger and inter—connecting mandre! bent tubes. They are packaéed 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 suit 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 ambient 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 model!. V. I 1LON Spearco‘s Rapido Group air—to—air Intercooler Kit Number 07—0102 is exempt from the prohibitions of California Vehicle Code Section 27156 by E.0. D—140—23 on the basis that the use of the Intercooler would not adversely affect the vehicles‘ emissions or degrade the vehicles‘ driveability. The applicant requested an update of the exemption to include

the 1989 model—year 2.3 liter Ford Merkur vehicies with OEM turbochargers. Since the 1989 model—year 2.3 liter Ford Mercur vehicles are carry—overs from the 1988 models, the staff concliudes that the Rapido Group air—to—air intercooler Kit Number 07—0102 will have no adverse effect on exhaust emissions from the 1989 model—year vehicles.
