State of California AIR RESOURCES BOARD EVALUATION OF SPEARCO PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS, INC.‘S ADD—ON INTERCOOLED TURBOCHARGER KIT FOR INSTALLATIQN IN FORD MOTOR COMPANY VEKICLES POWERED BY A 6.9 LITER INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER HEAVY—DUTY DIESEL ENGINE October, 1985

EVALUATIQON OF SPEARCO PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS, INC.‘S ADD—ON INTERCOOLED TURBOCHARGER KIT FOR INSTALLATION IN FORD MOTOR COMPANY VEHICLES POWERED BY A 6.9 LITER INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER HEAVY—DUTY DIESEL ENGINE by Mobile Source Division State of California Air Resources Board 9528 Telstar Avenue E1 Monte, CA 91731 (This report has been reviewed by the staff of the California Air Resources Board and approved for publication. Approval does not signify that the contents necessarily reflect the views and policies of the Air Resources Board, nor does mention of trade names or commercial products constitute endorsement or recommendation for use.)

SUMMARY Spearco Performance Products, Inc. has requested an exemption from the prohibitions in Vehicle Code Section 27156 for their add—on intercooled turbocharger kit. The intercooled turbocharger kit is intended for installation on 1983 through 1985 model—year Ford Motor Company vehicles powered by a 6.9 liter International Harvester heavy—duty diesel engine. Spearco has submitted data from comparative (stock baseline versus turbocharged) emission tests conducted on a 1984 Ford F—350XL heavy—duty diesel truck. Based on the results from comparative exhaust emission tests performed by Spearco, the staff concludes that Spearco‘s intercooled turbocharger kit evaluated will not adversely affect exhaust emissions from vehicles for which exemption is requested. The staff reeommends that Spearco be granted an exemption for their — add—on intercooled turbocharger kit for installation on 1983 through 1985 model~year Ford Motor Company vehicles powered by a 6.9 liter International Harvester heavy—duty diesel engine. The staff also recommends that Executive Order D—140—9 be issued.

EVALUATION OF SPEARCOQ PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS, INC.‘S ADD—ON INTERCOOLED TURBOCHARGER KIT FOR INSTALLATION IN FORD MOTOR COMPANY VEKHICLES POWERED BY A 6.9 LITER INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER HEAVY—DUTY DIESEL ENGINE I. INTRODUCTION Spearco Performance Products, Inc., of 7541 Woodman Place, Van Nuys, California 91405, has requested an exemption from the prohibitions in Vehicle Code Section 27156 for their add—on intercooled turbocharger kit. The intertcooled turbocharger kit is intended for installation on 1983 through 1985 model—year Ford Motor Company vehicles powered by a 6.9 liter International Harvester heavy—duty diesel engine. Spearco has submitted data from comparative (stock baseline versus turbocharged) emission tests conducted on a 1984 Ford F—350XL heavy—duty ~ diesel truck at FCI International Testing Laboratory in Santa Ana, California. II. CONCLUSION Based on the results from comparative exhaust emission tests performed by Spearco at an independent laboratory on a 1984 Ford F—350XL truck, the staff concludes that Spearco‘s intercooled turbocharger kit evaluated will not adversely affect exhaust emissions from vehicles for which exemption is requested. III. RECOMMENDATIONS The staff recommends that Spearco be granted an exemption for their add—on intercooled turbocharger kit for installation on 1983 through 1985 model—year Ford Motor Company vehicles powered by a 6.9 liter International Harvester heavy—duty diesel engine. The staff also recommends that Executive Order D—140—9 be issued.

IV. TURBOCHARGER KIT DESCRIPTION The purpose of turbocharging an engine is to increase the volumetric efficiency of a engine by forcing more air into an engine than it would take in under stock (non—turbocharged) OEM conditions. An intercooler manifold is added to reduce the temperature of the compressed intake air going into the engine. The major components of the Spearco intercooled turbocharger kit are a 1.0 A/R ratio Rajay/Rotomaster turbocharger, an exhaust manifold to turbocharger adaptor, an intercooler manifold, and an intake manifold bonnet. The components are packaged with installation hardware and instructions and sold as a kit. The QEM exhaust manifold (left bank) is replaced by the Spearco exhaust manifold to turbocharger adaptor. The turbine inlet mounts directly to the replacement exhaust manifold. Intake air is routed from the air cleaner assembly to the compressor. Compressed air is then piped through the intercooler manifold into the engine. For optimum performance of the turbocharger kit, the fuel pump is recalibrated for increased fuel delivery. Spearco recommends that the fuel delivery rate be increased by 12%. This can be accomplished by rotating the adjusting screw 150°. Maximum positive manifold pressure (boost) is limited to 10 psig by the size of {and the speed of exhaust flow through ) the turbine housing. No wastegate or other active boost limiting device is used. Lubrication and cooling of the turbocharger is provided by oil hosed from the oi1 pressure sending unit. Oil from the turbocharger is returned to the oil pan. All OEM emission controls are left intact. 1 p ~

V. TURBOCHARGER KIT EVALUATION Evaluation of the Spearco add—on intercooled turbocharger kit consisted of comparative (without and with the kit installed on the test vehicle) exhaust emission tests. A 1984 Ford F—350XL was used for generating the test data from steady—state tests as per adopted "Criteria for Evaluation of Add—On Parts and Modified Parts; Criteria for Testing Aftermarket Turbochargers". A summary of the data from comparative tests is shown in Table 1. Table 1 Spearco‘s Emission Test Data Evaluation of Spearco‘s Add—On Intercooled Turbocharger Steady—State Tests Exhaust Emissions (ppm) Mode HC CO NOx Baseline Idle 200 140 22 Turbo Idle . 110 140 33 Baseline 20 mph 510 977 . 95 Turbo 20 mph A03 870 44 Baseline 30 mph 380 803 99 Turbo 30 mph 320 733 43 Baseline 40 mph 200 420 102 Turbo 40 mph 203 403 33 Baseline 50 mph 290 581 141 Turbo 50 mph 235 458 40 Baseline 55 mph 305 587 161 Turbo 55 mph 245 468 53 VI. DISCUSSION A summary of the comparative emission data is tabulated in Table 1. The data indicates that exhaust emissios are lower with the turbocharger kit than without the kit, except a slight increase in oxides of nitrogen {NOx) emissions during idle. In general, the data demonstrates compliance with the requirements for the exemption. Due to limited resources, ARB did not perform confirmatory tests. 2o3 ~
