SUMMARY Gale Banks Engineering (Banks) has requested an update to Executive Order D—161—9, which exempts their turbocharger kit model No. 6.9F for 1983— 1987 and 1988 model—years Ford Motor Company heavy—duty vehicles powered by a 6.9 and a 7.3 liter Navistar International heavy—duty diesel engine, respectively. They have requested that the exemption be updated to include the 1988 model—year Ford Motor Company heavy—duty vehicles powered by a 7.3 liter Navistar International heavy—duty diesel engine and equipped with a 5—speed manual transmission, which requires rerouting the exhaust piping. Based on the fact that the kit applicable to 1988 model—year 7.3 liter Navistar International heavy~duty diesel vehicles equipped with a 5—speed manual transmission is identical to the exempted kit (for 1983—1987 6.9 liter and 1988 7.3 liter), except for the exhaust piping, the staff believes that the add—on turbocharger kit will have no adverse effect on the engines for which exemption update is requested. The staff recommends that Banks be granted an update as requested, and the Executive Order D—161—10 be issued. smm

EVALUATION OF GALE BANKS ENGINEERING‘S ADD—ON TURBOCHARGER KIT MODEL NO. 6.9F FOR INSTALLATION IN 1983—1987 MODEL—YEAR FORD MOTOR COMPANY HEAVY—DUTY VEHICLES POWERED BY A 6.9 LITER NAVISTAR [NTERNATIONAL HEAYVY—DUTY DIESEL ENGINE AND 1988 MODEL—YEAR FORD MOTOR COMPANY HEAVY—DUTY VEHICLES POWERED BY A 7.3 LITER NAVISTAR INTERNATIONAL HEAVY—DUTY DIESEL ENGINE FOR EXEMPTION FROM THE PROHIBITIONS IN VEHICLE CODE SECTION 27156 IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 2222, TITLE 13, OF THE CALIFORNIA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE . LNTROBUCT 1 ON Gale Banks Engineering (Banks) of 546 Duggan Avenue, Azusa, California $91702, has requested an update to the existing Air Resources Board Executive Order (E.0.) D—161—9 dated December 4, 1987. E.0. D—161—9 exempted the Banks‘ turbocharger Kit mode! No. 6.9F from the prohibitions in Vehicle Code Section 27158 for 1983—1987 and 1988 model—years Ford Motor Company heavy—duty vehicles powered by a 6.9 and a 7.3 liter Navistar Internat tona| heavy—duty‘diesel engine, respectively. The applicant has requested that the exemption be updatsd td Include the 1988 model—year Ford Motor Company heavy—duty vehicles powered by a 7.3 l|iter Navistar International heavy—duty diesel engine and equipped with a S5—speed manual transmission, which requires rerouting the exhaust piping. Db. CONCLUS tON Based on the fact that the kit applicable to 1988 model—year 7.3 Diter Naviétar International heavy—duty diesel vehicles equipped with a S—speed manual transmlission is identical to the exempted kit, except for the exhaust piping, the staff believes that the add—on turbocharger kit wiil have no adverse effect on the engines for which exemption update is requested. DT. RECOMMENDAT The staff recommends that Banks be granted an update as requested, ind that Executive Order D—161—10 be issued.

IV . TURBOCHARGER KIT DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION The purpose of the Banks turbocharger kit is to increase the power output of the engine by increasing |ts volumetric efficiency. This is accomplished by compressing the intake charge to pressures above that of the atmosphere. The increased pressure allows a greater charge density to enter the combustion chamber providing more oxygen for combustion. The max imum fue! delivery is slightly increased in order to maintain proper air—fuel ratios with the increased air flow from the turbocharger when it is providing positive manilifold pressure (boost). The major components of the kit include a 1.0 A/R ratio Rotomaster modeI No. TO4B or a Schwitzer/Banks Mode!| No. TO4B25 turbocharger, custom Intake and exhaust tubing, air cleaner assembly, brackets, hoses and the hardware necessary to complete the installation. Max imum positive manifold pressure is [imited to 7 psi by the size of the turbine and the compressor. The maximum engine speed is regulated by the OEM fuse! injection governor which is not modifiled by the instalilation of the kit. Therefore, by controlling maximum engine speed, maximum turbine speed and corresponding boost pressures are aiso controlled. Modifications to the OEM emlission—related parts due to the inétallation of the turbocharger kit inciude a new air cleaner assembly, a new 3" low restriction muffler and 3" diameter exhaust pipe. V. D | SCUSS | ON Banks‘ add—on turbocharger kit model! No. 6.9F is designed for installation on 1983—1987 and 1988 model—year Ford Motor Company vehicles powered by a 6.9 and 7.3 liter Navistar International heavy—duty diese! engine, respectively. Thse exemption was granted on the basis that the effectiveness of the vehicle‘s poliutlon control system was not reduced.

Evaluation consisted of comparative (baseline versus turbocharged) steady state tests. The applicant is making available the add—on turbocharger kit model! No. §6.9F for the 1988 model—year Ford Motor Company vehicles powered by a 7.3 liter Navistar Iinternational heavy—duty diesel! engine and equipped with a S—speed manual transmlission. The applicant claims that the only modification to the kit needed in order to be compatible with these vehicles is rerouting the exhaust piping. Comparative drawings of the exhaust piping is appended. They have requested that the sxemption be updated to inciude these 1988 model—year S—speed manual transmission equipped vehicles. In response to the appilcant‘s request, the staff compared the des ign of the two kits (kits previously exsmpted for 1983—1987 8.9 liter and 1988 7.3 liter and kit for S5—speed transmission}. The staff is of the opinion that the add—on turbocharger kit for the 5—speed manual transmission wii l have no adverse effect on the vehicles/engines for which sexemption update is requested. getes
