SUMMARY Cmm Gale Banks Engineering (Banks) has requested an update to Executive Order D—161—10, which exempts their turbocharger kit mode! No. 6.9F for 1983—1987 and 1988 model—year Ford Motor Company heavy—duty vehicles powered _by a 6.9 and a 7.3 liter Navistar International heavy—duty diesel! engine. They have requested that the exemption be updated to include the 1989 model— year Ford Motor Company heavy—duty trucks powered by a 7.3 liter Navistar International heavy—duty diesel! engine. Based on the fact that the kit applicable to 1989 model—year 7.3 liter Navistar International heavy—duty diesel engine is identical to the exempted kit (for 1983—87 6.9 liter and 1988 7.3 liter), the staff believes that the add—on turbocharger kit will have no adverse effect on the engines for whichvexemption update is requested. The staff recommends that Banks be granted an update as requested, and the Executive Order D—161—11 be issued.

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 INTERNATIONAL HEAVY—DUTY DIESEL ENGINE AND 1988—89 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 L. INTRQDQQTIQN 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—10 dated Margh 30, 1988. E.0. D—161—10 exempted the Banks‘ turbocharger kit model No. 6.9F from the prohibitions in Vehicle Code Section 27156 for 1983—1987 and 1988 model—year Ford Motor Company heavy—duty vehicles powered by a 6.9 liter a 7.3 liter Navistar International heavy—duty diese! engine. The applicant has requested that the exemption be updated to inciude the 1989 model—year Ford Motor Company Fvtine heavy—duty trucks powered by a 7.3 liter Navistar International heavy—duty diesei engine. 11. N IQN Based on the fact that the kit applicable to 1989 modei—year 7.3 liter Navistar International heavy—duty diesel engine is identical to the exempted kit, and that the engine design is the same for 1989 as for 1988, the staff believes that the add—on turbocharger kit will have no adverse effect on the engines for which exemption update is requested.

e RECOMMENDAT IONS The staff recommends that Banks be granted an update as requested, and that Executive Order D—161—11 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 its 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 fuel delivery is slightly increased in order to maintain proper air—fuei ratios with the increased air flow from the turbocharger when it is providing positive manifold pressure (boost). The major components of the kit include a 1.0 A/R ratio Rotomaster mode! 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 limited to 7 psi by the size of the turbine and the compressor. The maximum engine speed is regulated by the OEM fuel injection governor which is not modified by the installation of the kit. Therefore, by controliing maximum engine speed, max imum turbine spesd and corresponding boost pressures are also controlled. No OEM emission controls are removed or disconnected when the turbocharger kit is installed.

V. D| LON | Banks‘ add—on turbocharger kit mode! No. 6.9F is designed for instalilation on 1983—1987 and 1988—89 model—year Ford Motor Company vehicles powered by a 6.9 liter and 7.3 liter Navistar international heavy—duty diesel engines, respectively. The exemption was granted on the basis that the effectiveness of the vehicle‘s poliution 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 mode! No. 6.9F for the 1989 model—year Ford Motor Company trucks powered by a 7;3 liter Navistar International heavy-duty diese! engine. The applicant claims that no modifications to the kit are needed in order to be compatible with the 1989 models. They have requested that the exemption be updated to( inciude these 1989 model—year trucks. The staff is of the opinion that the add—on turbocharger kit wili have no adverse effect on the vehicles/engines for which exemption update is requestsed.
