SUMMA RY Gale Banks Engineering (Banks) has requested an update to the exemption from the prohibitions in VYehicle Code Section 27156 for their add—on turbocharger kit mode! No. 6.2G designed for Chevrolet/GMC heavy—duty diesel! engines. The request is to include the 1988 through 1989 mode! year heavy—duty 3/4 and 1 ton Crew Cab and heavy—duty 3/4 ton Suburban applications . This would make the exemption applicable to the 1982—1989 Chevrolet/GMC heavy—duty vehicles which are powered by the General Motors 6.2 Liter heavy—duty diese! engine . Based on the fact t ha t Banks was previously granted exemption for the 1982—1987 mode! years and that the 1988 through 1989 General Motors engine family GMO6.2DAB was carried over from the 1987 model—year for the Crew Cab ~and Suburban, the staff concludes that Banks 6.2G turbocharger system will have the same degree of performance/emissions impact on the 1988 through 1989 model—year engines as it has on the 1987 and earlier model—ysar engines . Therefore, the staff recommends that Banks be granted an update and that Executive Order D—161—13 be issued.

EVALUATION OF GALE BANKS ENGINEERING‘S ADD—ON TURBOCHARGER KIT MODEL NO. 6.2G6 FOR INSTALLATION IN CHEVROLET/GMC HEAYVY—DUTY VEHICLES POWERED BY A 6.2 LITER GENERAL MOTORS HEAVY—DUTY DIESEL ENGINE E. INTRQDUCT|ON Gale Banks Engineering (Banks) of 546 Duggan Avenue, Azusa, California 91702, has requested an update to the exemption from —the prohibitions of Vehicle Code Section 27156 for their add—on turbocharger kit Model No.6.2G for Chevrolet/GMC heavy— duty vehicles powered by the 6.2 liter General Motors heavy— duty diesel| engine. The request is to include the 1988 through' 1989 model—year 3/4 and 1 ton Crew Cab and 3/4 ton Suburban veh icles . This would make the exemption applicable to the 1982— 1989 Chevrolet/GMC heavy—duty vehicles powered by the General Motors 6.2 liter heavy—duty engines. Banks was éranted an exemption for the 1982—1987 modei—year under Executive Order D—161—3 on October 23, 1986. bd . NCLUS 1 ON Based on the submitted information, the comparative exhaust emissions tests performed on a 1986 Chevrolet Suburban heavy—duty diesel! truck, and the 1989 certification documents which show that the General Motors engine family GMO6.20AB was a carry—over from 1987 for Crew Cab and Suburban, the staff concludes that the installation of _the Banks turbocharger kit model! No. 6.2G wi l l not adverseiy affect exhaust emissions from the 1988 through 1989 Crew Cab and Suburban vehicles for which the update has been requested.

.eviin, Id d . ECOMMENDAT ! ON The staff recommends that Banks be granted an update to include the 1988 through 1989 model—year Chevrolet/GMC heavy— duty, 3/4 and 1 ton Crew Cab and 3/4 ton Suburban vehicles pbowered by the 6.2 liter General Motors heavy—duty diesel engine and that Executive Order D—161—13 be issued. LY . TVURBCCHARGER KIT DESCRIPTION AND EVALUAT |ON For detalls of the turbocharger kit descer iption and evaluat ion, please refer to the May, 1986 staff report entit led, "EVALUATION OF GALE BANKS ENGINEERING‘S ADD—ON TURBOCHARGER KI1T MODEL NO . 6.2G FOR ELNSTALLAT 1ON IN CHEVROLET/GMC HEAVY—DUTY VEHICLES POWERED BY _A 6.2 LITER GENERAL MOTORS HEAVY—DUTY D IESEL ENGINE" . V. D I 1 The previous. evaluation of the Banks 68.2%G turbocharger system showed that it did not cause an adverse emissions effect when installed on a 1987 Chevrolet Suburban. Since the General Motors GMO6.2DAB engine family for Crew Cab and Suburban has not been changed for the 1988 through 1989 model—year, no adverse emissions effect will occur by the installation of the Banks 6.2G turbocharger system on the 1988 through 1989 model—year vehicles. An update should be granted and Executive Order D—161—13 should be issued.
