SUMMARY 2=9we Gale Banks Engineering (Banks) has requested an update to Executive Order D—161—15, which exempts their Turbocharger System Model 6.2G from the prohibitions in Vehicle Code Section 27156 for 1982—1990 model year Chevrolet/GMC 6.2L heavy—duty diesel vehicles. Banks has requested that the exemption be updated to include the 1991 model year Chevrolet/GMC vehicles powered by a 6.2L heavy—duty diesel engine. Since the 1991 model year 6.2L Chevrolet/GMC heavy—duty diesel engine is carried over from the previous year for which the turbocharger system has been exempted, and no modifications have been made to the Turbocharger System Model 6.2G, the staff believes that the add—on turbocharger system will have no adverse effect on exhaust emissions from the engine for which the exemption update is requested. Fombtmest The staff recommends that Banks be granted an update as requested and that Executive Order D—161—18 be issued.

EVALUATION OF GALE BANKS ENGINEERING ADD—ON TURBOCHARGER SYSTEM MODEL 6.2G FOR EXEMPTION FROM THE PROKHIBITIONS OF VEHICLE CODE SECTION 27156 IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 2222, TITLE 13, OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS I. INTRODBUGTION Gale Banks Engineering (Banks) of 546 Duggan Avenue, Azusa, California 91702, has requested an update to Executive Order (E.0) D—161—15 dated August 9, 1990. The E.0. D—161—15 exempts the Banks‘ Turbocharger System Model 6.2G6 from the prohibitions of Vehicle Code (VC) Section 27156 for the 1982—1990 model—year Chevrolet/GMC 6.2L heavy—duty diesel vehicles. Banks has requested that the exemption be updated to include the 1991 model year Chevrolet/GMC vehicles powered by a 6.2L engine. II. CONCLUSIONS Since the 1991 model year 6.2L Chevrolet/GMC heavy—duty diesel engine is carried over from the previous year for which the turbocharger system has been exempted, and no modifications have been made to the Turbocharger System Model 6.26, the staff believes that the add—on turbocharger system will have no adverse effect on exhaust emissions from the engine for which the exemption update is requested. III. RECOMMENDATION The staff recommends that Banks be granted an update as requested and the Executive Order D—161—18 be issued. IV. TURBOCHARGER KIT DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION The purpose of the Banks turbocharger system is to increase the power output of the engine by compressing the intake charge to pressures above that of the atmosphere.

This increased pressure allows a greater charge density to enter the combustion chamber and increases the volumetric efficiency of the engine. The maximum fuel delivery is slightly increased to maintain proper air—fuel ratios when the turbocharger is providing positive manifold pressure (boost). Maximum positive manifold pressure is limited to 10 psi by the size of the turbine and the compressor. The maximum engine speed is regulated by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) fuel injection governor. Controlling the maximum engine speed also controls the maximum engine turbine speed and corresponding boost pressure. The major components of the kit include a 1.0 air ratio (A/R) Rotomaster Model No. TO4B turbocharger, custom intake adaptors, 3" diameter exhaust pipe, air cleaner assembly, brackets, hoses and the hardware necessary to complete the installation. Modification to the OEM emission related parts due to the installation of the turbocharger system include replacement of the air cleaner assembly and replacement of the OEM exhaust emm, system with a 3" diameter exhaust system. V. DISCUSSION The applicant is making the add—on Turbocharger System Model 6.2G available for the 1991 model year Chevrolet/GMC vehicles powered by a 6. 2L heavy—duty diesel engine. The applicant claims that no modifications to the system are necessary for installation on 1991 model year applicable vehicles. Certification documents show that the 1991 model year 6.2L Chevrolet/GMC heavy—duty diesel engine is carried over from the previous year for which the turbocharger system has been exempted. Based on these considerations, the staff believes that the add—on turbocharger system will have no adverse effect on the vehicles/engines for which the exemption update is requested and no additional testing is required.
