State of California AIR RESOURCES BOARD EVALUATION OF GALE BANKS ENGINEERING‘S ADD—ON TURBOCHARGER KIT MODEL NO. 6.9F FOR INSTALLATION IN FORD MOTOR COMPANY HEAVY—DUTY VEHICLES POWERED BY A 6.9 LITER NAVISTAR INTERNATIONAL HEAVY—DUTY DIESEL ENGINE October, 1986

October, 1986 EVALUATION OF GALE BANKS ENGINEERING‘S ADD—ON TURBOCHARGER KIT MODEL NO. 6.9F FOR INSTALLATION IN FORD MOTOR COMPANY HEAVY—DUTY VEHICLES POWERED BY A 6.9 LITER NAVISTAR INTERNATIONAL 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.)

summaRry Gale Banks Enginsering (Banks) has requested an update to the exemption from the prohibitions in Vehicle Code Section 27156 for their add—on turbocharger kit Model No. 6.9F designed for Ford Motor Company heavy—duty vehicles which are powered by the Navistar International (formerly International Harvester) 6.9 liter heavy—duty diesel engine. The request is to include the 1987 model—year vehicle applications. This would make the exemption applicable to the 1983—1987 Ford Motor Company heavy—duty vehicles which are powered by the Navistar International 6.9 liter heavy—duty diesel engine. Based on the fact that Banks was previously granted exemption for the 1983—1986 model—years and that the 1987 certification documents show that the Navistar International engine family 6.9L0 was carried over from the 1982 model—year, the staff concludes that the Banks 6.9F turbocharger system will have the same degree of performance/emissions impact on the 1987 model—year engines as it has on the 1986 and earlier model—year engines. Therefore, the staff recommends that Banks be granted their request and that Executive Order D—161—2 be issued.

EVALUATION OF GALE BANKS ENGINEERING‘S ADD—ON TURBOCHARGER KIT MODEL NO. 6.9F FOR INSTALLATION IN FORD MOTOR COMPANY HEAVY—DUTY VEHICLES POWERED BY A 6.9 LITER NAVISTAR INTERNATIONAL HEAVY—DUTY DIESEL ENGINE I. INTROBUCTION 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. 6.9F for Ford Motor Company heavy—duty vehicles powered by the 6.9 liter Navistar International (formerly International Harvester) heavy—duty diesel engine. The request is to include the 1987 model—year vehicles. This would make the exemption applicable to the 1983—1987 Ford Motor Company heavy—duty vehicles powered by the Navistar International 6.9 liter heavy—duty diesel engines. Banks was granted an exemption for the 1983—1986 model—years under Executive Order D—161 on March 10, 1986. II. CONCLUSION Based on the submitted information, the comparative exhaust emissions tests performed on a 1985 Ford F—250 heavy—duty diesel truck and the 1987 certification documents which show that the Navistar International engine family 6.9LD was a carry—over from 1982, the staff concludes that the installation of the Banks turbocharger kit Model No. 6.9F will not adversely affect exhaust emissions from the 1987 vehicles for which the update has been requested. III. RECOMMENDATIONS The staff recommends that Banks be granted an update to include the 1987 model—year Ford Motor Company heavy—duty vehicles powered by the 6.9 lTiter Navistar International heavy—duty diesel engine and that Executive Order D—161—2 be issued.

IV. TURBOCHARGER KIT DESCRIPTION AND EVALUATION For details of the turbocharger kit description and evaluation, please refer to the February, 1986 staff report entitled, "EVALUATION OF GALE BANKS ENGINEERING‘S ADD—ON TURBOCHARGER KIT MODEL NO. 6.9F FOR INSTALLATION IN FORD MOTOR COMPANY HEAVY—DUTY VEHICLES POWERED BY A 6.9 LITER INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER HEAVY—DUTY DIESEL ENGINE". V. DISCUSS ION The previous evaluation of the Banks 6.9F turbocharger system showed that it did not cause an adverse emissions effect when installed on a 1985 Ford F—250 pick—up truck. Since the Navistar International 6.9L0 engine family has not been changed for the 1986 and 1987 model—years, no adverse emissions effect will occur when the Banks 6.9F turbocharger system is installed on the 1987 model—year vehicles. An update should be granted and Executive Order D—161—2 should be issued.
