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.)

SUMMARY Gale Banks Engineering (Banks) has requested an update to the exemption from the prohibitions in Vehicle Code Section 27156 for their add—on turbocharger kit Model No. 6.26 designed for Chevrolet/6MC heavy—duty vehicles which are powered by the General Motors 6.2 liter heavy—duty diesel engine. The request is to include the 1987 model—year vehicle applications. This would make the exemption applicable to the 1982—1987 Chevrolet/GMC heavy—duty vehicles whifih are powered by the General Motors 6.2 liter heavy—duty diesel engine. Based on the fact that Banks was previously granted exemption for the 1982—1986 model—years and that the 1987 certification documents show that the General Motors engine family GMO6.2DAB was carried over from the 1986 model—year, the staff concludes that the Banks 6.2§ turbocharger system witl 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 an update and that Executive Order D—161—3 be issued.

EVALUATION OF GALE BANKS ENGINEERING‘S ADD—ON TURBOCHARGER KIT MODEL NO. 6.26 FOR INSTALLATION IN CHEVROLET/GMC HEAVY—DUTY VEHICLES POWERED BY A 6.2 LITER GENERAL MOTORS HEAVY—DUTY DIESEL ENGINE 1. INTRODUCTION 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. 6.26 for Chevrolet/GMC heavy—duty vehicles powered by the 6.2 liter General Motors heavy—duty diesel engine. The request is to include the 1987 model—year vehicles. This would make the exemption applicable to the 1982—1987 Chevrolet/ GMC heavy—duty vehicles powered by the General Motors 6.2 liter heavy—duty diesel engines. Banks was granted an exemption for the 1982—1986 model—year under Executive Order D—161—1 on May 4, 1986. II. CONCLUSION Based on the submitted information, the comparative exhaust emissions tests performed on a 1986 Chevrolet Suburban heavy—duty diesel truck, and the 1987 certification documents which show that the General Motors engine family GMO6.2DAB was a carry—over from 1986, the staff concludes that the installation of the Banks turbocharger kit Model No. 6.26 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 Chevrolet/GMC heavy—duty vehicles powered by the 6.2 liter General Motors heavy—duty diesel engine and that Executive Order D—161—3 be issued.

IV. TURBOCHARGER KIT DESCRIPTION AND EVALUATION For details of the turbocharger kit description and evaluation, please refer to the May, 1986 staff report entitled, "EVALUATION OF GALE BANKS ENGINEERING‘S ADD—ON TURBOCHARGER KIT MODEL NO. 6.2G FOR INSTALLATION IN CHEVROLET/GMC HEAVY—DUTY VEHICLES POWERED BY A 6.2 LITER GENERAL MOTORS HEAVY—DUTY DIESEL ENGINE®". VI. DISCUSSION The previous evaluation of the Banks 6.2G turbocharger system showed that it did not cause an adverse emissions effect when installed on a 1986 Chevrolet Suburban. Since the General Motors GMOG.2DAB engine family has not been changed for the 1987 model—year, no adverse emissions effect will occur when the Banks 6.2G turbocharger system is installed on the 1987 model—year vehicles. An update should be granted and Executive Order D—161—3 should be issued.
