EVALUATION OF GALE BANKS ENGINEERING‘S RAPIDO TURBO 6.9 ADD—ON TURBOCHARGER KIT MODEL NO. 6.9FR FOR INSTALLATION IN FORD MOTOR COMPANY HEAVY—DUTY VEHICLES POWERED BY A 6.9 LITER NAVISTAR INTERNATIONAL HEAVY—DUTY DIESEL ENGINE I. INTRODUCTION Gale Banks Engineering (Banks) of 546 Duggan Avenue, Azusa, California 91702, has requested an exemption from the prohibifions of Vehicle Code Section 27156 for their Rapido Turbo 6.9 add—on turbocharger kit Model No. 6.9FR for Ford Motor Company heavy—duty vehicles powered by the 6.9 liter Navistar International (formerly International Harvester) heavy—duty diesel engine. The Rapido Turbo 6.9 add—on turbocharger kit Model NO. 6.9FR is manufactured by Banks Engineering exclusively for the Rapido Group. It is identical to the Banks add—on turbocharger kit Model No. 6.9F except for the logo embossed in the air cleaner housing lid and the logo printed on the turbocharger system identification label. In place of the "BANKS" logo is the "RAPIDO TURBO 6.9" logo. II. CONCLUSION Based on the fact that Banks was previously granted exemption for their Mode] No. 6.9F kit for use on 1983—1987 Ford heavy—duty vehicles which are powered by the Navistar International heavy—duty diesel engine under Executive Order D—161—2 and the only differences between the Model No. 6.9F and the Mode? No 6.9FR are cosmetic the staff concludes that the Model No. 6.9FR will have the same degree of performance/emissions impact as the Model No. 6.9F. III. RECOMMENDATIONS The staff recommends that Banks be granted their request and that Executive Order D—161—4 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. DISCUSSION 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 6.9LD 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 later model—year vehicles. Since the Model No. 6.9FR is functionally identical to the Model No. 6.9F no adverse emissions effect will occur when the Rapido Turbo 6.9 turbocharger system is installed on the 1983—1987 Ford heavy—duty diesel vehicles. An exemption should be granted and Executive Order D—161—4 should be issued.
