SUMMARY Gale Banks Engineering (Banks) has requested an update to Executive Order D—161—6, which exempts their turbocharger kit mode! No. 6.9F for 1983— 1987 mode!—year Ford Motor Company heavy—duty vehicles poWered by a 6.9 liter Navistar International heavy—duty diese! engine. They have requested that the exemption be updated to include the 1988 model—year Ford Motor Company heavy—duty vehicles powered by a 7.3 liter Navistar International heavy—duty diese! engine. Based on the following: (1) the fact that the kit applicable to 1988 model—year 7.3 liter Navistar International heavy—duty diesel engine is identical to the exempted kit; (2) the fact that the 1988 7.3 liter Navistar International heavy—duty diese! engine is a replacement engine for the 1987 6.9 liter Navistar International heavy—duty diesel engine and that both engines have similar designs; (3) the test data from previous comparative exhaust emission tests performed for exempting the kit; and (4) that the engine design complies with the carryover criteria as outlined in EPA‘s Advisory Circulars 17F and 20B, the staff believes that the add—on turbocharger kit will have no adverse effect on the engines for which exemption update is requested. The staff recommends that Banks be granted an update as requested, and the Executive Order D—161—9 be Issued.

NTRODUCT LON Gale Banks Engineering (Banks) of 546 Duggan Avenue, Azusa, California 91702, has requested an update to the existing Air Resources Board Executive Order (E.0.) D—161—6 dated October 19, 1987. E.0. D—161—6 exempted the Banks‘ turbocharger kit mode! No. 6.9F from the prohlbitions in Vehicle Code Section 27156 for 1983—1987 model—year Ford Motor Company heavy—duty vehlgles powered by a 6.9 liter Navistar international heavy—duty diesel engine. The applicant has requested that the exemption be updated to include the 1988 model—year Ford Motor Company heavy—duty vehicles powered by a 7.3 liter Navistar international heavy—duty diese! engine. E1. CONCLUS ION Based on the following: (1) the fact that the kit applicable to 1988 model—year 7.3 liter Navistar International heavy—duty diese! engine is Identical to the exempted kit; (2) the fact that the 1988 7.3 liter Navistar international heavy—duty diesel engine is a replacement engine for the 1987 6.9 liter Navistar international heavy—duty diesel engine and that both engines have similar designs; (3) the test data from previous comparative exhaust émlssion tests performed for exempting the kit; and (45 that. the engine design complies with the carryover criteria as outlined in EPA‘s Advisory Circulars 17F and 208B, the staff believes that the add—on turbocharger kit will have no adverse effect on the engines for which exemption update is requested.

PL1. RECOMMENDAT I ON The staff recommends that Banks be granted an update as requested, and that Executive Order D—161—9 be issued. IV. TURBOCHARGER KIT DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION The purpose of the Banks turbocharger kit is to increase the power cutput of the engine by increasing its.volumetric efficiency. This is accomplished by compressing the intake charge to pressures above that of the atmosphere. The Increaged pressure allows a greater charge density to enter the combustion chamber providing more oxygen for combustion. The max imum fue! delivery is slightly increased in order to maintain proper air—fue! ratios with the increased air flow from the turbocharger when it is providing positive manifold pressure (boost). The major components of the kit include a 1.0 A/R ratio Rotomaster mode! No. TO4B or a Schwitzer/Banks Model! No. TO4B25 turbocharger, custom intake and exhaust tubing, air cleaner assembly, brackets, hoses and the hardware necessary to complete the instailation. Maximum positive manifold pressure is limited to 7 psi by the size of the turbine and the compressor. The maximum engine speed is regulated by the OEM fuel injection governor which is not modified by the installation of the kit. Therefore, by controlling maximum engine speed, maximum turbine speed and corresponding boost pressures are also controlled. No OEM emission controls are removed or disconnected when the turbocharger kit is installed. v. D1 ols Banks‘ add—on turbocharger kit modei No. 6.9F is designed for installation on 1983—1987 model—year Ford Motor Company vehicles powered by

a 6.9 liter Navistar International heavy—duty diesel engine. The exemption was granted'on the basis that the effectiveness of the vehicle‘s pollution control system was not reduced. Evaluation consisied of comparative (baseline versus turbocharged) steady state tests. The applicant is making available the add—on turbocharger kit mode! No. 6.9F for the 1988 model—year Ford Motor Company vehicles powered by a 7.3 liter Navistar International heavy—duty diesel engine. The applicant claims that no modifications to thé kit are needed in order to be compatible with the 1988 models. They have requested that the e*emption be updated to include these 1988 model—year vehicles. In response to the applicant‘s request, the staff compared the engine design of 1987 andg1988 model—year Ford Motor Company vehicles powered by a 6.9 or a 7.3 liter Navistar International heavy—duty diese! engine. Certification documents and correspondence from Navistar International to the ARB indicated that the 1988 model—year 7.3 liter engine is the replacement engine for the 1987 model—year 6.9 liter engine. The staff also noted that the engine designs of both 1987 and 1988 engines are similar. Because the data on a 1987 6.9 liter test vehicle showed that the emissions were not adversely affected when the turbocharger kit was instailed, and that the engine design complies with the carryover criteria as outiined in EPA‘s Advisory Circulars 17F and 20B, the add—on turbochrger kit wIll have no adverse effect on the 1988 moael—year Ford Motor Company heavy—duty vehicles powered by a 7.3 liter Navistar International heavy—duty diese! engine. No additional testing was required or performed for updating the exemption as requested.
