SUMMARY The Turbo Shop has applied for exemption from the prohibitions in Vehicle Code Section 27156 for their add—on intercooler kit for 1983—1987 Ford Motor Company vehicles powered by the Navistar International 6.9L heavy—duty diesel engine and 1988—1989 model—year Ford Motor Company vehicles powered by a 7.3L Navistar International heavy—duty diesel engine. The Turbo Shop has submitted a completed application and all the necessary information for exemption. Based on previous comparative tests evaluating the exhaust emissions effects of several add—on intercooler systems and the staff‘s evaluation of the intercooler‘s impact on exhaust emissions from turbocharged vehicles, the staff concludes that The Turbo Shop‘s intercooler system will not adversely affect exhaust emissions from vehicles for which exemption is requested. The staff recommends that The Turbo Shop be granted an exemption for their add—on air—to—air intercooler system as requested and that Executive Order D—180—2 be issued.

EVALUATION OF THE TURBO SHOP ADD—ON AIR—TO—AIR INTERCOOLER KIT FOR INSTALLATION IN 1983—1987 MODEL—YEAR FORD MOTOR COMPANY VEKHICLES POWERED BY A 6.9L NAVISTAR INTERNATIONAL HEAVY—DUTY DIESEL ENGINE AND 1988—1989 MODEL—YEAR FORD MOTOR COMPANY VEHICLES POWERED BY A 7.3L NAVISTAR INTERNATIONAL HEAVY—DUTY DIESEL ENGINE I. INTRODUCTION . The Turbo Shop of 940 West Manchester, Inglewood, California 90301, has applied for exemption from the prohibitions in Vehicle Code Section 27156 for their add—on air—to air intercooler kit for 1983—1987 Ford Motor Company vehicles powered by the Navistar Inte;national 6.9L heavy—duty diesel engine and 1988—1989 model—year Ford Motor Company vehicles powered by a 7.3L Navistar International heavy—duty diesel engine. II. CONCLUSICN Based on previous comparative tests evaluating the exhaust emission§ effects of several add—on intercooler systems and the staff‘s evaluation of the intercooler‘s impact on exhaust emissions from turbocharged vehicles, the staff concludes that The Turbo Shop‘s intercooler system will not adversely affect exhaust emissions from vehicles for which exemption is requested. I11. RECO! DATIONS The staff recommends that The Turbo Shop be granted an exemption for their add—on air—to—air intercooler system as requested and that Executive Order D—180—2 be issued. IV. LER KIT DES kI N The purpose of The Turbo Shop intercoolr system is to reduce the temperature of the intake air charge into the turbocharged engine. This reduction in the intake charge temperature allows a greater charge density {more mass of air flowing through the engine) to enter the combustion

chamber which means more fuel into the engine at any given intake manifold pressure and, therefore, more power output of the engine. Also, the reduction in the intake charge temperature would result in lower combustion/exhaust temperature. The major components of the air—to—air intercooler system include a heat exchanger and inter—connecting bent tubes. The compressed air from the turbocharger enters the heat exchanger which uses ambient air as a cooling medium. The air—to—air heat exchanger is located in such a way that the heated charge air flows through one section and ambient air flows through the other section, cooling the heated compressed charge air. The cooled compressed air is then passed out of the heat exchanger to the throttle(s) for induction into the engine. There will be a pressure drop when the air passes through the heat exchanger which varies depending on the size of the — heat exchanger, the temperature of the cooling medium (ambient air) and the available flow rate of the cooling medium. The inlet and outlet pipes of The Turbo Shop‘s air—to—air intercooler system are made from 2—1/4" and 2—1/2" steel tubing, respectively. The length of the tubing varies according to the model—year of the engine. Installation instructions, included in every kit, show how to properly install The Turbo Shop‘s air—to—air intercooler system {see Appendix}. IV. DISCUSSION The Turbo Shop‘s add—on air—to—air intercooler is designed for installation on 1983—1987 model—year Ford Motor Company vehicles powered by a 6.9L Navistar International heavy—duty diesel engine and 1988—1989 mode!—

year Ford Motor Company vehicles powered by a 7.3L Navistar International heavy—duty diesel engine. According to the performance analysis previously submitted by other manufactures seeking exemption, the thermal efficiency of the intercooler system ranges between 40% and 84%. Based on predicted efficiency of a heat exchanger and a review of the intercooler system, the staff believes that The Turbo Shop‘s add—on air— to—air intercooler kit will not adversely affect a turbocharged vehicle‘s emissions or degrade a vehicle‘s driveability.
