(Page 1 of 2) State of California <<— — AIR RESOURCES BOARD EXECUTIVE ORDER D—180—5 Relating to Exemptions Under Section 27156 of the Yehicle Code THE TURBO SHOP, INC. AIR—TO—AIR INTERCOOLER KIT Pursuant to the authority vested in the Air Resources Board by Section 27156 of the Yehicle Code; and Pursuant to the authority vested in the undersigned by Sections 39515 and 39516 of the Health and Safety Code and Executive Order G—45—5; IT IS ORDERED AND RESOLYED: That the installation of the add—on air—to—air intercooler kit manufactured by The Turbo Shop, Inc. has been found not to reduce the effectiveness of required motor vehicle pollution control devices and, therefore, is exempt from the prohibitions of Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code for 1989—1990 Dodge vehicles powered by a 5.9L Cummins 681 heavy—duty diesel engine. This Executive Order is valid provided that installation instructions for this air—to—air intercooler kit will not recommend tuning the vehicle to specifications different from those submitted by the device manufacturer. Changes made to the design or operating conditions of the air—to—air intercooler kit, as exempted by the Air Resources Board, that adversely affect the performance of a vehicle‘s pollution control system shall invalidate this Executive Order. Marketing of this device using an identification other than that shown in this Executive Order or marketing of this device for an application other than those listed in this Executive Order shall be prohibited unless prior approval is obtained from the Air Resources Board. Exemption of a kit shall not be construed as an exemption to sell, offer for sale, or advertise any component of a kit as an individual device. This Executive Order does not constitute any opinion as to the effect the use of this device may have on any warranty e!ther expressed or implied by the vehicle manufacturer. THIS EXECUTIVE ORDER DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A CERTIFICATICN, ACCREDITATION, APPROVAL, OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF ENDORSEMENT BY THE AIR RESOURCES BOARD OF ANY CLAIMS GF THE APPLICANT CONCERNING ANTI—POLLUTION BENEFITS OR ANY ALLEGED BENEFITS OF THE TURBO SHOP!‘S AIR—TO—AIR INTERCOOLER KIT. No claim of any kind, such as "Approved by the Air Resources Board" may be made with respect to the action taken hersin in any advertising or other oral or written communication.

THE TURBO SHOP, INC. EXECUTIVE ORDER D—180—5 (Page 2 of 2) o— Section 17500 of the Business and Professions Code makes untrue or misleading advertising unlawful, and Section 17534 makes violation punishable as a misdemeanor. Section 43644 of the Health and Safety Code provides as follows: "43644. (a) No person shall install, sell, offer for sale, or advertise, or, except in an application to the state board for certification of a device, represent, any device as a motor vehicle pollution control device for use on any used motor vehicle unless that device has been certified by the state board. No person shall sell, offer for sale, advertise, or represent any motor vehicle pollution control device as a certified device which, in fact, is not a certified device. Any violation of this subdivision is a misdemeanor." Any apparent violation of the conditions of this Executive Order will be submitted to the Attorney General of California for such action as he deems advisable.

July, 1990 EVALUATIGN OF THE TURBO SHOP INC.‘S ADD—ON AIR—TO—AIR INTERCOOLER KIT FOR EXEMPTION FROM THE PROHIBITIONS IN VEHICLE CODE SECTION 27156 IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 2222, TITLE 13, OF THE CALIFORNIA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE. 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.)

State of California AIR RESOURCES BOARD EVALUATION OF THE TURBO SHOP INC.‘S ADD—ON AIR—TO—AIR INTERCOOLER KIT FOR EXEMPTION FROM THE PROHIBITIONS IN VEHICLE CODE SECTION 27156 IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 2222, TITLE 13, OF THE CALIFORNIA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE. July, 1990

SUMMARY The Turbo Shop, Inc. (Turbo Shop)} has requested an exemption from the prohibitions in Vehicle Code Section 27156 for their add—on air—to—air intercooler kit for use on 1989—1990 Dodge vehicles powered by a 5.9L — Cummins 68T heavy—duty diesel engine. Based on previous comparative tests evaluating the exhaust emission effects of several add—on intercooler kits and the staff‘s engineering evaluation of the intercooler‘s impact on exhaust emissions from turbocharged vehicles, the staff concludes that The Turbo Shop‘s air—to—air intercooler kit will not adversely affect exhaust emissions from vehicles for which the exemption is requested. The staff recommends the The Turbo Shop, Inc. be granted an exemption for their air—to—air intercooler kit as requested and that Executive Order D—180—5 be issued.

EVALUATION OF THE TURBO SHOP, INC.‘S ADD—ON AIR—TO—AIR INTERCOOLER KIT FOR EXEMPTION FROM THE PROHIBITIONS IN VEHICLE CODE SECTION 27156 IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 2222, TITLE 13, OF THE CALIFORNIA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE. I. NTROBUCTTION The Turbo Shop, Inc. {Turbo Shop) of 940 West Manchester, Inglewood, CA 90301, has requested an exemption from the prohibitions in Vehicle Code Section 27156 for their air—to—air intercooler kit for use on 1989—1990 Dodge vehicles powered by a 5.9L Cummins 6BT heavy—duty diesel engine. II. CONCLUSION Based on previous comparative tests evaluating the exhaust emission effects of different add—on intercooler kits and the staff‘s engineering evaluation of the intercooler‘s impact on exhaust emissions from turbocharged vehicles, the staff concludes that The Turbo Shop‘s air—to—air intercooler kit will not adversely affect exhaust emissions from vehicles for which the exemption is requested. III. RECOMMENDATIONS The staff recommends that The Turbo Shop be granted an exemption for their air—to—air intercooler kit as requested and that Executive Order D—180—5 be issued. IV. CQLER K ESCR 0 The purpose of the Turbo Shop intercooler system is to reduce the temperature of the intake air that is charged into the turbocharged engine.

A reduction in the intake air temperature allows a greater charge density (more mass of air flowing through the engine) to enter the combustion chamber. This means more fuel into the engine at any given manifold préssure and, therefore, more power output of the engine. Also, the reduction in the intake charge temperature results in lower combustion/exhaust temperature. The major components of the system include an air—to—air heat exchanger and inter—connecting bent tubes. The compressed air from the turbocharger enters through one section of the heat exchanger and ambient air, as a cooling medium, flows through the other section, cooling the heated compressed charge air. The cooled compressed air then passes out of the heat exchanger to the throttle(s) for induction to the engine. A pressure drop occurs when the compressed 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 ifitercooler system are made from steel tubing. The length of the tubing varies according to the model—year of the engine. No emission control components are removed, disconnected or relocated when the air—to—air intercooler kit is installed. V. DISCUSSION Turbo Shop‘s add—on air—to—air intercooler kit is designed for installation on 1989—1990 model year Dodge vehicles powered by a 5.9L Cummins 6BT heavy—duty diesel engine. According to performance analysis previously submitted by other manufacturers seeking exemption, the thermal efficiency of the intercooler system ranges between 40% to 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.
