EVALUATION OF THE TURBO SHOP, INC.‘S ADD—ON TURBOCHARGER KIT FOR EXEMPTION FROM THE PROHIBITIONS IN VEKICLE CODE SECTION 27156 IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 2222, TITLE 13, OF THE CALIFORNIA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE. 1. INTRODUCTION The Turbo Shop, Inc. {Turbo Shop) of 940 West Manchester, Inglewood, CA 90301, has applied for an update to Executive Order D—180—3, which exempts their turbocharger kit model 6.9L/7.3L from the prohibitions in Vehicle Code Section 27156. The exemption applies to 1983—1987 model year Ford Motor Company vehicles powered by a 6.9L Navistar International heavy— duty diesel engine and 1988—1990 model year Ford Motor Company vehicles powered by a 7.3L Navistar International heavy—duty diesel engine. The update is requested to include the 1991 model year Ford Motor Company vehicles powered by a 7.3L Navistar International heavy—duty diesel engine. II. CONCLUSTON Because Turbo Shop was granted an exemption for the 1988—1990 model year 7.3L Navistar International heavy—duty diesel engines and the 1991 model year 7.3L heavy—duty diesel engine is a carry—over from the previous model years, the staff concludes that Turbo Shop‘s add—on turbocharger kit model 6.9L/7.3L will not adversely affect exhaust emissions from vehicles for which the exemption update is requested. III. co DATIONS The staff recommends that The Turbo Shop be granted an update as requested and that Executive Order D—180—7 be issued. IV. URBOCHARGER KIT DESCRIPTION The purpose of the Turbo Shop turbocharger system is to increase the power output of the engine by compressing the intake charge with pressures above that of the atmosphere. The increase in pressure allows a greater

charge density to enter the combustion chamber causing an increase in the volumetric efficiency of the engine. The maximum fuel delivery is slightly increased (1/4 of a turn) in order to maintain proper air—fuel ratios when the turbocharger is providing a positive manifold pressure (boost). The maximum positive manifold pressure is limited to 10 psig by the size of the turbine and the compressor. The maximum engine speed is regulated by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) fuel injection governor. Therefore, by controlling maximum engine speed, maximum turbine speed and the corresponding boost pressure are also controlled. Turbo Shop offers the following six turbochargers, with 1.0 area ratio {A/R), with their kit: 1. Rajay model E—FLOW; 2. Schwitzer model T04B25; 3. Roto—Master model R—11; Roto—Master mode] V—2; m Roto—Master model S—4; g AiResearch model H—3. o_ The major components of the system include a turbocharger, custom intake adapters, 3" diameter exhaust pipe, air cleaner assembly, brackets, hoses and the hardware necessary to complete the installation. Modification to the OEM emission related parts due to the installation of the turbocharger kit includes replacement of the air cleaner assembly and replacement of the OEM exhaust system with a 3" diameter exhaust system. The positive crankcase ventilation (PCY) valve is relocated to allow for the turbocharger kit installation. No other OEM emission control components are removed, disconnected or relocated when the turbocharger kit is installed.

v. DISCUSSION Turbo Shop‘s add—on turbocharger kit model 6.9L/7.3L is designed for instaliation on 1983—1987 model year Ford Motor Company vehicles powered by a 6.9L Navistar International heavy—duty diesel engine and 1988—1991 mode!l year Ford Motor Company vehicles powered by a 7.3L Navistar International heavy—duty diesel engine. The applicant claims that no modifications to the kit is necessary for the installation of 1991 model year applicable vehicles. Certification documents show that the 1991 model year 7.3L Navistar International diesel engine is carried over from the previous mode] years. Based on these considerations the staff concludes that no additional testing is required.
