HKS USA, INC. EXECUTIVE ORDER D—186—7 SPORT TURBO UPGRADE SYSTEM (Page 2 of 3) This Executive Order is granted based on results from emissions tests if conducted in accordance with Cold—Start CVS—75 Federal Test Procedure. However, the ARB finds that reasonable grounds exist to believe that use of the Sport Turbo Upgrade System may adversely affect emissions of motor vehicles when operating under conditions outside the parameters of the previously prescribed test procedures. Accordingly, the ARB reserves the right to conduct additional emission tests, in the future, as such tests are developed, that will more adequately measure emissions from all cycle phases. If such test results demonstrate that the Sport Turbo Upgrade System adversely affect emissions during off—cycle conditions (defined as those conditions which are beyond the parameters of the Cold—Start CVS—75 Federal Test Procedure}, this Executive Order shall be effectively rescinded as of the date the test results are validated. PFurther, if such test results or other evidence provides the ARB with reason to suspect that the Sport Turbo Upgrade System will affect the durability of the emission control system, HKS USA, Inc. shall be required to submit durability data to show that the durability of the vehicle emission control system is not, in fact, affected and/or that the add—on or modified part demonstrates adequate durability. In addition to the foregoing, the ARB reserves the right in the future to review this Executive Order and the exemption provided herein to assure that the exempted add—on or modified part continues to meet the standards and procedures of Title 13, California Code of Regulations, Section 2222, et seq.

The HKS Sport Turbo Upgrade System is designed for installation on the following vehicles: Model Year Make Model. Engine Size—Liter(CID) Part Number 1991—1992 Toyota MR2 Turbo 2.0 (122) 6045RC—11328P 1990—1992 Nissan 300 ZX Turbo 3.0 (183) 6045EC—24751P 1991—1992 Mitsubishi Eclipse 2.0 (122) 6045EC—4737 3N 1991—1992 Eagle Talon 2.0 (122) 6045EC—47373N 1991—1992 Plymouth Laser 2.0 (122) 6045EC—4737 3N 1991—1992 Mitsubishi Galant VR4 2.0 (122) 6045EC—47573P The Sport Turbo Upgrade System consists of a turbocharger unit and installation hardware. The kit operates in conjunction with the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) computer controlled electronic port fuel injection and emission control systems already certified with the stock engine. The tune—up specifications remain the same. The 300 ZX Sport Turbo Upgrade System replaces the stock Garrett Airesearch T—25 twin turbochargers with two Garrett Airesearch T—25 G twin turbochargers. Garrett manufactures all the rotating assemblies, turbine housing and wastegate swing valve while HKS manufactures the compressor housing for the modified turbocharger system. Appendix A illustrates the compressor housing and the turbocharger system. The modified turbochargers increase the

area ratios for the turbine and compressor from .58 to .64 and .42 to .80 respectively and increases the maximum boost from 8.5 psi to 14.3 psi. The MR2 Sport Turbo Upgrade System replaces the OEM turbocharger with a Mitsubishi turbocharger model number TDOSG. This turbocharger is built to HKS specifications and has a turbine inlet of 8 square centimeters. The Mitsubishi Eclipse, Eagle Talon, Plymouth Laser, and the Mitsubishi Galant VR4 Sport Turbo Upgrade System replaces each respective OEM turbochargers with a Mitsubishi turbocharger model number TDOSH. This turbocharger is built to HKS specifications and has a turbine inlet of 8 square centimeters. The Mitsubishi Galant VR4 Sport Turbo Upgrade System differs from the Eclipse/Talon/Laser Sport Turbo Upgrade System only in installation hardware. v. SPORT TURBO UPGRADE SYSTEM EVALUATION AND DISCUSSION HKS USA, Inc. previously tested the Sport Turbo Upgrade System on a 1990 Nissan 300 ZX Twin Turbo with a 3.0 liter fuel—injected gasoline engine as part of the HKS Performance Package P/N SR71XX—90000X.
