EVALUATION OF PAXTON PRODUCTS, INC.‘S ADD—ON SUPERCHARGER KIT MODEL NO. 10019 FOR EXEMPTION FROM THE PROHIBITIONS OF VEKICLE CODE SECTION 27156 IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 2222, TITLE 13, OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS 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.)

SUMMARY Paxton Products, Inc. (Paxton) has requested for an exemption from the prohibitions of Vehicle Code Section 27156 for their add—on supercharger kit model number 10019. The supercharger kit is intended for installation on 1986— 1989 Ford Motor Company Bronco and F—150 vehicles powered by a 302 or a 351 CID engine. Paxton has submitted data from comparative emission tests conducted on a 1988 Ford Bronco powered by a 351 CID engine at Automated Custom Systems, Inc. Confirmatory tests were conducted on the same vehicle at the Air Resources Board (ARB) laboratory. Based on the results from the comparative emission tests performed by Paxton and by the ARB, the staff concludes that Paxton‘s add—on supercharger kit will not adversely affect exhaust emissions from vehicles for which exemption is requested. The staff recommends that Paxton be granted an exemption for their add— on supercharger kit model number 10019 for installation on 1986—1989 Ford Motor Company Bronco and F—150 vehicles powered by a 302 or a 351 CID engine, and that Executive Order D—195 be issued.

EVALUATION OF PAXTON PRODUCTS, INC‘S ADD—ON SUPERCHARGER KIT NO. 10019 FOR EXEMPTION FROM THE PROHIBITIONS IN VEHICLE CODE SECTION 27156 IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTIONS 2222, TITLE 13, OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS I. INTRODUCTION Paxton Products, Inc. (Paxton), of 929 Olympic Blvd., Santa Monica, California 90404, has requested for an exemption from the prohibitions of Vehicle Code Section 27156 for their add—on supercharger kit model number 10019. The supercharger kit is intended for installation on 1986—1989 Ford Motor Company Bronco and F—150 vehicles powered by a 302 or a 351 CID engine. Paxton has submitted data from comparative (stock baseline versus‘ supercharged) emission tests conducted on a 1988 Ford Bronco powered by a 351 CID engine at Automated Custom Systems, Inc. of Orange California and Emission System Engineering of Huntington Beach, California. Confirmatory tests were conducted on the same vehicle at the Air Resources Board (ARB) laboratory in E1 Monte, California. II. CONCLUSION Based on the results from comparative emission tests performed by Paxton at Emission System Engineering and from the confirmatory tests performed by the ARB on a 1988 Ford Bronco, the staff concludes that Paxton‘s add—on supercharger kit will not adversely affect exhaust emissions from vehicles for which the exemption is requested. III. RECOMMENDATIONS The staff recommends that Paxton be granted an exemption for their add— ofi supercharger kit model number 10019 for installation on 1986—1989 Ford Motor Company Bronco and F—150 vehicles powered by a 302 or a 351 CID engine. The staff also recommends that Executive Order D—195 be issued.

IV. SUPERCHARGERKITDESCRIPTIONANDOPERATION The Paxton supercharger kit is specifically designed for installation on 1986—1989 Ford Motor Company Bronco and F—150 vehicles powered by a 302 or a 351 CID engine. 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. All the hecessary hardware and supplies for installing the supercharger are included in the kit. The purpose of supercharging an engine is to increase the volumetric efficiency of an engine by forcing more air into an engine than it would consume naturally aspiratea (non—supercharged condition). This is accomplished by the addition of a centrifugal blower (Paxton P/N SN—60) that is belt driven at 1.5 times the speed of the engine. Intake air is delivered from the OEM air filtering system to the centrifugal blower. It is then compressed by the supercharger and routed to the throttle body of the electronic fuel injection system. Maximum positive manifold pressure (boost) is limited to 5 psig by the blower scroll housing and the impeller design. No wastegate or other active boost limiting device is used,. To provide additional fuel to maintain proper air/fuel ratios during boost conditions a fuel control unit is added. The fuel control unit when placed in series with the OEM fuel pressure regulator in the fuel return line will increase the fuel pressure, and fuel delivery, under boost conditions. The unit is activated by a solenoid valve that is turned "on" and "off" via a pressure switch set at 0.95 psi based on the inlet manifold pressure. The fuel control unit has a static set pressure of 70 psi. Maximum static pressure of the OEM fuel pressure regulator is about 34 psi.

The biower is self lubricated by a piston—type oil pump. The oil sump has a capacity of 10 fluid ounces and uses type "A" automatic transmission fluid. All OEM emission controls are left intact. V. SUPERCHARGERKTTEVALUATION A 1988 Ford Bronce powered by a 351 CID engine electronic port fuel {njected engine was used for the evaluation of the supercharger kit. The dynamometer inertia weight and loading used during the testing was 5,250 lbs. and 15.6 hp, respectively. Comparative emission tests conducted by Automated Custom systems, Inc., Emission System Engineering and the ARB consisted of back—to—back cold—start CVS—75 emission tests. Additionally, the ARB conducted comparative Highway Fuel Economy (HFET) tests. These tests were used to determine exhaust emissions and fuel economy in the unmodified and supercharged configurations for comparison. A summary of the test results is provided in the appendix. VI. DISCUSSION The results of the exhaust emission tests submitted by Paxton show no significant increase in emissions due to the installation of the supercharger kit (Table 1 of appendix). However, the initial confirmatory tests performed on the same test vehicle at the ARB facility showed that hydrocarbons (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) significantly increased after the installation of the supercharger kit (Table 2 of appendix). In order to reduce excess emissions to an acceptable level, Paxton replaced the fuel control unit supplied with the supercharger kit. The differences between the original fuel control unit and the replacement unit are: 1) the replacement unit contains an electronic circuitry which richens the air/fue! charge during fast accelerations; and 2) the replacement unit —3—

contains a single diaphragm rather than two diaphragms of the original unit. Paxton feels that the replacement unit will reduce any excess emissions to an acceptable level. A series of comparative exhaust emission tests were performed by Paxton at Emission System Enginsering and by the ARB. The replacement fuel control unit was used during the device tests. The results of the exhaust emission fests submitted by Paxton\(Table 3 of appendix) and of those performed by the ARB (Table 4 of appendix) show no significant increase in emissions due to the installation of the supercharger kit. Paxton has fulfilled the requirements for the exemption and, therefore, Executive Order D—195 should by issued. —4..
