SUMMARY Paxton Products, Inc. (Paxton) of 929 Olympic Blvd., Santa Monica, California 90404, has applied for an update of the exemption, Executive Order DB—195—2, for their add—on supercharger kit model number SN—89, part number 10018 to include all 1986—1990 model—year Ford Motor Company passenger cars ipowered by a 302 CID (5.0L) electronic fuel injection (EFI) engine. Paxton had previously submitted data from comparative emission tests conducted on a 1989 Ford Mustang powered by a 302 CID EFI engine at Automated Custom Systems, Inc. Confirmatory tests were conducted on the same vehicle at the Air Resources Board‘s (ARB‘s) Haagen—Smit Laboratory. Based on the results from previous comparative emission tests performed by Automated Custom Systems, Inc. and confirmed by the ARB, the staff concluded that Paxton‘s add—on supercharger kit will not adversely affect exhaust emissions from vehicles for which exemption was requested. The staff recommends that Paxton be granted the update for their add—on supercharger kit model number SN—89, part number 10018, for installation on 1986—1990 model—year Ford Motor Company passenger cars powered by a 302 CID EFI engine, and that Executive Order D—195—3 be issued.

EVALUATION OF PAXTON PRODUCTS, INC‘S ADD—ON SUPERCHARGER KIT MODEL NO. SN—89, PART NO. 10018 FOR EXEMPTION FROM THE PROHIBITIONS IN VEHICLE CODE SECTION 27156 IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTIONS 2222, TITLE 13, OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OFf REGULATIONS 1. INTRODUCTION Paxton Products, Inc. (Paxton), of 929 Olympic Blvd., Santa Monica, California 90404, has applied for an update of the exemption for their add—on supercharger kit model number SN—89, part number 10018 to include all 1986— 1990 Ford Motor Company passenger cars powered by a 302 CID electronic fuel injection (EFI) engine. The existing exemption covers 1986—1990 Ford Mustangs only. The exemption update will include passenger cars belonging to the same engine family: LTD Crown Victoria, LTDO Crown Victory Wagon, Grand Marquis Wagon, Grand Marquis, Mustang, Mark VII, and Town Car as indicated in the Ford Motor Company vehicle certification. II. CONCLUSION Paxton has previously submitted data on comparative stock baseline versus supercharged emission tests conducted on a 1989 Ford Mustang powered By a 302 CID EFI engine at Automated Custom Systems, Inc. of Orange, California. Confirmatory tests were conducted on the same vehicle at the ARB‘s Haagen—Smit Laboratory in E1 Monte, California. Since the update will include only those vehicles belonging to the same engine family for which an exemption has been granted, no testing is required. Based on the comparative emission tests previously performed by Automated Custom Systems, Inc. and confirmed by the ARB the staff concluded that Paxton‘s add—on subercharger kit would not adversely affect exhaust emissions from vehicles for which the exemption was requested. III. RECOMMENDATIONS The staff recommends that Paxton be granted the update for their add—on supercharger kit model number SN—89, part number 10018 for installation on 1986—1990 Ford Motor Company passenger cars powered by a 302 CID EFI engine. The staff also recommends that Executive Order D—195—3 be issued.

IV. SUPERCHARGERKITDESCRIPTION The Paxton supercharger kit is specifically designed for installation on 1986—1990 Ford Motor Company passenger cars powered by a 302 CID EFI 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. The purpose of supercharging an engine is to increase the volumetric efficiency of the engine by forcing ‘more air into the engine than it would consume in normal aspirated, non— supercharged condition. This is accomplished by the addition of a centrifugal blower, Paxton Model No. SN—89, 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 or 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 the proper air/fuel ratio during boost conditions a fuel control unit is added. At boost, a positive pressure of about 1 psi induced by the supercharger causes an increase of the static pressure in the fuel return line beyond the maximum 34 psi of the OEM fue!l pressure regulator. The fuel control unit has a set static pressure of 70 psi. This condition causes an increase in air/fuel charge, while maintaining the proper air/fuel ratio. The blower is self lubricated by a piston—type oil pump. The oil sump has a capacity of 12 fluid ounces and uses type "F" automatic transmission fluid. All OEM emission Eontro?s are left intact.

V. SUPERCHARGER KIT EVALUATION A 1989 Ford Mustang powered by a 302 CID electronic port fuel injected engine was used for the evaluation of the supercharger kit. The dynamometer inertia weight and loading used during the testing were 3,625 Tbs. and 9.0 hp, respectively. Comparative emission tests conducted by Automated Custom Systems, Inc., and the ARB consisted of back—to—back cold—start CYS—75 emission tests. Additionally, comparative Highway Fuel Economy Tests {HFET) were conducted by the Automated Custom Systems, Inc. and the ARB. TheséAtests were used to determine exhaust emissions and fuel economy in the unmodified and supercharged configurations for comparison. The test results are shown below: Table 1 Exhaust Emissions Test Results from Automated Custom Systems, Inc.

VI. DISCUSSION The results of the exhaust emission tests submitted by Paxton show a decrease in emissions of Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) and an increase of Hydrocarbon (HC), due to the installation of the supercharger kit. The confirmatory testing conducted by the ARB yielded less increase in HC and more decrease in CO and NOx. However, the increase in HC is within the 10% maximum which is allowed by Vehicle Code Section 27156 exemption criteria. The tests results have shown that the Paxton supercharger model number SN—89, part number 10018, did not reduce the effectiveness of the emissions control sysfems of the vehicle. Thus, Paxton has fulfilled the requirements for the exemption and was issued the Executive Order D—195—2. Since the Paxton supercharger will be installed only on vehicles of the same engine family concerned under an existing exemption, the request for an update should be granted and Executive Order D—195—3 issued to include all 1986—1990 Ford Motor Company passenger cars powered by a 302 CID EFI engine.
