       Kenne Bell Performance Products,   of 10743 Bell Court,   Rancho Cucamonga,

CA 91730 has applied for an exemption from the prohibitions in Section 27156 of

the California Vehicle Code (VC) for the Kenne Bell TS1000 Twin Screw

Supercharger Kit.    The supercharger kit is designed for installation on 1986—

1993 model—year Ford Mustangs and 1986 model year Mercury Capris equipped with

5.0 liter engines.

       Based on the results from emission tests performed by Milton Roy

Company of Orange, California, and confirmatory tests at the Haagen—Smit

Laboratory on a 1990 Ford Mustang GT, the staff concludes that Kenne Bell

TS1000 Twin Screw Supercharger Kit will not adversely affect exhaust emission

from vehicles for which an exemption is requested.

       The staff recommends that Kenne Bell Performance Products be granted an

exemption as requested and that Executive Order D—271—1 be issued.

 1.      INTRODUCTION

         Kenne Bell Performance Products of 10743 Bell Court,   Rancho Cucamonga,

. California 91730 has applied for an exemption from the prohibitions in Section

 27156 of the California Vehicle Code for the Kenne Bell TS1000 Twin Screw

 Supercharger Kit.    The supercharger kit is designed for installation on 1986—

 1993 model—year Ford Mustangs and 1986 Mercury Capris equipped with 5.0 liter

 engines.

         Kenne Bell Performance Products has submitted data from testing on a

 1990 Ford Mustang GT at Milton Roy qampany, Orange,   California.   In additiofl,

 the Air Resources Board (ARB) conducted a confirmatory test at the Haagen—Smit

 Laboratory.




 II.     ConcLuston
         Based on the results from emission test performed at Milton Roy Company

 and the confirmatory test by the ARB on a 1990 Ford Mustang GT, the staff

 concludes that Kenne Bell TS1000 Twin Screw Supercharger Kit will not adversely

 affect exhaust emissions from vehicles for which an exemption is requested.




 III.    RECOMMENDATIONS

         The staff recommends that Kenne Bell Performance Products be granted an

exemption for their TS1000 Twin Screw Supercharger Kit for installation on


1986—1993 model—year Ford Mustangs and 1986 model year Mercury Capris equipped

with 5.0 Liter engine.   The staff also recommends that Executive Order D—271—1

be issued.



IV.    DEVICE DESCRIPTION

       The Kenne Bell TS1000 Twin Screw Supercharger Kit is designed for

installation on 1986—1993 model—year Ford Mustangs and 1986 model year

Mercury Capris equipped with 5.0 Liter engines.   The supercharger kit is

comprised of an Autorotor 3—133 supercharger, a fuel system booster, and other

hardware and plumbing necessary to install the kit.   The supercharger kit

operates in conjunction with the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) computer

controlled fuel injection and the emission control system already certified

with the stock engine.

       The purpose of supercharging an engine is to increase its volumetric

efficiency and power output at particular engine loads and throttle openings.

At light engine loads and small throttle openings, the engine manifold pressure

and power output is the same as a normally aspirated engine.    At heavy engine

loads and increased throttle openings, the manifold pressure is increased by

the supercharger allowing more air and fuel to enter the engine, resulting in

higher power output.

       The Autorotor 3—133 supercharger is a positive displacement (1.33L/rev)

twin screw rotor air compressor powered by a crankshaft driven serpentine belt.

The compressor operates with the rotation of two rotors,   a "female" rotor and a


"male" rotor.     The "male rotor is driven, using internal gearing, at 1.5 times

the speed of the     "female" rotor.   The maximum volume of air is determined by

selecting the proper ratio between the supercharger pulley and the crankshaft

pulley.     The Kenne Bell TS1000 Supercharger is available with two sizes of

supercharger drive pulleys.     One kit is offered with a 2.18" diameter pulley

which drives the "female" rotor at a speed 2.67 times the speed of the

crankshaft pulley.     This allows for a maximum boost of 5 p.s.i.    The kit is

also available with a 2.0" pulley, which drives the "female" rotor at a speed

2.92 times the speed of the crankshaft.;    This kit provides an 8 p.s.i. maximum

boost.     For either kit, the OEM air cleaner assembly and air intake location

are used.     The OEM mass air flow meter is used,   and the fuel delivery and spark

timing are controlled by the OEM computer.

          To maintain the correct air/fuel ratio during boost conditions,

additional fuel is supplied by increasing the fuel pressure.       This is

accomplished by supplying an additional fuel system booster, which is enabled

only during boost conditions.     This is accomplished by biasing the fuel booster

with manifold pressure.     Installation of Kenne Bell TS1000 Twin Screw

Supercharger Kit does not alter the OEM location of the oxygen sensor or the

catalyst.     The tune—up specifications also remain the same.




v.        SUPERCHARCGER KIT SYSTEM EVALUATION AND DISCUSSION

          A 1990 Ford Mustang GT Convertible equipped with a 5.0 liter (302 CID)

fuel injected gasoline engine was used for the evaluation of the TS1000

supercharger kit.     The dynamometer inertia weight and loading were 3625—lbs and

9.8—hp respectively.


       Emission tests conducted by Milton Roy Company for Kenne Bell

Performance Products consisted of one Cold—Start CVS—75 emission test in the

baseline configuration and one Cold—Start CVS—75 emission test with the Kenne

Bell TS1000 8 p.s.i. supercharger kit installed.         Confirmatory tests were

performed by the ARB following the same test sequence.        A summary of the test

results is shown below:

       Results from the emission tests conducted at Milton Roy Company and the

Haagen—Smit Laboratory show the vehicle emissions with the Kenne Bell TS1000

Twin Screw Supercharger Kit installed are not increased when compared to the

baseline tests.   Based on these test results, the staff concludes that the

installation of the Kenne Bell TS1000 Twin Screw Supercharger Kit did not have

an adverse effect on exhaust emissions of the affected vehicles.          Kenne Bell

Performance Products has submitted all the required information and fulfilled

the requirements for exemption.
