venee o imc lmtTho1s,or me EVALUATION OF SCHAUMBURG AUDI‘S CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS I. INTRODUCTION Schaumburg Audi of 3709 Lindenwood Lane, Glenview, Illincis 60025, has applied for an éxemption from the prohibitions in Section 27156 of the California Vehicle Code (VC) for their PTB Throttle Body. The PTB Throttle Body is designed for installation on 1990 to 1994 Audis equipped with a 2.8L V6 gasoline engine. Schaumburg Audi submitted a completed application and other required information, as well as emissions test data performed at the AutoResearch Laboratories, Incorporated in Harvey, Illinois which shows that their PTB Throttle Body does not have any adverse effect on emissions. II. CONCLUSIONS Based on the submitted information, the staff concludes that the PTB Throttle Body will not adversely affect exhaust emissions from vehicles for which an exemption is requested. III. RECOMMENDATION The staff recommends that Schaumburg Audi be granted an exemption for their PTB Throttle Body for installation on 1990 to 1994 Audis equipped with a 2.8L V6 gasoline engine. The staff also recommends that Executive Order D—367 be issued. IV. PTB THROTTLE BODY DESCRIPTION The PTB Throttle Body is specifically designed for installation on 1990 to 1994 Audis equipped with a 2.8L V6 gasoline engine. The throttle body operates in conjunction with the original equipment manufacturer‘s (OEM) computer controlled fuel injection system already certified with the stock —1—

engine. The purpose of using the PTB Throttle Body is to enhance performance at part throttle operation. This is accomplished by machining the primary barre1 to remove excess metal before the throttle plate. This changes the primary diameter from 0.94" to 1.37". No changes are made to the stock tune—up specifications, and Schaumburg Audi does not recommend the use of high octane fuel when using their product. Schaumburg Audi has not authorized any other dealer or manufacturer to conduct its porting and polishing of the OEM throttle body. v. DISCUSSION OF THE PTB THROTTLE BODY Schaumburg Audi has requested that the PTB Throttle Body be exempted for 1990 to 1994 Audis equipped with a 2.8L V6 engine. A 1994 Audi 100$ equipped with the PTB Throttle Body was used as the test vehicle. Schaumburg Audi performed testing at AutoResearch Laboratories, Incorporated (ALI) in Harvey, Illinois to be compared against the vehicle‘s emission standards. The results of the exhaust emissions test performed at ALI are shown in Table 1. Table 1 CVS—75 TEST RESULTS NMHC co NQOx (grams/mile) Device 0.16 1.13 0.13 Standards 0.25 3.4 0.4 Deterior;tion factor (D.F.) 1.076 1.029 1.02 D.F. adjusted 0.17 1.16 0.133

The CVS—75 emissions test results at ALI indicate that the HC, CO and NOx emissions of the vehicle, with the PTB Throttle Body installed, are below the emission standards set for that engine family. The Air Resources Board did not conduct confirmatory testing to validate the emission test results submitted by Schaumburg Audi. Schaumburg Audi submitted all of the required information and fulfilled the requirements for an exemption. The test results show that the PTB Throttle Body meets the requirements for exemption.
