The Tiico Engine Conversion includes the following main components: a South African rebuilt engine equivalent to a California certified 1991 Audi 80/90 2.0 liter 4—cylinder engine with a Golf/Jetta intake manifold (p/n 037 133 201AP) to allow room for installation in the Vanagon engine compartment. The ECU utilized is a stock California 1991 Audi 80/90 unit (p/n 893 907 404). The Tiico Engine Conversion must interface with the stock VW Vanagon evaporative emission control system. A closed element air cleaneris supplied, and brackets and hardware necessary for installation of the engine are included. The original VW Vanagon catalytic converter and heated oxygen sensor are retained. On VW Vanagons not equipped with a check engine light on the dash, a light must be installed and wired to the new ECU. This Executive Order is valid provided that the installation instructions for the Tiico Engine Conversion will not recommend tuning the vehicle to specifications different from those submitted by the device manufacturer. Changes made to the design or operating conditions of the Tiico Engine Conversion, as exempt by the Air Resources Board, which adversely affect the performance of the vehicle‘s pollution control system shall invalidate this Executive Order. Marketing of the Tii Trading Co. Tiico Engine Conversion using any identification other than that shown in this Executive Order or marketing of the Tiico Engine Conversion for an application other than those listed in this Executive Order shall be prohibited unless prior approval is obtained from the Air Resources Board.

7. This Executive Order does not constitute any opinion as to the effect the use of the Tiico Engine Conversions may have on any warranty either expressed or implied by the vehicle manufacturer. This Executive Order is granted based on previously submitted test data which showed that installation of the Tiico Engine Conversion on 1983 through 1991 model year VW Vanagon will have no adverse effect on emissions (Executive Order D—573). If evidence provides the ARB with reason to suspect that the Tiico Engine Conversion will affect the durability of emission control systems, Tii Trading Co. shall be required to submit durability data to show that the durability of vehicle emission control systems are not, in fact, affected and/or that the add—on or modified part demonstrates adequate durability. ~ 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. ‘ THIS EXECUTIVE ORDER DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A CERTIFICATION, ACCREDITATION, APPROVAL, OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF ENDORSEMENT BY THE AIR RESOURCES BOARD OF ANY CLAIMS OF THE APPLICANT CONCERNING ANTI—POLLUTION BENEFITS OR ANY ALLEGED BENEFITS OF T TRADING CO—S > THCO ENGINE CONVERSION.
