STATE OF CALIFORNIA AIR RESOURCES BOARD EVALUATION OF THE BAE TURBOCHARGER KIT NO. 32—0000—1 FOR EXEMPTION FROM THE PROHIBITIONS IN VEHICLE CODE SECTION 27156 IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 2222, TITLE 13 OF THE CALIFORNIA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE May 9, 1983

May 9, 1983 EVALUATION OF THE BAE TURBOCHARGER KIT NO. 32—0000—1 FOR EXEMPTION FROM THE PROHIBITIONS IN VEHICLE CODE SECTION 27156 IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 2222, TITLE 13 OF THE CALIFORNIA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE by 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 BAE Turbosystems of 3032 Kashiwa Street, Torrance, CA 90505, has requested an update to the existing Air Resources Board‘s Executive Order (E.0.) No. D—97—11. The applicant requested that their add—on turbocharger kit No. 32—0000—1 be also exempted from the prohibitions in Vehicle Code (V.C.) Section 27156 for the 1983 model—year YVolkswagen Rabbtt, Dasher, Jetta, and pick—up truck models powered by a 97 cubic inch displacement (CID) four—cylinder diesel engine. Based on the previous comparative exhaust emisston tests performed on a 1981 model—year Volkswagen pick—up truck and the fact that the engines used in the 1983 Volkswagen Rabbit, Dasher, Jetta, and pick—up truck models are carry—overs {identical engine design) from the 1981 and 1982 models, the staff concludes that the kit will not adversely affect exhaust emissions from the 1983 VoTkswagen Rabbit, Dasher, Jetta, and pick—up truck mode!s. The staff recommends that BAE Turbosystems be granted their update request to include the 1983 model—year Volkswagen Rabbit, Dasher, Jetta, and pick—up truck models in the exemption of their add—on turbocharger kit No. 32—0000—1. The staff recommends that Executive Order No. D—97—18 be adopted.

EVALUATION OF THE BAE TURBOCHARGER KIT NO. 32—0000—1 FOR EXEMPTION FROM THE PROHIBITIONS IN VEHICLE CODE SECTION 27156 IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 2222, TITLE 13 OF THE CALIFORNIA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE. I. INTRODUCTION BAE Turbosystems of 3032 Kashiwa Street, Torrance, CA 90505, has requested an update to the existing Air Resources Board‘s Executive Order {(E.0.) No. D—97—11. The applicant requested that their add—on turbocharger kit No. 32—0000—1 be also exempted from the prohibitions in Vehicle Code {V.C.) Section 27156 for the 1983 model—year Volkswagen Rabbit, Dasher, Jetta, and pick—up truck models powered by a 97 CID four—cylinder diesel engine. II. CONCLUSION Based on the previous comparative exhaust emission tests performed on a 1981 model—year Volkswagen pick—up truck and the fact that the engines used in the 1983 Volkswagen Rabbit, Dasher, Jetta, and pick—up truck mode?ls are carry—overs (identical engine design) from the 1981 and 1982 models, the staff concludes that the kit will not adversely affect exhaust emissions from the 1983 Volkswagen Rabbit, Dasher, Jetta, and pick—up truck models. III. RECOMMENDATIONS The staff recommends that BAE Turbosystems be granted their update request to include the 1983 model—year Volkswagen Rabbit, Dasher, Jetta, and pick—up truck models in the exemption of their add—on turbocharger kit No. 32—0000—1. The staff recommends that Executive Order No. D—97—18 be adopted.

IV. TURBOCHARGER KIT DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION The purpose of turbocharging ts to increase the volumetric efficiency of an engine. The major components of the BAE kit are a RaJay turbocharger with an A/R ratio of 0.25, replacement intake and exhaust manifolds, and an air filter. The components are packaged with installation hardware and instructions and sold as a kit. The original equipment manufacturer (OEM) exhaust manifold is replaced by a BAE manifold. The turbine inlet of the turbocharger mounts directly under the replacement exhaust manifold. The turbine, driven by exhaust gases, is Tinked to the compressor by a solid shaft. Intake air is drawn through the BAE canister—type air filter and compressed by the compressor. Compressed air is then routed to the BAE replacement intake manifold. Maxtmum posttive manifold pressure (boost) is lTimited to 7 psig by the size of (and exhaust flow through) the turbine housing. No wastegate or other active boost limiting device is used. The coo]fng of the turbocharger is achieved by ram air, by forced air flow from a cooling fan, and by Tubricating ofl passing through the unft. The ofl is delivered from a hole tapped at the oil filter adaptor to the turbocharger bearing housing through a stainless steel braided line and then returned to the engine of1 pan. Optional accessories that can be connected to the kit include exhaust pyrometer to measure engine exhaust temperature at the turbine inlet and an intake manifold pressure (boost) gauge. No modifications to the OEM tune—up specifications are required or permitted when the turbocharger kit is installed.

V. DI SCUSSION BAE turbocharger kit No. 32—0000—1 applicable to 1981 and 1982 model—year Volkswagen Rabbit, Dasher, Jetta, and pick—up truck models powered by a 97 CID four—cylinder diesel engine was granted an exemnption (E.0. No. D—97—11) on December 9, 1981. The exemptton was granted on the basis that the effectiveness of the vehicle‘s pollution control system was not reduced. Evaluation consisted of comparative ({without and with the kit installed on a test vehicle) chassis dynamometer CVS—75 and Highway Fuel Economy tests at normal dynamometer road loading. The applicant is making available kit No. 32—0000—1 for the 1983 models also. The applicant has requested that the exemption be updated to include the 1983 models. In response to the request, the staff compared the engine design of 1981, 1982, and 1983 model—years. Since the engines in the 1983 models are identically designed as the 1981 and 1982 engines, the staff is of the opinion that the 1983 models will have the same degree of performance/emissions impact as in the 1981 and 1982 models. Because the test data on a 1981 test vehicle showed that the vehicle‘s emissions were not adversely affected when the turbocharger kit was installed, the kit will have no adverse effect on the 1983 models either. No additional testing was required or performed.
