STATE OF CALIFORNIA AIR RESOURCES BOARD EVALUATION OF THE BAE TURBOCHARGER KIT NO. 28—0000—3 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. 28—0000—3 FOR EXEMPTION FROM THE PROHIBITIONS IN VEKHICLE 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—10. The applicant requested that their add—on turbocharger kit No. 28—0000—3 be also exempted from the prohibitions in Vehicle Code (¥.C.} Section 27156 for the 1983 model—year Yolkswagen Rabbit, Dasher, Jetta, and pick—up truck, and Audi 4000 models powered by a 105 cubic inch displacement (CID) four—cylTinder gasoline engine. 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 model—year Volkswagen Rabbit, Dasher, Jetta, and pick—up truck, and Audi 4000 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 Volkswagen Rabbit, Dasher, Jetta, and pick—up truck, and Audi 4000 models. 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, and Audi 4000 méde]s in the exemptiofi of their add—on turbocharger kit No. 28—0000—3. The staff recommends that Executive Order No. D—97—19 be adopted.

EVALUATION OF THE BAE TURBOCHARGER KIT NO. 28—0000—3 FOR EXEMPTION FROM THE PROHIBITIONS IN VEHICLE CODE SECTION 27156 IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 2222, TITLE 13 OF THE CALIFORNIA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE. I. INTRODUCTI ON 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—10. The applicant requested that their add—on turbocharger kit No. 28—0000—3 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, and Audi 4000 models powered by a 105 CID four—cylinder gasoline 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 model—year Volkswagen Rabbit, Dasher, Jetta, and pick—up truck, and Audi 4000 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 Yolkswagen Rabbit, Dasher, Jetta, and pick—up truck, and Audi 4000 models. III. RECOMMENDATIONS The staff recommends that BAE Turbosystems be granted their update request to include the 1983 model—year VoTkswagen Rabbit, Dasher, Jetta, and pick—up truck, and Audi 4000 models in the exemption of their add—on turbocharger kit No. 28—0000—3. The staff recommends that Executive Order No. D—97—19 be adopted.

IV. TURBOCHARGER KIT DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION The purpose of turbocharging is to increase the volumetric efficiency of an engine by forcing more air into an engine than it would take under naturally aspirated conditions. The major components of the turbocharger kit are a Rajay Turbocharger Mode] No. 300B with an A/R ratio of 0.25, a replacement BAE exhaust manifold, and intake, discharge, and exhaust pipes. 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 mounts directly to the replacement manifold. The turbine, driven by exhaust gases, is Tinked to the compressor by a solid shaft. Intake air from the air box, of the K—Jetronic System, is routed through the intake pipe to the compressor. Compressed air is then routed to the BAE replacement intake plenum. Lubfication of the turbocharger is provided by a steel—braided Tine from the oil filter adaptor to the turbocharger bearing housing. Oi1 from the turbocharger is returned to the oil pan. Maximum positive manifold pressure (boost) is limited to 5 psig by a wastegate positioned on the exhaust manifold. The wastegate is preset to dump excess exhaust gases when intake manifold pressure reaches 5 psig of boost. A vacuum—delay valve is used to control NOx exhaust emissions and to suppress detonation. The valve is installed in the vacuum Tine prior to the vacuum retard mechanism of the distributor.

No modifications to the OEM tune—up specifications are required or permitted when the turbocharger kit is installed. All OEM emission controls are left intact. V. DISCUSSION BAE turbocharger kit No. 28—0000—3 applicable to 1981 and 1982 model—year Volkswagen Rabbit, Dasher, Jetta, and pick—up truck, and Audi 4000 modeIs powered by a 105 CID four—cylinder gasoline engine was granted an exemption (E.0. No. D—97—10) on December 9, 1981. The exemption 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 CYS—75 and Highway Fuel Economy tests at normal dynamometer road Toading. The applicant is making available kit No. 28—0000—3 for the 1983 modeTs also. The applicant has requested that the exméption be updated to include the 1983 models. In response to the request, the staff compared the engine design of 1981, 1982, and 1983 modeT—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 vehicles 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.
