State of California AIR RESOURCES BOARD EXECUTIVE ORDER D~—97—2 Relating to Exemptions under Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code BAE TURBOCHARGER KIT MODEL NQG. TO4B M2 Pursuant to the authority vested in the Air Resources Board by Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code; and Pursuant to the authority vested in the undersigned by Sections 39515 and 39516 of the Health and Safety Code and Executive Order 6—45—5; IT IS ORDERED AND RESOLYED: That the installation of the turbocharger kit model No. TO4G M2 manufactured by BAE of 3032 Kashiwa Street, Torrance, California 90503, has been found not to reduce the effectiveness of required motor vehicle poliution control devices and, therefore, is exempt from the prohibitions of Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code for 1981 model year Airstream 28 foot motorhomes having an Isuzu QD 145 six—cylinder diesel engine and automatic transmission. This Executive Order is valid provided that installation instructions for this device 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 device, as exempted by the Air Resources Board, that adversely affect the performance of a vehicle‘s pollution control system shall invalidate this Executive Order. Marketing of this device using an identification other than that shown in this Executive Order or marketing of this device for an application other than those listed in this Executive Order shall be prohibited unless prior approval is obtained from the Air Resources Board. Exemption of a kit shall not be construed as an exemption to sell, offer for sale or advertise any component of a kit as an individual device. This Executive Order does not constitute any opinion as to the effect that the use of this device may have on any warranty either expressed or implied by the vehicle manufacturer. 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 THE BAE TURBOCHARGER KIT, KIT MODEL NO. TO4B M2. No claim of any kind, such as "Approved by Air Resources Board" may be made with respect to the action taken herein in any advertising or other oral or written communication.

BAE EXECUTIVE ORDER D—97—2 TURBOCHARGER KIT MODEL NO. TO4B MZ (Page 2 of 2) Section 17500 of the Business and Professions Code makes untrue or misleading advertising unlawful, and Section 17534 makes violation punishable as a misdemeanor. Section 43644 of the Health and Safety Code provides as follows: "43644. (a) No person shall install, sell, offer for sale, or advertise, or, except in an application to the state board for certification of a device, represent, any device as a motor vehicle pollution control device for use on any used motor vehicle unless that device has been certified by the state board. No person shall sell, offer for sale, advertise, or represent any motor vehicle poliution control device as a certified device which, in fact, is not a certified device. Any violation of this subdivision is a misdemeanor."

State of California AIR RESOURCES BOARD Staff Report June 5, 1981 Evaluation of the BAE Turbocharger Kit Model No. TO4B M2 for Compliance With the Requirements of Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code. I. INTRODUCTION /BAE of 3032 Kashiwa Street, Torrance, California 90505, has applied for exemption of a turbocharger kit from the prohibitions of Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code (V.C.}. The kit, turbocharger kit model No. TO4B M2, is intended for 1981 model year Airstream 28 foot motorhomes having an Isuzu QD 145 six—cylinder diesel engine and automatic transmission. BAE has submitted comparative emission data from back—to—back steady state exhaust emissions tests conducted on an Airstream motorhome at the company‘s own emission laboratory. Confirmatory tests were conducted on the same motorhome at the Air Resources Board‘s (ARB) Haagen—Smit Laboratory in El Monte, California. II. TURBOCHARGER KIT DESCRIPTION The BAE turbocharger kit consists of an AiResearch turbocharger, an exhaust manifold to turbocharger adaptor, and an intake pipe. The components are packaged with installation hardware to complete the kit. The exhaust manifold to turbo adaptor is installed on the OEM exhaust manifold located on the driver‘s side of the engine.. The turbine inlet of the turbocharger mounts directly to the adaptor. The turbine, driven by exhaust gases, is linked to the compressor by a solid shaft. Compressed incoming air is routed to the intake manifold through the BAE intake pipe mounted transversely over the engine.

Maximum positive manifold pressure is limited to 13 psig by the size of (and exhaust flow through) the turbine housing. No wastegate or other active boost limiting device is used. The cooling of the turbocharger is achieved by direct fan air from engine and lubricating oil passing through the unit. The oil is piped from the filtered main oil galley to the turbocharger bearing housing. Oil from the turbocharger is returned to the oil pan. No modifications to the OEM tune—up specifications are required when the turbocharger kit is installed. III. TEST PROGRAM A 1981 Airstream 28 foot motorhome with an Isuzu QD 145 six—cylinder diesel engine and automatic transmission was used for testing. The test v weight for the motorhome is 14,500 lbs. The frontal area road load horsepower (RLHP) used in the testing was 36 horsepower at 50 mph. Back—to—back steady state tests were conducted on the test motorhome at the following points: 1) idle 2) 60, 50, 40, 20 mph at 2 times RLHP 3) idle 4) 60, 50, 40, 20 mph at 1 times RLHP IV. APPLICANT TEST DATA The applicant‘s exhaust emissions test data in Table 1 was generated at the company‘s own emission laboratory.

VI. DISCUSSION The app]icant‘é reported exhaust HC emission data in Table 1 were calculated from measured HC values. The applicant‘s laboratory used a general (not heated) Flame lonization Detector (FID) for exhaust hydrocarbon determination. An experimental factor of 3.5 was used by the applicant to convert the measured FID values to Heated—FID values. HC data reported by the ARB laboratory were obtained using a HFID. The two (2) sets of laboratory data (Tables 1 and 2) show that there are some changes in emissions due to the installation of the turbocharger kit. The changes, however, are within test variability and are considered to be insignificant. VII. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS Comparative chassis dynamometer tests indicate the the BAE turbocharger kit model No. TO4B M2 will not significantly affect exhaust emissions when installed in accordance with the manufacturer‘s instructions. The staff recommends that BAE be granted an exemption from the prohibitions of V. C. Section 27156 for this kit for 1981 modé] year Airstream 28 foot motorhomes having an Isuzu QD 145 six—cylinder diesel engine and automatic transmission. The staff recommends that Executive Order No. D—97—2 be adopted.
