State of California AIR RESOURCES BOARD Staff Report September 1, 1981 Evaluation of the BAE Turbocharger Kit Model No. TO4AB M2 for Compliance with the Requirements of Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code. I. INTRODUCTION BAE, of 3032 Kashiwa Street, Torrance, California 90505, has requested by letter dated August 7, 1981, an update to the existing Air Resources Board‘s Executive Order (E.0) No. D—97—2. The applicant requested that the exemption from the prohibitions of the Vehicle Code (V.C.) Section 27156 for their add—on turbocharger kit model number TO4B M2 be updated to include 1982 model—year Airstream 28 foot motorhomes which are powered by 1981 California certified Isuzu QD 145 six—cylinder diesel engine and is equipped with auto— matic transmission. II. TURBOCHARGER KIT DESCRIPTION/EVALUATION The detailed description of the turbocharger kit and ARB‘s evaluation procedure for compliance with the requirements of V.C. Section 27156, is re— ferred to the Air Resources Board {ARB) Staff Report titled "Evaluation of the BAE Turbocharger Kit Model No. TO4B M2 for Compliance With the Require— ments of Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code" dated June 5, 1981. III. DISCUSSION The original exemption, E.0. No. D—97—2, was granted for 1981 model— year Airstream 28 foot motorhomes having a 1981 California certified Isuzu QD 145 six—cylinder diesel engine and automatic transmission. Airstream is introducing their 1982 model—year motorhomes which will still be powered by 1981 certified Isuzu QD 145 engines. The applicant (BAE) is making available their turbocharger kit to the said 1982 motorhomes.

The applicant has requested that the 1981 exemption be updated to include the 1982 model motorhomes. The staff did not request or perform any exhaust emissions test. It is the staff‘s opinion that the installation of the add—on turbocharger kit will not have an adverse affect on the 1982 motorhomes for the follow— ing reasons: 1. BAE was granted an exemption for their kit applicable to 1981 Airstream motorhomes powered by a 1981 California certified diesel engine on the basis that the kit will not adversely affect the vehicles exhaust emissions; 2. The identical engine {(1981 year model) exempted under E.0. No. D—97—2 will be used for the 1982 model year motorhomes; and 3. The 1981 and 1982 motorhomes have approximately the same GVW. IV. _CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION Based on the above, the staff is of the opinion that the BAE turbo— charger add—on kit model number TO4B M2 will not adversely affect exhaust emissions from the 1982 model motorhomes that are powered by 1981 California certified Isuzu diesel engines. The staff recommends that Executive Order No. D—97—2 be updated to include the 1982 Airstream motorhomes powered by 1981 Isuzu California certified diesel engines. The staff, therefore, recommends that Executive Order No. D—97—5 be adopted.
