Turbodyne's Turbopac(TM) Receives EPA Certification

    WOODLAND HILLS, Calif., April 7 -- Turbodyne Technologies
Inc., announced today it received official
certification from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
under the Urban Bus Retrofit/Rebuild Program as part of a Detroit Diesel
Corporation emission upgrade kit.  Last July, DDC and Turbodyne
submitted an application for certification at the 0.10 gram per brake
horsepower hour (bhp-hr) particulate emission level.  This includes all
federally certified 253, 277, and 294hp DDC mechanical unit injection 6V92
engines manufactured between 1979 and 1989.
    The EPA says the certified equipment may be used immediately by transit
operators in compliance with requirements of the Urban Bus Retrofit/Rebuild
Program.
    "As part of the DDC kit, Turbodyne can now provide transit authorities
across the United States the only cost effective means of complying with the
EPA rebuild regulations, with significant improvement in fuel economy and
vehicle performance," said Walter Ware, Turbodyne's President & CEO.
"Turbodyne's estimated first year sales under this program is between
$4,000,000 and $5,000,000."
    The Detroit Diesel kit, sold through DDC distributors, includes parts
used in the previously certified 25 percent emissions reduction kit plus a
Turbopac(TM).  The Turbopac(TM) is an electronical supercharger that supplies
increased airflow during acceleration to optimize the fuel/air ratio.  Test
data for a rebuilt engine using the DDC/Turbodyne kit shows a reduction of
particulate emissions down to 0.09 grams/ bhp-hr.
    Turbodyne Systems, the high technology division of Turbodyne,
manufactures, designs, markets and develops patented pollution-reduction, fuel
economy and performance enhancing technology for internal combustion engines
in the automotive, transportation, construction, marine, agriculture, mining,
military and power generation industries.  Commercial sales have begun.
Turbodyne's light metals division is a manufacturer of machined aluminum
castings and a leading supplier to the automotive industry, providing $39
million in revenues in 1997.
    Offices and plants are located in Carpinteria, La Mirada, Encinitas and
