        HONEYWELL EXPANDS PRODUCT LINE WITH NEW TURBOPAC(TM) SUPERCHARGER


TORRANCE/CARPINTERIA, CALIFORNIA, FEBRUARY 14, 2000 - Honeywell [NYSE:HON] said
today that its Turbocharging Systems business enterprise will be offering the
first electrical supercharger. The new Garrett(R) supercharger will carry the
Turbopac(TM) trade name.

"Turbopac(TM) will enable us to continue providing our customers with the latest
boosting technologies available," said Rob Gillette, Vice President and General
Manager, Strategic Growth for Honeywell Turbocharging Systems. "This new product
gives our customers another option to maximum engine performance, which includes
faster acceleration, savings at the fuel pump and a reduction of emissions."

The Turbopac(TM) supercharger is a motor-driven device that enables immediate
engine boost in response to the driver pressing the accelerator. The
Turbopac(TM) is installed between the air intake system and the turbocharger in
vehicles with existing turbochargers.

Turbocharging Systems and Turbodyne Technologies Inc. [EASDAQ:TRBD] have entered
into an agreement pertaining to the joint development for mass production of the
Garrett(R) Dynacharger(TM) and Turbopac(TM) products, and an intellectual
property and product rights agreement for assignment by Turbodyne for the patent
and trademark portfolio related to these products.

Under the expanded agreement, Honeywell Turbocharging Systems has the exclusive
licensing rights for the manufacturing and marketing of the Dynacharger(TM) and
Turbopac(TM) products on a worldwide basis. Turbodyne holds exclusive worldwide
rights to manufacture and supply electric motors and generators, electronic
controls and light metal components for both of these product lines.

"These expanded agreements provide the gateway for further development and mass
production of the innovative technologies Turbodyne can offer with partners such
as Honeywell," said Gerhard E. Delf, Turbodyne's President and Chief Executive
Officer.

The new electrically assisted Garrett(R) Dynacharger(TM) turbocharger received
international recognition when it was awarded the International Grand Prix for
Technical Innovation Jury's Special Prize at the Equip' Auto Show in Paris.
Prototype testing is currently underway with major automotive manufacturers.
