                                  SUMMARY



     Redline, Inc., a distributor of Italian made Weber carburetors, has

applied for exemption from the prohibitions of Vehicle Code Section 27156

for the model 32/34 DFT 9A carburetor.      Changes to the previously

exempted model 32/34 DFT carburetor include different jetting to match

the aftermarket carburetor with that of the original equipment Hitachi

340 carburetor found on Timited 1977 to 1980 Datsun vehicles.

     Comparative exhaust emission and bench flow tests demonstrate that

the aftermarket Weber carburetor model 32/34 DFT 9A does not adversely

affect emissions.   Based on the results of the tests and the Board‘s

evaluation of the model 32/34 DFT 9A, the staff recommends that the
exemption be granted for the vehicles as requested.

EVALUATION OF THE MODEL 32/34 DFT 9A WEBER CARBURETOR FOR EXEMPTION FROM
THE PROKIBITIONS OF YEHICLE CODE SECTION 27156 IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION
2222, TITLE 13 OF THE CALIFORNIA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE

I.    INTRODUCTION

      RedTine, Inc. of Torrance, California, a subsidiary of Imported

Parts and Accessories Corporation (IMPAC), is a distributor of

Italian—made Weber carburetors and has applied for exemption from the

prohibitions of Vehicle Code Section 27156 for a single aftermarket

carburetor designated as the Weber mode] 32/34 DFT 9A.    Exemption is

sought as an exchange carburetor for the original equipment (0.E.)

Hitachi 340 carburetor as found on limited 1977—1980 Datsun (Nissan)
vehicles equipped with the L—20 engines.

      This report describes the evaluation of the Weber 32/34 DFT 9A

carburetor and its findings.

II.   CONCLUSIONS

      Comparative exhaust emission data submitted by the applicant

demonstrated that the Weber mode] 32/34 DFT 9A carburetor has the same
Tow emission characteristic as that of a properly performing Hitachi 340

carburetor.   The applicant also submitted air flow curves of the model

32/34 DFT 9A to demonstrate that the Weber aftermarket carburetor

functions in a like manner as to similar Hitachi counterparts.

      The Weber replacement carburetor is designed to match the flow

characteristics of Tater model Hitachi 340 carburetors.   Weber 32/34 DFT

9A carburetors simply exchange the existing carburetor without any

modifications and the stock air cleaner housing is retained.     The idle

mixture screw has a Timiting adjustment cap to prevent tampering as does |

the O.E. carburetor.


111. RECOMMENDATIONS

        Based on the submitted comparative data of the Weber carburetor, the

staff recommends that Redline, Inc. be granted exemption from the

prohibitions of Vehicle Code Section 27156 for the Weber aftermarket

carburetor model 32/34 DFT 9A for the years, make, and models of vehicles

listed below:

Year(s)          _Make_                Models            Engine Description

77—79             Datsun         200 SX                  1952 cc, L—20

IV.     DEVICE DESCRIPTION

        Both the Weber 32/34 DFT 9A and Hitachi 340 carburetors are

progressive two—barrel down draft designs (see exploded view, Photo 1).

The main differences between the carburetors are the manner in which the

secondary throttle is activated and the choke butterflies.        The Weber

32/34 DFT 9A uses a manually—operated secondary which starts to open

after approximately 40° of primary throttle opening and uses twin choke

butterfTies, one for each venturi.        The Hitachi 340, however, uses a
vacuum operated secondary which can be opened after 50° of primary

throttle opening and the corresponding manifold vacuum and a single choke

butterfly only over the primary venturi.

      The Hitachi 340 uses a Boost Controlled Deceleration Device {BCDD)

to enrich the air/fuel mixture'during decelerations.        However, when the

Weber 32/34 DFT 9A is installed the BCDD and its controlling components

are no Tonger retained.


        The Weber 32/34 DFT 9A includes several changes from the previously

exempted 32/34 DFT model.      The new model has larger primary and

accelerator pump jets and two EGR ports {instead of one) are used.              The

power circuit remains unchanged from the previously exempted 32/34 DFT.

The changes allow a closer air and fuel flow characteristic to that of

lTater mode] Hitachi 340 carburetors.

V.      EVALUATION PROGRAM

        The applicant performed comparative CVS—75 exhaust emission tests at

Import Certification Lab in Anaheim, California.           A 1980 Datsun 720 P—U

equipped with a L—20 (1952 cc) engine and automatic transmission was used.

        During the evaluation, testing was performed on a representative

production carburetor to show that the exhaust emission levels would not

be adversely affected by the Weber 32/34 DFT 9A‘s use.           The baseline test

with the Hitachi 340 carburetor was performed to show that the stock

vehicle was in proper working order and that emissions of the vehicle

were within the applicable state standard for the 1980 model—year.

        The applicant‘s submitted comparative exhaust emission and derived

fuel economy data is given in Table 1.

      The applicant also submitted comparative bench air flow data
(Graph 1) for the Weber 32/34 DFT 9A and Hitachi 340 carburetors.     For

comparative purposes the curve for the previously exempted Weber

carburetor was plotted also.

      The Board did not perform confirmatory testing of the Weber 32/34

DFT 9A for this evaluation.

VI.   DISCUSSION

      The applicant‘s submitted comparative emission and bench test data

is generally acceptable.    ATthougļ¬ there are some differences in which

the two carburetors operate, the Weber 32/34 DFT 9A does not seem to

adversely affect exhaust emissions.    The submitted emission test data

showed no significant increases and the small differences are considered,

by staff, to be within the limits of testing variability.

      The absence of the BCDD with the carburetor exchange did not seem to

affect emissions even though the CVS—75 test contains more than 20

deceleration modes.    Additionally, since NOx emissions did not increase,

the staff did not feel that the operation of the EGR system was adversely

affected with the suction change resulting from the twin ports machined

into the exchange carburetor.   The applicant explained that two EGR ports

were used on the exchange carburetor since the 0. E. carburetor also

contained two ports.

      The NOx emission standards for the model—years 1977—1980 were

reduced from 2.0 gm/mi to 1.5 gm/mi requiring changes to the NOx
controlling components and/or their subsystems.


       Driveability was not evaluated during the testing of the Weber 32/34

DFT 9A.    However, if driveability was adversely impaired, emissions would

have more than Tikely increased.

       Since the installation of the Weber 32/34 DFT 9A is a simple

remove—and—replace arrangement and no special adapters, other than the

one for the air cleaner, are needed, the staff does not believe that

improper installation or tampering would be anticipated.    The idle

mixture screw is pre—adjusted and then sealed by Redline preventing the

installer from changing the produétion limits of the carburetor.

       Although the test data of the Weber 32/34 DFT 9A reveals it to be

functionally similar with regard to emissions to the later models of the

Hitachi 340, it cannot be classified as an Aftermarket Replacement Part
as differences are found in the bench air flow data, the carburetor choke
and power circuits, and the absence of the BCDD system.

       The Weber 32/34 DFT 9A carburetor is packaged in three separate kits
ijdentified as kits 8654, 8660 and 8666.   The same carburetor is used in

each kit, however, the connective throttle arrangements differ to

facilitate various configuration found on vehicle models being applied

for.    Additionally, some kits include a thicker insulator gasket to match

that of the O.E. application.
