                                      SUMMARY



       Porsche Mailorder has requested exemption from the prohibitions in

Vehicle Code Section 27156 for an aftermarket carburetor and conversion

kit.     The total kit is designed to replace the original equipment
mechanical fuel injection found on lTimited 1969—1973 Porsche 911 E, S,

and T model—year vehicles.

       The applicant in order to demonstrate no adverse emissions effect

with the use of the conversion kit performed comparative exhaust emission
tests.       The test results revealed that:

       i)       stock systems are high emitters due to age and deterioration
and that repair parts are quite costly acting as a deterrence for owners

to repair; and

       i1)      the conversion kit being applied for did not increase the

emissions of the vehicle tested.
       Based on the engineering evaluation of the conversion kit and an

analysis of emission test data, the staff recommends that the application

be granted exemption for the vehicles applied for and that Executive

Order D—144 be issued.

EVALUATION OF PORSCHE MAILORDER‘S 40 IDA 3C WEBER CARBURETOR AND CONVERSION
KIT FOR EXEMPTION FROM THE PROHIBITIONS IN VEHICLE CODE SECTION 27156 IN
ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 2222, TITLE 13 OF THE CALIFORNIA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE

I.    INTRODUCTION

      Porsche Mailorder located in Santa Monica, California 90402, has applied

for exemption from the prohibitions of Vehicle Code Section 27156 for an
aftermarket add—on replacement carburetor and conversion kit.   The applicant

specifically requested that the conversion kit, which includes two model 40
IDA 3C Weber carburetors, two intake manifolds, carburetor Tinkage and two air
cleaner adapters, be used in place of the original equipment (OE)‘mechanicaT

fue! injection found on limited 1969 through 1973 Porsche 911 E, S, and T

modeT—year vehicles.

      The applicant, in order to demonstrate that an adverse emissions impact

would not occur with the use of the conversion kit, performed comparative
exhaust emission tests on a vehicle equipped with the OE mechanical injection

and then with the aftermarket carburetor kit.

      This report describes the Air Resources Board‘s (ARB) evaluation of the

Weber model 40 IDA 3C carburetors and conversion kit and discusses the

findings of the evaluation.

II.   CONCLUSIONS

      Based upon the applicant‘s submitted comparative exhaust emission data

and an analysis of in—use vehicle emission test data, the staff has concluded

that the installation of the Weber 40 IDA 3C carburetors would not cause an

adverse emissions fmpact.

III. RECOMMENDATIONS

      The staff, therefore, recommends that Porsche Mailorder be granted

exemption from the prohibitions in Vehicle Code Section 27156 for the vehicles
as requested.


      The staff also recommends that Executive Order D—144 be issued allowing

use of the Weber 40 IDA 3C carburetors and conversion kit on Timited 1969—1973

Porsche 911 E, S, and T model—year vehicles.

IV.   DEVICE DESCRIPTION

      The Weber 40 IDA 3C carburetor is of a triple venturi downdraft type and

two units are required for each application (Diagram 1).       All throttles (6)

are simulTtaneously operated by a common Tinkage.
      Each paired triple venturi carburetor contains a dual float and

individual idle, main, and accelerator circuits.       However, it contains neither

a choke nor a power enrichment circuit which is common among these types of

carburetors.

      Weber carburetors are well known as being adaptable for various types of

driving applications.      In order for the applicant to provide standardized

components for individual vehicle applications by engine and model

designation, Table 1 is provided.

*Model used for exhaust emission evaluation.
(1) Uses OE air cleaner w/o adapters.
(2) Uses OE air cleaner w/adapters.


     All of Porsche Mailorder‘s Weber 40 IDA 3C carburetors use special
extended secondary venturi tubes.

     The applicant also provides two different intake manifolds depending upon
the engine‘s intake port diameter.     Porsche Models T and E receive a 40x32 mm

manifold while the mode? S receives a 40x36 mm manifold.     Since the

installation of the Weber carburetors necessitates removal of the OE fuel
injection components, special plugs (6) are provided in each kit to plug the
hole for the individual fuel injection nozzles where they normally screw into

the cylinder head.   The OE fuel pump is retained but a special fuel block with
a pressure regulator is added to allow individual fuel supplies to each

carburetor.
     The applicant‘s mixture adjustment procedures for the Weber 40 IDA 3C

carburetors are found in Appendix 1.     The procedure basically states that the

carburetors are to be adjusted equally and individually to obtain the

smoothest idle.   A "Uni—Syn" (air flow meter) is needed to measure and adjust

each venturi for equal air flow.

     Idle HC/CO lTimits are not given for adjustment of the carburetors,

however, when adjustments are performed according to the installation

instructions, the emission levels are less than the MVIP idle standard adopted

by the State for this type of vehicle.

v.   DEVICE EVALUATION
     The applicant submitted comparative exhaust emission tests performed by

the Automobile Club of Southern California.    The procedure used for the
evaluation was the CVS—75 as explained in the Code of Federal Regulations,
Part 86:00.   The test vehicle is described in Table 2 and its comparative


exhaust emission results are found in Table 3.               Paired baseline (with OE fue!

injection) and paired device {with Weber 40 IDA 3C carburetors) tests were
performed but only the average values of each are reported.

     Prior to the baseline tests the test vehicle was adjusted and set to

original equipment specifications.          Although the test vehicle was 14 years

old, it was purported to be well maintained and no modifications other than

normal maintenance items were performed.

*Results have been recalculated to the CVS—72 procedure.
     The ARB did not perform confirmatory testing of the conversion kit due to

lack of a well maintained test vehicle and extreme costs in repairing one to

appropriate levels.


 VI.    DISCUSSION

       As evident from the comparative emission results the baseline HC and CO

 values are many times the 1972 emissions standard.    Although the test vehicle

 was repaired prior to testing, it is apparent that major fuel distribution

 problems still existed and were not corrected at the time of testing.    There
 is no correlation between the MVIP idle HC/CO standards and the CVS results
' since during both test configurations, baseline and device, the idle emissions

 were Tess than the MVIP standards.

       The staff also performed an analysis of emission inspection data of six

 cylinder Porsche vehicles having been tested at the time of registration

 change and found that 90% of the vehicles failed at least one of the idle or

 Toaded mode HC/CO Timits.    The staff contacted several Porsche dealerships in

 the area and questioned service personnel about repairs to this type of
 injection system.   It was found that there are lTimited people who can properly

 service these units and that repair costs could run from several hundred
 dollars to several thousand dollars.    The availability of new OE parts is

 another area of concern since they are no longer available and one must rely

 solely on rebuilt parts.    The combination of high repair costs and parts

 availability acts as a deterrence for proper repair of the OE system.

       The Weber 40 IDA 3C carburetor kit is similar to the same carburetors
 used on earlier model—year Porsches.    Although these carburetors require

 precise adjustment to operate properly, most of the early foreign vehicles use

 multiple carburetors similar to these and most repair personnel are familiar
with them.    Additionally, parts to repair or renew these carburetors are

readily available.


     The deterioration factor of high performance sports cars such as Porches
with mileage in excess of 50,000 miles is extremely high.   This is also

 compounded since the model—year vehicles for this application are approaching
 absolescence and replacement parts are becoming extinct.

      Although the exhaust emission levels with the use of the Weber 40 IDA 3C

 carburetor kit are considerably higher than the 1972 emission standard, they

‘are 50% less than those of the OE system.

     It‘s being taken for granted that you have had some experience working with
Poxrsche engines, at Least at the tune—up Llevel.        Webers are easy to adfjust when
companred to other Porsche induction aystems but they are much harder to adjust
than an American two barrel. It takes a cenrtain feel; which usually can be Learned.
      Before attempting to adjust the carbs the engine must have correct cam and
ignition timing atong with a careful value adjustment. The points, plugs, distii—
butor ecap, ignition wires, etc., should be in Like—new condition. The distributor
must be mechanical advance or modified for straight mechanical advance. The
compression differentioal between the cylinders should not exceed 20 psi max. An
engine compartment fuel filter will keep the carbs clean Llonger. When the air
cleaner is finstly instatled, it should have a clean eLement.

    and the carnburetor.     A gasket can go under the air horns if you want to be sure of
    getting an accurate adjustment with the. Uni—Syn.                              _
         Next, the Linkage should be hooked up except for the short ball jointed
    carburetor nods.    If you are converting to Webers from Zeniths, the Linkage
    arm conmected to the crossbar on the right side sometimes has to be bent further
    to the right to aftlow the short baltl jointed carb rod to travel in a totally
    vertical pfane when viewing the mechaniam from the xear of the vehicle. Find the
    idfescrem at the rear of each carb and tuin the ascrew afl the way out so that the
    throttle plates rest against the throttle bore walls. Now turn the serew in until.
    it fjfust touches the throttle arm and then tuin it 1/2 furn more. Repeat with the
    other carb. Now adjust the short balt fointed rods so that they can be snapped
    onto the thiottle am baff without distuwrbing the throttle setting. This should
    give the carbs side to side batance.
          dil the throttle shafts and acceferator pump Linkage [hencefonrth every 3,000
    mifes] and check for amooth operation. Take the play out of the Linkage by
    shontening the Zlong batl {jfointed rod that connects the pivot point on the front
    of the left manifold to the crossbar; making sure that the throttfe closes all the
    way. Next, have someone get inside the car and {LZoor the gas pedal while you ane
    Looking into the carbs to make sure the throttle plates rise to a complete vertical
    position. You may have to adjust the throttle stop behind the pedal . Be sure
    throttle plates don‘t go past the vertical position.                        .
         You can now hook up the fuel Llines. 1f the onriginal braided fuel Lines to

    {from Porsche you can nremove the entire assembly {from the car, cut about 1/2" from
    the metal Lines and install regular neoprtene fuel hose and astainfess hose clampa.
    PDon‘t forget the filters. The German high pressure fuel Line is safer.

         You now have allt your tools together and are ready to adjust the carbs.
      e initial adjuatment on the Mixture Sorews is 1 1/2 tuwins out from the seats.
    The Idle Screws are 1/2 turn in after touching the throttle arm on each carb.
    The Air Screws are 1/2 turn out.& $ mm nuts are Lightlky Llocked with the seneus
    being hetd stationary. Attach the Tach—Pwefl Meter (on CD ignition the hot Llead
    goes to an adaptor on the point wire connection on the distzributor}.      Warm the
    engine to at Lleast 140 degrees.     Unfock the rod from the right carb and evenlty
    tuin the idle serems in until the tach reads 1190 xpm.       Check the side to side
    batance of the carbs with the Uni—Syn to make awre both sides of the engine are
    pultling equal vacuum.  Adjust an idle serew if need be. Pick a bamiel and tuin
    the mixture sckew in until the engine speed drops and then sLowly out again until
    it runs smoothly.      Remember to Llet the engine speed stabiZlize after each increment
    of acrew tuimm. 14 you gound that the engine uns smoothly at fess than the
    initiok 1 1/2 turin seiting then you can tuin all the other mixture screws a half
    turn in and start over. If you need 2 1/2 tuins to make the engine run well then
    do it. 3 1/2 twins out or more usually calls for biggor idle jets.
          I{ the engine doesn‘t sespond when you turn one of the mixture screws in and
    out it means that the cylinder is not getting ignition or it is not getting idle
    mixture. 1f the ignition and compreasion on the cylinder check out then on idfe
    passage is plugged. Remove the mixture screw and idle jet and blow air back and
    forth to clear the ubstruction. DON‘T put compreassed ainr thrcugh the {Loat vent.
    If this doesn‘t work the idle passages have to be boiled out and possibly checked
    with a duct guage. Afuwaus oil o—rings when keplacing idle jets.
         After you have the idfie mixture initially adjusted you can bring out your
    Uni—Syn and adjust the Air Screws. Find the barrel which is pulZing the most
igcuum, adjust the {ffoating baii to the center fevel in the Uni—Syn using the
   fustment on the Uni~Sim, then adjust the other culinders to an equal vacuum

    the $mm wrench while holding the sonrew satationary with the atubby sorewdriver.
        Now readjust the mixture serews until you get the conmect adjustment.

  14‘ best to get your initiol adjustment around 1100 xpm and hope the distributor
  doean‘t intercede. Check the side to side batance each time you adjust the idfe
  screws. The mixtures can be a Llittle lean or a Llittle nich but they must be
  consistent from cylinder to cyZlinder.
        When you are {finished adjusting the mixture somrews back—of{ the idbe sonems
  evenlty to §50—950 xpm and check bafance. Adjust the rod that attaches to the right
  corb throttle arm unfess it will snap on without moving the throttle. You can

          You check the injection quantity with a narrow cc measuring vial which can be
    purchased from a pharmaceutical asupply house. Attach a wire anround it and hang
    it down to catch the gas as it squirts out of the accoferator pump jet. .85 cce for
    one complete thiottle action is about sight. The injection quantity can be varied
    by adjfusting the Zength of% the atroke using the nuts on the threaded shaft. The
    4ignition is turned of{f during this operation.. Start engine to burn out gas each time.
          The {ffoat Zlevel should afways be checked on new carpuretors. It‘s a good idea
    to chech the {ffvat Revel when a carburetor is nebuilt and new needle vafves are
    / ‘fatled. I1t‘s possible to check the float Llevel wmith the engine running using
    1 fffie toof P ?2?6a. This gauge champs onto the {Lloat bowl after you remove the
    2      bow? plug. Remember to use the fiber washer which comes with the guage and
    screwm the gauge in fainrty tight since if it Zeaks the {loat won‘t rise and gas will
    pour out of the carb when you start the engine. Afways wipe up any spilled gas
    after you instafl the guage and before you start the engine. 1f the fLloat Llevel
    is Lncorreet, you remove the Large brass plug over the float needle valuve and add
    or subtract height by using various thickness washers under the needfe value. The
    washers are available in the gasket hit. Porsche Mailoxder manufactures the quages.

            1f you spend a day tuning your carbs you‘ve gained experience and patience.
    You have atso changed the shape of your hnees.         Treat the needle seats with respect
    because they can‘t be replaced. When adjusting the mixture sckeus remember that
    they can afl be a Llittle Zean, on they can affl be a little nrich, but they should
    be one way or the other.                         CCC
