Weber on a D?

[ALEXAKOS]

Hey Guys, You may have followed my restoration of 5992 thread.

On my quest for mods I was having second thoughts about the fuel system.

I met with an experienced Renault Alpine Racing mechanic the other day, and I mentioned my interest in getting the D a bit more "Sports" in to the "car".

The open 997 Porsche exhaust I bought, will help a bit and I am also considering a fuel feed upgrade. I know most of you think that Carbs are a rollback and not an upgrade.

Read many interesting EFI reports to stick to the quite stable and safe K-jet system. But since my K-jet system needs a serious overhaul... might as well exchange.

This is what I found as an alternative:


3X double Weber 42 IDA's on our PRV.

How many say go and how many say no?

Looks SWEET to me!

One thing with Webbers though is that it seems like they constantly need adjustment.

I say go for it!

@James - That's GREAT!

If you understand how they work, go for it. I personally don't understand the K-jet system at all, and I don't know much about carbs either. When my engine is on it's way out, I've got a spare 4G63 turbo engine just sitting around that I think would fit nicely

Oh HELL yes! I was wondering when somebody would put Webers on a DeLorean.

@ James - Brilliant.

LOL@ James
(GTOTHB!)


I was weaned on old school and have seen Webbers are great carbs, the linkage can be a bit to keep adjusted but the carbs themselves are no problem. But, I have to say a three duces on our PRV is a um, waste...
Looks cool to me tho!
