Manifold conversions.

[Chris Morriss]

Does anyone have any experience in modifying manifolds to take EFI
injectors?

I wonder if anyone tell me if there is any source in the UK for adaptors
to weld into a carb type manifold so that EFI injectors can be fitted.
I do have the dimensions from Weber Alpha, so I could have some machined
up and TIG welded into the manifold, but it would be less hassle to be
able to buy them ready made.
I know that such things are available in the US, having seen them in the
book by Jeff Hartman.

The manifold I want to modify isn't a carb one, but the one that is
normally used with the Bosch mechanical injection (K-jetronic) on the
Renault V6.  (on this version of the engine, the mechanical injectors
are in the head, not the manifold as on the EFI versions of the engine.)
The manifold has two plenum chambers and cross-over inlet runners.  I am
informed that the flow on this is much better than on the normal
Renault/Volvo/Peugot EFI manifold.  (I would use two throttle bodies,
one at the end of each plenum chamber.  It's to convert an Alpine-
Renault GTA to fuel injection).

I know where the injectors should be fitted on the manifold, it's just
the adapter bits I need.

Thanks for any advice,
