HIF6, or HIF44
Turbo Mini Forums

I was told that my carb's a HIF6 Turbo carb, or a HIF44 carb
How do i tell as im still in the Noob progress ?

Thats the same as the cable brackets as the carbs that where on the early metro turbos. But the throttle cam on the butterfly spindle looks like a later HIF44.

I've never seen a HIF6.

HIF38 is 38mm (approx 1.5")
HIF44 is 44mm (approx 1.75")

A HIF6 must be a pretty small carb LOL!

Unless it's a special designation from burlens / SU to cover the sealed units, I'm not sure though?

No such thing as an HIF6, there is however an HS6 which is an old style side float bowl 1 3/4" carb.

That makes sense; HS2 was 1.25", HS4 was 1.5" and HS6 therefore was 1.75" - clearly this is where the confusion comes about.
Bet it wasn't someone on this forum told you it was a HIF6 LOL!

The early HIF carbs were HIF4 & HIF6.

They were fitted to MGBs and Rover V8s in the early seventies.

I've never seen a HIF on anything built before 1980-ish - certainly don't remember them on any early Rovers?

i've heard of HIF6's before, sure they came as a twin setup on some cars.

I thought it was HIF38 and HIF44.

Apparently there was also an HIF 7!

1 7/8" choke size. I'm not sure what it was used on.

I dont think that they are any different from the 38/44s.

Ive got a pair of HIF7s i think but they have half the bits missing unfortunalty

Indeed, the Hif 7's were on straight 6 jag's, i have also heard folklore of an HIF8...

I've got a pair of large SU's off an old wolsey 6 they are at least 1"3/4 possibly 2" will have to measure them up

They have intergral float chambers

Never heard of HIF8's!? There were HD8's and HS8's were fitted to Rollers and Rover 2000's

I was going to slag that guy off who said it might be a HIF6.
but if you look in the moss cat, your see there was a HIF6.
So mine's a HIF44 then :)
Might of seen a durr Question, but had to find out for my self. thanks tho.
Thanks alot.

The MGB used HIF4s. They are essentially the same as the HIF38 but have the HS style manifold flange and use a HS4 type dashpot .

I have a pair for my mini but no linkage as yet.

has anybody fitted the twin hif 44 setup from a range rover onto their mini?

You'd need to be making mega bananas to make it worthwhile

Every day is a school day ...........

How fast and how expensive ...... the same question...

yeah i bet. I've never seen it done. Never heard of a twin HIF38 setup!? if there were one that would maybe be more suited to the mini engine.

i was looking at twin HIF44 at one point but then i came back to earth and thought thats tooo much carb. HIF38 twins would be nice.
