turbo carb setup
Turbo Mini Forums

hiya all

HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'v just installed a turbo engine and haveing trouble with the carb setup.

I currently got a HIF44 carb but can't get the fuel to run through it. Carb has been cleaned and re-placed fuel float...I have a fuel pressure regualor, which I need to connect, but havn't cause I havn't got a return setting on my fuel tank.

Please can any1 shed some light on the subject...

DO I NEED A DIFFERENT CARB OR MUST THE REGULAR BE FITTED TO PRESSURIZE SYSTEM..

the regulator must be fitted and you need an elctric fuel pump

Electrical pump has been fitted, fuel to carb ok, but NOT throught it..

there are various hifs, varios furl regulators, and various fuel pumps

you need the 'turbo' HIF (or convert an na version to turbo spec)

you need the metro/lotus 1:1 rising rate fuel reg with fuel return going to the tank

you need the metro turbo 'roller vane' high pressure fuel pump (or equiv)

Good luck

You need to plumb in the proper fuel regulator and return to tank. Until you do this any amount of changes to the carb is a waste of time.

What do you mean "NOT through it" ?

Is it easy to convert the HIF44 and if so what do I need..

Do a search, this has been discussed at length with pictures.

We have been searching most of the afternoon, with no joy.

My Mini build diary

the turbo carb has a groove in the aliminium top bit just under the black plastic screw on the very top

a non turbo carb doesnt.

also have you got a high pressure fuel pump?

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

If you have fuel in the float bowl then to just start the car you can forget about the fuel supply. With the float bowl full and no fuel coming out of the jet I can only think that there is either a blockage between the float bowel and jet or the needle you have is too fat and blocking the jet.

Can I ask how you are checking that no fuel is coming out when cranking? Have you tried turning it over and squirting eazy start down the carb? Does it fire then?
