Is there anyway i can modify my standard carb to suit a turbo conversion? or is there any other alternative carb i can use? Because its nearly imposible to find a hif44 carb here in nz >.< |

Not sure if you can rebuild an n/a one as turbo, but Turbo Phil is listing a genuine Turbo carb on his website. He also stocks genuine rebuild kits.

i converted mine, basically reverse the seals on the n/a carb and either use the 'T' mod/ bypass or drill an air passage i had to change the throttle cable thing too... maybe something else :)
Yes i moved to the darkside |

INIW - when you say "standard" (the one you have now) is it a standard HIF or an HS ?

I managed to pick up a carb, manifold and plenum on fleabay, was 80quid, but with shipping came to a total of 155quid (excluding import tax), will have to think twice about bringing in stuff. Glad I got the carb, noted quite a few differences between the NA HIF44 and the turbo variant.

From memory the issues are how to pressurise the float chamber (as it's external rather than integral), fitting the plenum so the restrictor ring still works, and sealing the throttle spindle and possibly the jet itself. Hopefully someone more knowlegable about carbs will correct me. Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ??? |

I would have thought that the seal between the float bowl and the tube to the jet could be tricky to seal if it was pressurised. Isambard Kingdom Brunel said:
