can you turn a n/a hif44 carb into a turbo carb ?
Turbo Mini Forums

pretty much as the name says really , was just a thought i had last night while clearing all the snow off the drive lol

have a search......

one day boost will be mine!

yes you can. i found it on the search function have a look. think it may even be in the FAQ section

The turbo build has finally started

thats brilliant if i defently can , ive been searching for a metro carb with no luck , and i can get my hands on a cheap hif44 xD

Try this link. Somewhere down it there is a rough guide of replacement parts needed to convert to forced induction applications

so as i understand , all you need to do is buy a turbo carb rebuild kit and then rebuild an N/A carb with that kit and there you have a carb capable of running boost through it ?

you need to run the t peice mod on the float bowl ( search again covered many times)
or you can actually drill the air ways into the na carb body like i did, they are already part drilled you just need to go the extra 5mm or so

if your going to use the metro turbo inlet manifold you will have to redesign the throttle cable and choke cable arrangement because of clearance issues

Yes i moved to the darkside
