twin carb set up
Turbo Mini Forums

recently got my mini no major plans as of yet
however its a stage 1 1275, ive been told to change the carb (hs4 currently) if i take it any further (inevitable)

however opposed to a bigger carb would it be cheaper to run 2 X HS4's?
only debating this as i have a spare carb that came with the car and twin carb manifolds arnt that much,

any real gains?
what would it be like in comparison to a single hif 44 or hs6 ?

a single hif44 will provide enough fuel and air for 200+ bhp. Why do you need more?

i dont realy need more but as i have 2 hs4s

is there any need to get a hif 44?

i dont realy need more but as i have 2 hs4s

is there any need to get a hif 44?

Are they twins complete with manifold and linkages? or just 2 hs4's?

I have twin hs4's on mine and it goes really well but mines a 66 mk1 and i wanted the old school tuning look.
A hiff 44 would be an easier option for tuning.(I have one complete with mg manifold if you want to swap?)

Presumably the other HS4 is a standard single carb. Usually the other half of a twin setup is a different model.

It can be done but it's a difficult job to relocate the float chamber, fit linkages etc.

I remember struggling for months to get two HS4s working back in the 80s. Don't go there when there are so many HIF44s available that will do a perfectly good job.

ok cheers

all i have is two carbs one on the car one in the box that came with it,

was just an idea, hif 44 looks like the way ill go for simplicity then, twin carbs look cool as fuck though
