Although I am rather fond of Mini's and am helping a friend in the restoration of a 1960 998 which has been in his family since 1965 that isn't actually why I registered on this forum.

I am currently building a Mk2 Ford Fiesta and rather than removing the 1100 Valencia and dropping in a 2.0 zetec which takes all of changing an engine mount I have decided to turbo charge it using pressurised bike carbs and a Garrett T15 and you guys all seem to be knowledgable in these sorts of things.

I look forward to picking your brains!

Hello and welcome. Not much experiance of using bike carbs for turbos on here. In theory they will work. With the engine you have surely injection would be the way forward.

Of course on here the HIF Metro Turbo carb is king.
