Good evening chaps,

I'm getting near to having all the parts for my suck through super charger set up, and was just wondering if anyone could give me an idea of a needle i could use to get me going until i get down onto the rollers. I'm running and HIF44 and would rather it was on the rich side if possible

If it was me I'd try a bdd which is the standard metro turbo needle. If that didn't feel right I'd start fiddling.

BCA is good for lots of boost.

In my experience bdd is far too lean.

What kit do you have

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.
VEMS + 12 PSI + Liquid Intercooler = Small Bore FUN!

I do have some measurements at the station points somewhere and mapped my old needle against a 1275 and then looked for close standard matches.
The thing that everyone is point to is that they are not standard. You will need a custom profile.
The companies peddling the kits will probably have something close-ish.
But you will need some rolling road time with an operator that will mod a needle
for you.

There you go then. Buy a BDD and a BCA and you'll be good to go. It's so long since I fiddled wit hcarbs I forget all the needles I tried (well started with - they all got attacked with a file!)

Thanks for the replies chaps.

I live quite close to Minisport, and will be putting it on the rollers soon after i get it going, and just need a needle that will get me started and let them sort it from there.

Please don't take it there. Go somewhere that knows forced induction.
