Using a turbo carb for n/a?
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi chaps, been a while since I've posted.

Due to many changes in circumstance, I'm goning to have to put my t2 on the shelf for a while ( never finished rebuilding the car after it scraped the crank)

And I'm looking to run the vehicle na. I'm really hoping I can use my current hif44.....

Now I've done some research and can't really find a reason why not, although I could easily be mistaken as articles relating to this tend to focus on using na for turbo application.

Can anyone think of a reason that I havnt noticed?

I figure I can leave the breather blocked off. Open the float vent back to atmosphere and use the correct gasket to block the float chamber inlet (the one that's in plenum sorry can't remember what it's called)

Cheers for any help

I'm sure it'll work fine as is as it works off boost.

Haha yeah, I've got to change the spring too.

Cheers for the confidence boost guys.

If you think about it the Turbo carb operates both under vacuum and boost, so there's no reason why you can't just run it in NA form.
