Keen to see how you get on with this Dom Smile

Let's hope it doesn't blow up on the first turn on the key.
That's still some way to go though.

What is the difference between a HIF turbo carb and NA?

Lots of info on google - basically block off all the tubes and areas where the air can come out, and swop the spindle seals around

RE: 1100 bulletproof.. - DomMINIque - 03-24-2017

Yep that's exactly it.

Simply put it's because of the pressure differential inside the carb vs outside and trying not to piss fuel out from all different holes where it shouldn't be coming from.

Some new carpets for the turbo car.

Some new bits for the turbo car:

Bought it as a package deal so not sure just yet how much of it all I'm going to use:

Dellorto DRLA36h Carb (Got an extra carb housing with it) - I have less than no knowledge on how these carbs actually work
Toyota plenum (No idea what car it came from but was part of the deal) fits onto the carb.
Audi TT intercooler
Garett GT1549 turbo with AR of 0.48

Nice buy Dom Smile

RE: 1100 bulletproof.. - Vinay-RS - 04-07-2017

Very cool purchase. Keen to see how the build goes. Not too many turbo minis around.

RE: 1100 bulletproof.. - Willy - 04-09-2017

Downdraft carb with a turbo, would be something new and interesting.

I have a random exhaust manifold if you are interested. Can't see that I will use it soon. . .
