Hello yet again,
Just thought I'd ask a silly question, but to start with, I'll set the scene.
A couple of days ago, I was round a friends house when I noticed his brother
changing the engine in his mini for one from a MG Metro Turbo(Do you lot over
the pond know what there are, I know I haven't a clue when you talk about some
of 'your' home cars). Anyway, I noticed the engine is fed by a single SU HIF
44 carb, and the turbo unit is quite small, So......If a manifold could be
found to accomodate this carb, wouldn't it be possible to Turbocharge my ol'
MK IV Spitty. I wouldn't really expect AC Cobra type performance, but having
the ability to overtake long lorries without having to wait for a clear 3 mile
straight stretch of road would be nice, I'd like the sound of the whine aswell.
Anyway(I tend to say(write) 'anyway' quite alot really), if anyone has any
ideas I would appreciate it, TIA.
Rich.
