Hi Question 

 

would I be right in thinking that most 1275 or1380

get about 120 HP and thats about all you can get 

and that most people use a Hif44

 

If the answer to this is yes I think I know why

 

Thanks

No you an get alotttt more, some boys on mini turbos are getting 200+

What are you talking turbo or supercharged?

[grumpy dad]

Hi

supercharged

200+ with a HIF 44

[Turbo Nick]

supercharged with 200hp, not a ******* chance in my opinion.

 

turbocharged, yes definitley.

[kezzkitkat]

No way you could get around 150 mark with a supercharger
Turbo is the way to go for monster hp
I know some one who had a 1380 turbo making over 220 but to be honest I wouldn't trust a 1380 rarther go with a sensible 1293 possible up to a 1330

Apparently a hif44 is good up to 200hp

[Turbo Nick]

A HIF44 is still good at 300hp, although that's with a bit of nitrous too.

 

There are plenty of people running over 200hp with a HIF44.

 

Kezzkitkat, that Edens car by any chance?

Hi

well my understanding is that a HIF 44 will not flow more than 120 ish horsepower 

this is on a none charged motor

Can I ask a stupid question what is HIF 44

[welshdan]

Mine makes 180 at just 16 psi. Turbo, standard turbo hif44. Not sure why people mess about with superchargers on an a series, kits are highly priced, most are inefficient.
Very good power can be gained from a turbo a series with relitively little financial outlay

[kezzkitkat]

Hif 44 carb can be used with really any output of hp just require the carb to be tuned, modified needle to suit your engine which is not a 5 minute job ,
Take a look on turbo minis about the hif 44 it the most common used unless you speak to one chap who doing a 7 port turbo engine which is bonkers
