Hello, I am looking for a new carb for my Freestyle Kit car and am unsure what will be best.

Do I go for a HIF44 which is on it already just knackered or do I go for a webber??

I am very unsure!

PLEASE HELP!!

Cheers

It depends on the power of your engine. I'd have said for a 1275, standard to mildly modified, an HIF would be best. For a highly modified 1275 upwards I'd go for the Webber. But remember you may have to fit a bulkhead box and it won't be too fuel efficient!

Bearing in mind Danny's engine is sat at the back, he doesn't have a standard bulkhead to worry about. It sticks out of the back, here's mine before I put the SVA cover on, ignore the red lines the image was for another forum explaining fail areas.

And here's after the SVA cover

Yeah thats why I said MAY have to! I wasn't sure on the design of a freestyle. Looks like fun though!!

you still havent told us your engine spec

you might need a webber

[muddybuggies-com]

Right My engine spec,

its a 1275cc that has +30 on the pistons when I took the head off, so I think that made it a 1293cc. and thats it i think.

I have 1:5 rockers too.

thats about it I think

Hmm so you could go for either really with that spec. I personally would go for the HIF44. Try burlen to recon your HIF

You'll need a Webber with a proper air scoop.

I have emailed them... do you know how much they charge?

Any other companies that do recons?

Cheers
