Featured Replies

look to the picture! someone can tell me what sort of carby it is, on this Janspeed turbo kit, (under the carby is flat).

Can you tell me if it's a good carby?

Sorry the the attach file don't works, perhaps the picture was too big, but you can see it in my Gallery with the picture about the Blue 260Z 2+2 Janspeed kit.

It is an SU carb and I believe it to be a HIF8 which is a 2" intergrated fuel bowl model which is why the bottom is flat.

This was a very popular method of turbo charging cars in the seventies.

For the Australians here this method was used by a lot of Holden red motor owners particularly Torana GTR XUI owners.

thanks Alan for your reply

Is this carby was assembly on Jaguard?

And HI, i suppose means hitachi?

is it renowed to be a good carby?

Can't remember what the H stands for off hand, i've got it somewhere though, but it doesn't stand for Hitachi.

IF stands for intergrated float bowl.

It could be a Hitachi carb but i've never seen a 2" with the round bell top.

The reason i'm assuming it's a 2" carb is purely the fact that a 1 3/4" would not usually keep up with the turbo.
