HIF44 vs Turbo Carb
Turbo Mini Forums

Now i'v had another ebay blunder and bought what was described in the listing as a turbo carb, removed from a metro turbo. It came today and im 99.9% sure its an NA HIF44, which can be converted to a turbo carb i know.

My question is, should I send it back and get a refund or clean it up and use a rebuild kit to make it suitable for the turbo engine?

It cost me £25 if that makes any difference at all in the scheme of things?

I'v taken a picture of it, so if someone could confirm whether its an HIF or turbo carb I would be grateful. I used the other picture i found on here to try and distinguish whether it was or not which you might also like to use.

Cheers guys!

Yes, thats a rather scabby looking NA carb.

£25 isn't a terrible price but I would be sending the seller an email asking for some coin back as the item isn't what you paid for.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

This sound like a decent response?

Hi,

The carb came today but is not a turbo carburettor. It is an HIF44 carb for a naturally aspirated engine.
I can tell this because it does not have an anti-run on valve connection or a part throttle lean-off pipe. It also has the engine breather pipe which a turbo carb does not have.

I thought i would contact you first rather than go through ebay to try and resolve this problem.

Obviously a turbo carburettor is worth more than an NA carb so i'v paid over the odds for what i'v received. Therefore, I would either like a partial refund, keeping the carb or a full refund in exchange for said item

Sounds right enough. Make sure you don't get stung for fee's posting it back though.
