Hi. Just wondering if anyone is running a Mikuni HSR on their car? Are they a worthwhile upgrade and what performance benefit have you got? Thanks. |

I am but it is on a supercharged setup. I am happy with mine but took custom needle profiling and a larger acc pump Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk |

It is a HSR 45 - Here is an old pic of it. I have since tidied up the engine bay so ignore the mess! |

Thanks, MINI66. Very cool. I read your post, regarding swapping from the HS6 to the Mikuni, if you had a NA mini would you put a Mikuni on it? |

I do have a na mini as well but am running a 45 weber because they are the coolest. But seriously, I would run one on an na if originality isn't an issue for you. Wide open throttle body without the piston and bridge restriction of an su. It is not a bolt on and drive away prospect though. It is not a cv carb so most of the tuning is to cure transition to load lean stumble. I paid $850 for mine with the custom oversize acc pump so they are not cheap ![]() ![]() Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk |

Which one do you enjoy driving the most? And why? Attached a pic of Floyd's first day at work, pre working from home times. ![]() Sent from my SM-A305YN using Tapatalk |

Thanks mate I only finished the build of the white one a week ago, so I am still tuning the weber. It goes pretty hard off the line at the moment but seems to be running out of puff up top. AFR is good up top but not revving out past 5.5rpm too well. More jetting to do. So I only have about 15km driving on that engine/car but the bark from the weber is louder that I thought it would be (sounds awesome. I don't get that bark from the Mikuni). This car is for my wife so it was supposed to be pretty tame and has bulk sound proofing and only 1 & 7/8 maniflow twin box exhaust. Is really smooth and quiet for a mini. The silver one will always be my preferred driver. It has minimal sound proofing, it is sitting on old cones so the ride is rough, has 2 inch single box exhaust so is loud as hell and at 12-13 psi around town the torque steer is there. My point is, neither of these cars are my daily, I like the raw / loud experience of the mini and I like horsepower so the silver one is my fav. My daily is a HSV Maloo 6 speed manual. It is cammed an goes pretty hard but not the same experience. Is floyd an 850? Looks like it by the grill. My first car was a 1961 850. cheers Rick |

You are correct Floyd is a '63 850. He's got a 1098. I've just got 500ks on him so far. Had a noisy generator bush that scared the daylights out of me. Fixed with help from the guys on the forum. I'm now thinking that my hs4 will be adequate. The Mikuni would be over kill. And I am trying to keep him semi original. Thanks for the reply. Sent from my SM-A305YN using Tapatalk |

No worries. Yeah the su is your best bet I reckon. Very forgiving carb. Piece of cake to tune on na engine. I am running the carbs I have as I like the challenge. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk |

Gafmo is still running a 44 HSR on my 1412 stroker, in his Mini van. I had to drill the main jet out to 2.4mm. Not seen him here for a while though. ![]() |

Yeah must be a Siamese port thing as mine is drilled to 3mm. That was for a target afr of 11 though Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk |
