Fuel pump

B200E fuel pump, which probably means there's a problem.

Pass. What I can tell you is that K-Jet runs a much higher pressure than the EFI systems (although I'd not like to put a figure on it). Thinking about it, it ought to be ok actually, since the pressure is set by a regulator, not the pump, and I don't think it's high enough to overcome the EFI regulator. I'd monitor the system very carefully for the first few minutes though...just in case.

There is no problem to use K-Jet pump as far as I know, that is why there is fuel pressure requlator

Also more capasity is not going to hurt, comes handy when you fit those bigger injectors and crank up fuel pressure, K-Jet pump is pumping very good amount of l/min even with higher pressures, where these others are already struggling.

I would take what I get cheap

Ok, with some pumps, you may need to modify bit of clamping or hoses, nothing massive though.

Yeah many people are using twin-K-Jet pumps in turbo engines with EFI so that shouldn't be a problem..

As jtbo said, that's why there is the fuel pressure regulator. Though I would check/renew the fuel lines while at it if putting something like K-Jet pump in.

Ok, cool

I just didn't know what the tolerance was on the FPR...I bet (like a wastegate) it has a maximum 'bleed' capacity. If it's done all the time, that's good enough for me

cheers

Yeah well you are right about that. I don't know how much the stock fpr will handle.

It will handle at least one K-Jet pump as that has been done
