the computer will pump a stoichiometric 14:1 air-fuel ratio. unless you have devised a method of drawing significantly more air into the engine, trying to flow more fuel is a waste of time!

hi, as per my original question, all i wanted to know what the original vn pump flows , so that when i find some used ones i dont get one that flows less than the standard.

 

[jules]

no idea

why don't you just make sure to buy the right type of pump and stop worrying about flow rates?

 

[krawczuk]

why buy when i might be able to get ,a used one or dont want to get a new one ?

what about if i had several efi pumps that are suitable? flow more than a vn one ? why then go out an d buy one ?

just go off the power then. the VN made about 130 flywheel kW. if the pump you are going to use is off a KE laser making 50 kW then it won't flow enough.

that would work as a rough guide.

ah theres a little thing called a fuel pressure regulator

to an extent, doesnt matter what pump you have, the regulator has the final say

i have a hi pressure pump for vl feeding my series2 vn v6.
just get a pump from a wrecker and bobs your uncle.
actually i have one, which state you in?

ah theres a little thing called an adjustable fuel pressure regulator......
