   The fuel pump you recommended uses hose clamps and the outlet side is
   short and can only accommodate one clamp, I'm going to see if I can
   find some with NPT or AN fittings. Incidently, That $100.00 pump looks
   exactly like the one in Summit Racing Catolog for $167.00.
   Didn't you get fuel flow readings when you had the 13B on the dyno? I
   need a ball park figure for when I flow my needle valve. Karibian

   It is 25 gallons an hour full power and 10 gallons an hour cruise.

   I don't see how that needle valve is going to give uniform flow in
   all those tubes. I can't see inside of it. Can you make a sketch?

   Karibian,

   Good to see you are forging ahead with the mechanical fuel
   injection. It looks like a low-pressure system with no return flow.
   With six injectors you should get good fuel atomization, even with
   low pressure.

   If this works, it will provide others with a template for a simple
   fuel solution with cockpit mixture adjustment.

   Btw, is this an RX8 engine? I thought two of the injectors on the
   RX8 were right on the housings?


   Regards,

   Gordon.
