    so time to get my butt into gear and get my race car back together.[:$]
    Engine and head been fully rebuilt by GasNGears and faults found by Mart where sorted by him .
    As fuelling was the cause of piston damage from detonation I need to get it right this time .
    Squashed fuel lines could have contributed but as I’m aiming for good numbers from my Kjet set up do I upgrade the under body fuel pump for a 044 Motorsport pump and incar swirl pot ?
    Or just stick a new pump or checked pump in the original under floor swirl pot ?

    Thoughts please
    Thanks

    Do a flow test on your existing setup? To have a quantifiable result is always better than a thousand guesses

    And of course run a fuel pressure and AFR gauge, goes without saying..................

    Check lift pump in tank as well, I ruined a new main pump because of faulty lift pump..

    Couple things.

    Lack of fuel pressure and flow is likely to result in a lean out and PI before det.

    Unless your K Jet pump is tested and it determined it cannot supply control and delivery pressure, fitting another pump because of its lable or brand, will not solve or pre-empt any fears.
