Okay, I know it's been discussed before as MS providing extra juice to an intact K-jet system. However, this (http://forums.turbobricks.com/showthread.php?t=65685) thread just gave me an idea.
Someone in said thread mentioned that there's approximately 11 feet of K-jet hard fuel line to replace. What if one replaced the 4 lines going to the injectors with ONE line and a common fuel rail? Since K-jet is constant pressure, and the injectors are quite different, it might be difficult to adapt a LH-style fuel rail to K-jet injectors. But one could quite easily add a B230F intake and LH injectors, rail and FPR.
Okay, so now you're asking why? If you're going to all that trouble, why not just rip the whole K-jet mess out in the first place? Well...why not indeed. Kindof for the same reason someone would use K-jet in the first place and piggyback MS. It would definitely be faster than a full MS install (for the uninitiated, anyway). The only thing I would wonder about is fuel pressure at the rail from 4 K-jet injector outputs. Not enough or too much?
Anyway...thoughts?
