so, I'm wondering if anyone is using the factory KA fuel pump on there CA motor? because I was planning on using it, on a pretty much factory setup, but I figure I'll ask to see if there's gonna be a problem with it suppling enough fuel. I don't see why it wouldn't work unless I up the boost or change injectors, but I don't know the exact LPH #'s.

stock, it should be ok.

i dont know how much of a difference there is in lph of a ca pump vrs ka.

but in honesty there is no reason a ka pump shouldnt be able to supply enough fuel for a STOCK setup on stock boost.

then again, a 255 walbrough is so cheap, why risk it.

yes it is...than you need a regulator, and a gauge, and all the extra headache to setup(which isn't bad, Im just lazy).

so, that's why I'm asking about the stock stuff, thanks.

there is a difference between pressure and volume.
