    If you fit a wet kit to a k-jet car, how does the system cope with the drop in pressure while the fuel jet of the kit is operating?

    Do you run a seperate fuel pump or is the pressure drop only small, not enough to affect the metering head?

    Anybody know?

    Assuming your main fuel pump is healthy, I doubt there'd be a problem - the system operates at 5 bar, which should be more than adequate to run an extra injector -after all it can cope with the cold-start valve firing...

    Yeh just being reading up on it, you have to fit a regulator before the fuel jet to produce 5 - 10 psi only 1/2 a bar so nothing to worry about.

    Could build your own kit very cheaply, just where to buy the gas...
