On the fuel pump matter just use a Mikuni DF-44 vacuum fuel pump...they are very dependable and use no electricity I have used them on ultra lights for years... www.mikuni.com/fs-carburetor.htmlAttachments:

Sprocket, I'm sure they are great fuel pumps. But how much pressure will the produce? electronic fuel injectors work at a higher pressure.

Not sure...but I can't hold my thumb over the outlet...
Don't confuse fuel flow with fuel pressure...these are fairly high flow rate pumps and Mikuni make
much higher rates as well...
Do you know what the flow rate and fuel pressure rating is for the injector?
Do, you know what type they use?
There are all kinds of formulas for calculating this stuff...
Might not work, but if you are strapped for power this might be a workable alternative...

I'm not confusing flow rate and pressure.The flow rate is 25l/h. I haven't found the specs. on pressure yet but the pressure regulator regulates it 36.5 psi. So the pump has to supply more pressure than that. Any how this project might be on the back burner for a while. I just made a deal on a 2010 magnum. ;D

No, you are right there is NO way to get that out of a vacuum pump...
these pumps are relatively high volume low pressure...
2010 magnum - nice...
