	Hi all, I need to select a high pressure fuel pump and a pressure regulator to use on an upcoming project. I'll be using injectors from a 1.4 corsa Z14XEP engine, which I believe is about a 20HP per cyl engine. I need a high pressure pump from a fuel swirl pot and a pressure regulator on the end of the fuel rail. But I do not yet know what fuel pressure rating I should be choosing for the regulator. The engine is a small capacity, supercharger engine that will be running about 6 or 7psi of boost. Aiming for around 70BHP (but tons of torque hopefully) Can anyone advise?

I would say something adjustable between 3 and 5 bar, then if the car is running lean at max pressure, then it's bigger injectors, or if it's over fuelling at minimum, then it's smaller injectors, the only injector control you have, is size, fuel pressure and duration, duration is done in software, no expert mind

	Whilst searching for parts for a future project, I found some 'universal' fuel injection pumps on ebay for around £50. Pressure regulators can be had for around a score
