Which fuel pump for a st170 on gsxr 1000 bodies?
What flow rate does my pump need to have to run this. Iv bought a adjustable reg and just trying to work out what pump is needed. Iv seen some sytec
135 litres per hour @ 3 bar with a 10 bar max and a bigger one at 204 litres per hour.

Hmm, I would suggest a Bosch 044.. however I have the same set up and have used a cheapo blue thing off ebay.. it has been ok apart from the noise it
makes!

Stock gsxr1000 injectors are around 240cc/min at 100% duty cycle (at standard 43.5psi fuel pressure). This is good for 150bhp+
Given that there are 4 injectors this comes out at 960cc of fuel per min, so just less than 1 litre per minute, or 60litres per hour.
So on that basis 135bhp/hour would be more than enough. Generally it seems that fuel pumps are overspecified on lots of vehicles. My guess is that
the manufacturers overdo it to help when we run with flat batteries and blocked filters and that having a small number of parts across their vehicle
range saves some cash.
