    Fuel system for 180bhp pinto on bike throttle bodies???

    I'm converting my 2.1 pinto to bike throttle bodies and management. My question are
    *What pump or pumps are required?
    *Is a swirl pot needed?
    *What size fuel line?
    *Are aeroquip fittings needed or can jubilee clips be used??? The car will mainly be used on the road with the odd track day. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers

    you can use hose/jubilee clips. you dont need a swirl pot unless you find your getting fuel starvation through the corners, you wont need anything special in terms of fuel pump pretty much any injection fuel pump will cope with 180 bhp. most applications use 8mm fuel line

    Guess you will need some sort of fuel-pressure-regulator.

    Is there a specific pump you'd recommend?

    When I was looking most used bike fuel pumps as the bike throttle bodies don’t use a fuel return line

    No - most bikes dead head EFI just due to the extra plumbing required in little or no space. Bike pumps have reg. built into the 'in tank' installs - neat and compact. IMO a bike pump, even a Busa one, will be near its limit @ 180hp!
