With no relief (such as the regulator that is no longer there, shunting to a return line) I don't know what sort of pressure would develop, considering the electric pump would essentially be blocked all the time. (heck, some pumps use less power when they are blocked, but even so, the heat can build up more)
I really should do some more experiments before I spend too much time on this... see what kind of pressure the pump develops, current use blocked and unblocked, and whether the engine needs the electric pump at all.
