- Injection line would inject at 300 bars. How to manage this ?

- Injection pump is build to have some kind of resistance from the injector for timing build up.
Would the lack of injector compromise the reliability of the pump ?

Obviously I am starting this hypothetical project on an older generation engine with indirect injection because they are cheaper and available in N/A form which makes adaptation more straight forward.
