Default cosworth fuel pump question

an 044 uprated pump is 200lph and 5 bar but a 2.8v6 pump is 6 bar? may be a sill question but could you use v6 pump on a cosworth?

You could, but the engine would melt as soon as you opened the taps.

Just my humble assessment of the situation.

The pump just moves fuel, the pressure is created by the pressure regulator, and 044 will lock out around 10 bar from memory but flow rate goes down as pressure increases

Although an 044 is quite stable to around 7 bar. It also flows more than the 200lph that Bosch suggest.
