I think you need to go check out some of the established knowledge on the reputable WVO forums. What you are saying is absolutely not correct and suggests you lack a basic grounding in what you're trying to do.
What you suggest would work to some extent (still not best practice, however) if you only operated your car in daylight hours in desert conditions.
You absolutely need to raise the temperature of your WVO prior to the IP. And you need to raise it even further before it hits the injectors. (It needs to be done in two stages because the optimal injection temp for the oil will degrade seals inside the IP).
The overriding problem with WVO use is not dealing with flow or combustion quality as you seem to be seeing it, but with ensuring you (a) have well-filtered and water-free WVO that has come from a suitable source, and (b) that you heat this good quality oil to sufficient temps to ensure it's at a viscosity similar to diesel when it goes through the injector.
I do applaud your creativity and drive in putting that rig together. But you need to find a better-quality source of info on WVO. The things you are saying were discredited five years ago in the mainstream WVO community.
