Ignore everything I'd previously said about the ProG4 part.
I have very little experience (read: "none") with the KJW 1911, so I can not give you specifics on compatibility, but from what I have read, they are NOT Marui compatible. I couldn't tell you what would and wouldn't fit.
You will need to research this further before you put any additional consideration in to parts.
If you want a 100% Marui compatible CO2 1911... then I can only suggest to wait for the Inokatsu.

No need to apologise! I guess I didn't explain myself clearly eariler before, sorry!
Ah well, I guess I'll drop the idea
I'll stick with upgrading my MEU to shoot as hard as possible with green gas.
As a side note, I did a little Christmas shopping today; upgrade KM high flow valves to my MEU mags and Guarder gas routers (I have a feeling they provide a better air seal...even if not; they look MUCH more durable than the original TM ones). I can get 14 bbs out of each mag (with slide locking back after last shot) with the following gas-related upgrades only:
SD nozzle, NB 6.03 112.5mm Tightbore, NB dyna-piston head (used the stiffer floating valve spring that came with it) and NB hop rubber; plus the guarder gas router and KM high flow valve for the mags.
Shooting speed was around 2-2.5 bbs per sec. Unfortunately I don't have a chrono, so I don't know what the FPS variation is.
My previous setup with the stock valves and floating valve spring (all other upgrades kept) allowed me to shoot 18 bbs with the same shooting speed. With only a 4 bbs decrease in capacity and I assume a significant FPS increase; in my opinion those KM high flow valves are worth it even for thin single stack mags since it'll allow your pistol to hit farther ranges and still maintain enough bb capacity for skirmishing.
Btw; I've tried googling for an english manual (or instructions) for the KM high flow valves in relation to the shims and the o-ring provided in the package. I understand the shims should allow the valve button to sit higher so that the hammer can strike such that the valve will open more to allow more gas to flow through the mag to the gun. Does anyone have any idea how the shims can be installed and what does the extra o-ring do? It's also really confusing that the 2 KM valves I got from Tokyo Model Company (they only had 2) came with a bit of grease smeared on the valve opening and came with extra o-rings whereas the one I got from DENTrinity had no grease and no extra o-ring...
