Kenny Roberts eh!. I bought a brand new 2006 R1 50th Anniversary Special Edition. Mint to this day with an original 6,500 miles on it. It's all original with the exception of a rear fender eliminator kit.
Before my time (And after his), but there's something special about this nasty nasty bike that was built solely to be nasty nasty.

That is the meanest sounding bike I have heard. Period.

Tyler your add states that the return "lines"(plural) are 16 1/2 feet long and that the filter in the picture is an option for the return line kit. Does your return line kit come in two separate lengths of hose to incorporate the new filter? I was asking for thoughts on the filter being a metal screen vs a paper screen due to the remarks in your post about the return line kit with the filter. Kind of leads me to believe that the filter would be installed on the return side of the fuel system because the remarks don't specifically say that the filter is a stock location replacement. My apologies if I confused anyone
Yep, he did not distinguish... was confusing...an d now, we know 
You are absolutely right. I apologize for that. I should have been much more explicit and specific in the description of the filter setup.

I am confused...is the filter option for the return line or is it a replacement for the feed side existing fuel filter....
Then if what Jason stated as a fact, we are pushing thru metal instead of paper?
Seems to be a very attractive price for the return line kit
Filter option is for the feed line existing filter. The Racetronix full kit is priced out of the ball park for most. I talked to Tyler about selling just the return line...as most guys are running between 10.5 to 11.5...so the return is all they need for the bigger pumps. The DW fuel filter and return line will be on my car as fast as USPS can get it here. I talked to Tyler earlier about selling a fuel pump with the kits as well. He can expand on this.
^^^THIS. I owe Brad all the credit for this idea. After this batch of return line kits, I'll order some line to make complete fuel line kits to sell as well. I think it'll be something like 3 different options; 1) Return line kit, 2) Return line and fuel filter kits, 3) Complete fuel line kit so the filter he shows is to replace the stock filter? I guess that was what Jason was asking about the filter-metal vs paper. It's better to push thru paper, but, in this case, we are pushing thru metal? maybe to handle E85 flow?
Can't get E85 around here and I think I would have to have a pretty big still to make enuf to keep up
Yes, stock filter. It doesn't matter the filter element, it matters the available surface area and restriction of that given surface area. The filter is a 10 micron filter and will work with gasoline or E85. Tyler your add states that the return "lines"(plural) are 16 1/2 feet long and that the filter in the picture is an option for the return line kit. Does your return line kit come in two separate lengths of hose to incorporate the new filter?

The filter is an option to replace the fuel filter on the FEED line of the car.

Is the line just a rubber liner or is it synthetic?
Synthetic. Braided nylon hose. E-85 compatible Not a bad idea. I've always heard that you pull fuel through a metal screen and push fuel through a paper filter. Thoughts?
Not sure what you want in terms of my thoughts. You stated a fact. Not sure where to go from there?

New Return Line kits from RPS. For those people who want to upgrade your fuel lines, but don't want to spend $500 on a setup, this return line kit comes with a new -6AN return line and adapter fitting for the pressure regulator. We all know the stock feed line will take you to the 10s, so if that works for you, this kit was made to save you money by offering ONLY what you NEED. Installin g this return line, along with making sure the sending unit return line tubes are ported out (if need be) will allow you to run larger fuel pumps on the stock feed lines, along with swapping to an E85 setup if you desire. Fuel return lines are 16.5 feet ( 16-1/2 )long. They come with; metric to AN adapter fitting with aluminum crush washer that mounts at the bottom of the stock style fuel pressure regulator. One side of the line has a 90degree fitting on it, and the otherside has a straight -6AN hose end on it. If you do not have a sending unit that has AN fittings on it, we can remove the straight AN fitting and include worm-gear hose clamps, so that you can slide the nylon hose over the return line hose barb on the sending unit. If you want this done we reduce the cost by $10. These kits are $150 shipped to the lower 48 states right now. We have 3 more kits available and IN STOCK READY TO SHIP. KIT DOES NOT COME STANDARD WITH PICTURED FUEL FILTER. PLEASE READ BELOW FOR FURTHER DETAILS.OPTION AL: New fuel filter (same as pictured) with adapter fittings so that you can install a new E85-compatible fuel filter. These DeatschWerks fuel filters have a 3 year warranty, are 10 micron stainless steel filter elements, and have less than 1 psi of backpressure rise-over 40sq inches of surface area. Fuel filter add-on is $140 SHIPPED to the lower 48 states. All filters are drop-shipped from DeatschWerks to reduce overall costs (by not having to pass on the extra cost to have it shipped to us and then shipped to you). For questions or orders, please call or text Tyler at 707 362 6030 or email at 1987GN@gmail.comThank you,Tyler

Do you watch the show "Tales from the Tour Bus" by Mike Judge? It is on Cinemax. It is basically crazyass stories of old country music singers from back in the day that get told in animation form...Think of Drunk History, but in an animated form.. Anyway, Mike Judge said on one of the episodes that Hank Hill's mother on the show was played by country music star Tammy Wynette (Sp?) who was on a few episodes that they did about George Jones. After watching that show, I firmly believe people underestimate how fucking crazy country people from the South are...the shit that they talk about on that shit is fucking ridiculous.. Like Jerry Lee Lewis owning a gun that Machine Gun Kelly owned, and shooting it off in the middle of the night after everyone was asleep since they had been on a 3/4-day bender. Since Jerry was the only person up, and he wanted company, he thought it'd be a good idea to shoot off the gun to wake people up. He ended up shooting up over $50k worth of dentures in the Dentist Office nextdoor to where he was staying. Also...just about every major Country Music star from back in the day has shot someone. When I saw "shot someone" I mean they literally shot someone. I think George Jones was the only person who shot at someone multiple times, and missed. That show is fucking ridiculous. Rap artists ain't got shit on old-school Country Music stars...

Dude,.... that last post has damn near everything in it wrong (I think a couple of them were clerical mistakes though). You started to pull it back, then lost it again at the very end.
My response in the other thread was what I meant.
What, specifically, was wrong? Genuinely curious now.
If I was wrong, I'd truly like to know why the AFR becomes fatter?
I'll delete that last response and past the other one.
EDIT:
Here is my other response. Everything I'm basing this off is from either the Kinsler catalog, or conversations with Kinsler's tech people...altho ugh the fuel rail analogies are more my own descriptions, but I'm not exactly thrilled with their wording, but I think it "works" for the point I was attempting to articulate....
If the return line and fuel pressure regulator are free-flowing and have little-to-no restriction through them, then the engine should theoretically not have a fatter AFR. If the fuel regulator or the return line is not able to freely move the volume of flow provided by the pump, that fuel is now restricted in its' movement, and begins to "back up" as it experiences a flow restriction. The fuel becomes stuck in the fuel rail and needs a place to go. The more it is stuck in the fuel rail and increases the backpressure/flow restriction, the more pressure builds in the fuel rail.High pressure fluid always wants to move to a low pressure environment, so when an injector opens up, providing a low pressure cavity/space for fuel to move through, the fuel that is backed up in the fuel rail tries its' best to make its' way into the injector and into the now low pressure space. Basically the fuel tries to force itself into the injector because it sees it as an available space to move to that has lower pressure and is not restrictive (unlike the fuel rail the fuel is currently in). This reason is why I always suggest people upgrade their fuel rails. NOT because aftermarket fuel rails can flow anymore fuel than the stock fuel rail, but because the aftermarket fuel rails allow you to use much larger fuel pressure regulators, which can flow way more fuel through them! A new high-volume fuel pressure regulator and a new high flow return line will help prevent any backpressure / flow restrictions in the fuel system, which also will aid in the longevity of the fuel pump and help to provide a more accurate fuel system as a whole.

So I'll ask this question. How much HP can the stock feed line support?
I'm going to say at least 600 to the rear tires..
A good pump will push the fuel thru the smaller line but it will pull a lot more current and the motor will get hotter which is not good for overall expected life span.
For the return side, the bigger pump will push a lot more fuel to the injectors than the engine can consume at low rpm so the return line then offers enough restriction that the pressure in the rail is raised beyond what the chip expects and the engine runs too rich. Makes it hard to get smooth fueling. A bigger return line allows the excess to be bled off stabilizing the pressure in the rail.
Dan was using twin nozzles on his alky system as I recall. I forget what percentage of fueling the alky provides with twin nozzles, but he may have gotten 20-25% of his fuel from the alky which allowed his single walbro to keep up
Your response is essentially the same response I just gave Brad, regarding the effects of adding a volt booster to a car and the resulting increased fuel flow from the fuel pump. If the return line and fuel pressure regulator are free-flowing and have little-to-no restriction through them, then the engine should theoretically not have a fatter AFR. If the fuel regulator or the return line is not able to freely move the volume of flow provided by the pump, that fuel is now restricted in its' movement, and begins to "back up" as it experiences a flow restriction.

Eric says a volt booster will richen the AF...not me. Do a search on his forum.

Eric incorporates different fuel and timing curves to his alky chip along with a few other things. It also has more timing in it for alky. If you have a volt booster...it'll make the alky pump run harder which richens the AF.
OP- what chip do you have? A volt booster will not richen your AFR, unless your engine was being starved for fuel because the fuel pump was previously not putting out it's rated flow, due to a drop in voltage. If you have a hotwire kit and a good fuel pump, your fuel flow should be close to what the fuel pump is rated to put out. If you add a volt booster, and it simply raises the voltage to the fuel pump, the fuel pump will flow more fuel, however your fuel pressure regulator will simply be returning more fuel back to the tank, since you have not changed the amount of fuel required by the engine. You have only increased the available fuel supply. Since that fuel supply is not all needed, more of it will now be sent back to the fuel tank in the return lines. The only way your O2's / AFR will become richer when you install a volt booster, is if you had a poor electrical system that was starving your fuel pump for amperage, PRIOR to putting the volt booster on the car. If you had a bad electrical system prior to the volt booster, and your engine's O2s /AFR were lean because you were near the limit of what the pump could supply, adding the volt booster will cause an increase in the O2s / AFR because your engine needed more fuel than what the low-flowing fuel pump with the voltage issue, could supply. Fuel Flow from an electric fuel pump is directly related the voltage and electrical wires attached to the pump. Things like the Kenne Bell Boost-A-Pump work by increasing the voltage to the fuel pumps, which increases their outputs by upwards of 50% sometimes. For example, a DW400 at 13.5v at 80psi puts out something like 325lph, but at 17.5-18v at 80psi, it puts out about 465lph... that is actually MORE than a 680lph double pumper that uses those Racetronix/Walbro/Aeromotive 340lph fuel pumps. Those 340's are so shitty, that at 80psi they drop to something like 220lph-ish. That means that two of them at 13.5-14v will only be supplying 440lph-ish... Just some food for thought next time you want to spend $800 on a brand new double pumper setup...instea d of like $500 on a DW400 and a BAP, and actually have better performance...

Every time I park my T, I routinely open the hood to allow the heat to escape........ .I leave the hood up all the time. When I'm ready to go for a drive, I habitually go over a number of things under there.....one of those items is to top up the Meth tank. Close hood, look for Fedora hat, Caridgan sweater and pipe
Do your subscriptions to the New Yorker get automatically delivered to the passenger seat of the car so that you have reading material while you contemplate your next stock purchase? What's it like being a history teacher in New England? Are the wine and cheese socials still as lively as ever?

I would think the manufacturer assumes you have some form of boost controller
Bob Dole assumes nothing.
True or false. I can run a slightly tighter convertor than spec'd by the turbo manufacturer with a larger turbo if I use a boost controller like an RJC unit.If true...why?
Well, if I were Bob Dole answering this question, seeing as we all love to speak in the third-person, I'll be a dude playing another dude pretending to be another dude..
So Bob Dole thinks that the boost controller of that nature would have minimal affect on the converter's responsiveness . If you went from a stock WG setup and then went to a twin scroll 4 bolt setup with dual external wg's running Co2...I'd say that THAT would have an affect on the responsiveness of the turbo, allowing you to run a slightly tighter converter.

About a year ago, I bought an endoscope to use with my phone..it is an Depstech if you want to tell me how much better yours is 
It works great and the only downside is that I have a usb-c port on my phone so it needs an adapter to plug in. Very handy to see where I cannot see.
Recently, I could not find the adapter which chapped me off. I bought another one..same brand...that works off wifi. Now, this thing is great. I can plug it into my battery storage pack for power, prop the phone up wherever I want and concentrate on aiming the probe. I used it yesterday to look thru the valve cover bolt holes to be sure, I had the cover lined up right.
Eliminating the cable to the camera makes it much easier to take a pic or movies without losing aim of the probe.
I bet Earl has a bunch of these things for examining various orifices
Yeah, I found the adapter about 30 minutes after ordering a new one...of course, but, they are cheap and I like the new one
I need a new Endoscope that has a smaller "head" than what I currently have now. Between my Milwaukee scope, and this other wireless one, the camera on it has about a 1.5-2" solid stiff piece on it before it starts to be flexible. I need something that has a smaller camera end on it, so that I can go around tighter turns and bends. Is this the scope you're using currently? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077XWJP2T/ref=sspa_dk_detail_0?pd_rd_i=B0785H3XR7&pd_rd_wg=0sjwG&pd_rd_r=VD55PZMV4BBHC754GRW5&pd_rd_w=Yc44z&th=1

Something to think about. Years ago Jim Dotson was running 8.0's with his twin turbo stage 2. Health issues caused loss of his comp license. He removed the turbos and install a new intake and carb. The car ran constant 10.00's and won many bracket, Q8 and Q16 races. He was unbeatable until he passed away. Best of my knowledge he never opened the motor and used the turbo setup internals with the carb. Go figure. Engines with Stage 2 cylinder heads are completely different beasts than a production-headed block. Well ported Stage 2 heads can flow over 330cfm+ around .650 lift...that is LSx flow numbers... Imagine a 4.5L LSx engine that was N/A and built to make serious power... would it be so hard to believe that something like that could produce 700..800..even 900hp if it was a purpose- built engine? Using something like an old Indy engine's intake manifold, with the long runners and velocity stacks, I would have zero problems believing a N/A Stage 2 engine could make 700+hp routinely.
Earl said that because what is commonly referred to as a 'turbo cam' is one with very little overlap, where as a 'n/a' cam is one that has the correct amount of overlap. Not to mention a 'turbo engine' is normally built with much less that optimum usage of intended octane.
OMG, Earl is now talking in the third person just like Brad! If one of them starts referring to themselves as The" Earl or Scoob, it's going to be time for some chemtrails and population control!
Bob Dole wouldn't find that very funny! Bob Dole would think that is rude. Bob Dole doesn't like things like that. BOB DOLE!!!Eh..who am I kiddin'...one of my nicknames in college was "T-Unit" and if I was drunk enough, I'd start talking mad shit and refer to myself as "T-unit" saying it...Uuuhhh man-o-man...college was a seriously crazy time... I totally get while people say college will be the greatest years of your life, because there is no other time you're able to have complete fucking insanity in your everyday life, and all the people you are surrounded by are experiencing the same thing, with no one there to put a halt to it........except the cops.... going to County Jail in nothing but your boxers (which didn't close in the front) on the night they're doing a prison transfer...wel l I would imagine that would probably suck..from what I hear online...
That is really our problem. Most engine programs are aimed at high end engines whereas many of us are looking at the other end of the spectrum.
The more I look at the new gen turbos, the more potential I see for low rpm, long-lived street engine's that will work. yeah, I know a billion cycles on a cast crank can cause failure pulling out of your driveway. It's no questioning that the series of turbos that included the 6262 series really stepped the game up and guys are going a lot faster as a result. I suspect some of these new units are going to make them look obsolete.
Now, all we have to do is to drag Brad into the 21st century turbo-wise so he can kick rich kid azz even worse.  
I have an end game for this car...and I'm not done yet. The plan is to have Tylers plug-n-play return line on the car and 340 pump in it before I put it away for the winter. I'll need it for more HP next spring...
I'm waiting on the lines to arrive, and once they do I'll figure out how we're going to approach shipping this stuff.Hopefully we can have my PnP return line, AND the first ever (that I have heard about) PnP aftermarket E85-compatible fuel filter that works with the stock fuel lines...If we get this to work, then we'll be able to offer E85 Conversion kits for almost $200 LESS than what Racetronix / FT sell the kits for, and you'd still be able to run into the 10's!! Hopefully it will allow a lot of people to save some money and put the money saved to parts that they couldn't have afforded otherwise!

My billet crank (and all the custom billet cranks that I sell) is made at the same facility and by the same people that make Koenigsegg's crankshafts  /brag
