If your referring to the hose you posted already it is not better for a application that will be submerged in fuel. It Cleary says not to submerge in fuel.

The hose I posted is what 99% of what people use with no issues.
What you have might be fine but do you want to chance having to pull the tank again over $18 worth of hose?

That's ironic that you post this.. As I have a turbo Hayabusa and an S1000rr. Guess great minds think alike.

I like how you did your intercooler with the bumper support. I'm going to do something similar just to free up some room for the radiator to breathe.

it's not a gates hose this one is a Parker hose I called them up and they said it would be fine to be submerged in gas he did say after 4 years it may start getting soft but I don't plan on keeping the same fuel system in for that long it will start in for a season only

2000 gen 1 I bought new. RCC stg 2, air to air intercooled. 320 rwhp on 93, 435 rwhp on C16.. It was my mega project before I got the z06 to keep my broke.

My s1000rr has a Brock CT TI exhaust system, BrenTuning flash.. Made 185 rwhp before the flash..

Anyway, enough for the thread jack..


Sub'd for your progress, dyno, vids..
