The mod is toward the bottom of the page, and I'm especially interested if this might work on an 04, and if it would up your gas mileage?

 

Blackhaloracing you say .................. - never heard of them

 

Blackhaloracing?
whose that? Never heard of them.

 

As a fellow 04 rx8 driver ... let me offer this advice .. just get it.

1. I don't stall out when I'm below 1/4 tank
2. no more spuddering when above 7k
3. car starts faster
4. happiness gained from piece of mind I won't get stuck

Now if only bhr had replacement filter sock thingees!

Dear Mazda,

You fuel pump sucked!

- me.


PS Jedi -- what cha think about coming up with a fuel filter sock thing replacement?

 

haha....word, how much did that end up running ya and have you noticed an MPG gain

 

For me actually yes because I was having some bad issues.

I dotn think the pump was that much ... less than 100 ... more than 20?

Send a pm their way.

 

About $100, compared to about $180 (going from memory) for the Mazda assembly.
I was stalling out in hard left turns at the track. I haven't tracked the car in a long time so that didn't bother me. On long trips the car started stalling when the tank got low (pump over heating). That was a problem. It takes about 1-2 hours to remove, mod the assembly and reinstall.
