Just get it from BHR. They have the pump by itself and it's the right one for the rx8. $90 shipped is a very good deal. I just got mine in a few days ago and installed it. It's a great upgrade!

Their kit is more than just the Walbro pump. The new pump is slightly shorter than the oem unit. BHR includes a new o-ring to take up the difference in the size.

BHR also provides the highly recommended special tool, for a redeemable fee.

^ Who would buy the pump motor-only, when one could get a truly drop in solution?

Nice to have a clean sock filter as well as a new housing to boot.

$300 and the tool is one heck of a deal

Someone like me that doesn't have an extra $300 laying around, but needs the part...

The price that staticlag quoted was for the complete assy. You can get the pump kit for $100.

^ The super duper special mazda tank cap removal tool..........did you guys make your own or is it the same one the dealer has? Im asking because would there be a way to provide you with a payment to make a tool and have it shipped to me so i can have my own? I purchased the pump only awhile back and have been reluctant to install due to not having the proper tool even though i know its not necessary.

NAPA sells them too. Go to their website and search for "Fuel Tank Lock Ring Removal Tool"

Not even remotely the same tool.
The NAPA "universal" pump tool is flimsy and will not get the RX-8 ring off 90% of the time.
100% if you include the times it gets it removed by breaking it.

The BHR tool is custom made out of very heavy material and fits the ring perfectly without adjustment.

I'm offering options. I'm not commenting on quality, as I have seen neither.

MazdaManiac

By using the word "too", you are implying that they are the same tool.

alnielsen

iTrader: (4)

Not at all.

I've seen the Napa tool and a few other variations. I actually watched someone use another tool and it flexed and bent and snapped some ridges off hence why i would like a better tool for my attempt/

Great responses but im still just looking for the part number so i can order one through my local auto parts dealer because 1. im in canada and i dont want to wait and 2. i like to support my local auto parts dealer because they give me better deals than online stores.

chedda_j

looking through pictures online, it looks like they are all the same so im guessing il just ask for a 255 walboro at my supplier.

auzoom

And make sure you get a guarantee that its genuine like Charles does.

chedda_j

It will be geniune, but the cheapest i can get it through my local dealer is $150 cdn. So maybe il go through BHR if they can ship one to me for less than that.

chedda_j

sweet deal, i want to pay with paypal if thats ok, and il most likely send you the money tomorrow evening.
