Update:
Thanks guys for the advice. I Siphoned the pump with a Siphon pump and the pump started flowing like Niagara Falls...
I Checked my Oil catch can that I have connected to the SC and BAM there was the missing oil from the supercharger. I guess running the car a couple of times with out the intercooler running properly; the SC ran hot a spitted some oil into the can...
I reapplied the SC oil. cleaned the catch can. I drained the Intercooler water and replaced it with 50/50 antifreeze... Thanks guys I'm back to SC motoring.

I really wish that there was ANY SC kit still available.
I do not want to turbo my car but it's looking like the only option at this point if I want to see any significant HP increase over stock.

I sent this message to a couple of people. Maybe some here can shine some light.
I disconnected my battery in my rx8. So I decided to reload the Pettit tune map with the EFI because it started driving funky. After I started the car it didn't hold idle. The process was done correctly and the light turned green after upload. So I did it a second time and I plugged the EFI before I turned the ignition to the second position before on byaccident. Now the EFI blinks red. And never turns green. I'm afraid to turn on the car. Did I fry the ECU?

So I tried to crank the car over and absolutely nothing. The car would not crank. I have a volt gauge and the battery is fully charged. I tried to upload the tune again after by connecting the efi when the key is on the second on position. It blinks red when I connect it. It's suppose to turn solid red and then green when it's finished. I think I erased the entire ecu... Any info?
thanks guys. when i first looked at it for him (last year) i remember it being very hard to get any tools on the bottom side of bracket where the two nuts are. i wasnt sure if they changed anything on the kits over the years. ill check back here for pics and ill give you a call if i need help levi. thanks again
It feels amazing to be back at 11 psi. Everything was going awesome. Then on my drive home, I felt the car breaking up at higher revs. I checked my a/f gauge and it was struggling to keep it rich. It would jump from 11ish to 12ish then back down to rich. I am thinking the original stock fuel pump is giving up. Replacing it has been on my to-do list for awhile but the belt slipping had taken over.
So I am just checking to see what people have been using with their sc setup? I have the high boost setup with 1000 secondaries. I don't track the car. Just a fun weekend car. Daily driving got too expensive after the MM tune.
I still cant get over how amazing the sc/motor sounded again at full throttle.

No problem...hope you liked my intricate drawing...
A lot of people use the BHR/Walbro pump but some say its less reliable
I prefer the S2 pump if you can find one

lol @ that drawing...
So update. I bricked the ECU... Bringing the car to the dealer so they can clear the ECU and reflash it back to stock. With that said may or may not need a used ecu.

Thanks Levi for confirming how it should look. We got everything all set with a big set of channel locks as leverage. (His broom was too big. lol)

Just get the latest Mazda Fuel Pump for your year car. I changed my 2004 OEM for a latest version over a 4 years ago with no issues. Many track days (Sebring, PBIR and Homestead plus countless AutoX) with no issues. I also run the four 1000cc injectors on the top fuel rail and have an inline digital fuel pressure gauge 64~61psi all day. Latest pump number for RX8 S1 number is N3H1-13-35ZG BTW I have the N3H1-13-35ZE $416msrp so one more mod since I purchased mine a while ago.
I would always prefer OEM but BHR recommended a DW200 and they are comparatively pretty cheap.

The S1 pumps was unchanged. And FYI, we replaced a locals pump last week and while the brand be bought at the parts store was Airtex, the pump in the box was a brand new Mazda unit with the Aaram pump.

Picked up this 8 previously owned by ZenRX8 a couple of weeks ago. So it seems that I have joined the Petit owners club. Drove the car 11 hours home from Virginia to Missouri and enjoyed every minute of it. Already have plans for the car and loving the extra power right now. Feels like the car should have been this way from factory.
