alright, so we know you'll be there but the million dollar question is: will your RX-8 be there?!

Drove the car today; having some fuel pump issues. The car boosts fast as any good turbo system should. In 1st gear under 2500rpms at 30~ish percent throttle its in positive pressure. Obviously its not tuned so we backed off as soon as we heard it. I am guessing its not going to be too far off from the previous greddy kit...

yeah, just plain wierdness. i'm going to swap in the Stock Arram pump and see what happens.

Stat up and die...let the pump run a little and would start up and die again.

now of course is would help if I had a fuel pressure guage to test with.

I've got one here with quick-release fittings that match the RX-8 fuel system.
Lemme know if you still need it.
I'll be back in AZ on Monday.

Thanks Jeff.

I'll start sending logs as soon as She stays running.

It's weird. If let the pump run for 30 sec or so before STARTING the car, it will start. Then run for 15 - 20 sec. Lean out and die.

The banana is back at the house and I'll swap the OE pump back in tomorrow and will try again.

She's ALIVE !
however the banana will run for 2-3 mins and then stall out. Right before the stall the AFR's will start to increase. I can hear the fuel pump spin up, the idle will come back into line, the AFR's drop and then the fuel pump will spin down.

It almost sounds like it runs out of fuel to deliever. It has a 3rd tank of gas with 4-5 oz of premix.
Walbro pump from Ray and I did drill out the siphon way back when. I do have a restrictor to put back in but the siphon doesn't sit properly on the standoff.

No codes are ever thrown and she will start up almost right away.

Jeff, what are you doing Saturday?
