Any pump shaped like a Walbro 342 will fit well.

Same pump as an RX-7 if they don't list the '8.

I do happen to have a brand new OEM fuel pump for sale, it is just the pump not the sending unit. Here is my FS thread https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-parts-sale-wanted-44/new-oem-fuel-pump-227227/

I'm leaving town tomorrow though and won't be back until friday night. I'll have my iphone though so I will still have access to the forum and my messages. I can always get my wife to ship it for me while I'm gone.

I'm in a good mood so here is the thread everyone is bitching at you to search for https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-major-horsepower-upgrades-93/fuel-pump-solution-all-failure-modes-176491/

Cuz the s1 aarm fuel pump fuxking sucks? it's known to fail.

if u know what you're doing, u can re-use the existing Fuel Pump assembly, just remove the pump out, snap the right size pump in, and Melt the top of the bypass valve. reinstall. done.

I need to find time to do mine, my 2nd stock fuel pump is slowly dying, I get lean condition now whenever I have less than 1/2 tank of gas. FAILED if I don't have time to do the melting and stuff, just gonna get it from BHR. I like to support good guys. see what happens later this summer.
