Help deciding how to fix fuel pump issue
So, I have narrowed down my no start (cold or hot) issue to a bad fuel pump. Did so by buying a cheap $10 pump and swapped it into my housing. Now my 8 will start every time. My issue now is that although said $10 pump carries a lifetime warranty its still a $10 pump. So my question is this: How should I go about fixing this? New assembly for $170+ or a new pump swapped into my housing? If new pump, will one for an 09 work? I have found both a kit for the DW200 pump and a kit from highflowfuel.com that comes with either a 265lph pump for $80 http://www.highflowfuel.com/i-23899300-quantum-265lph-intank-fuel-pump-mazda-rx-8-2009-2011.html. Which would yall reccommend?

I'm not worried about flow as I will eventually being modding my 8. But, as I am stock NA right now will I see any issues running a pump with a 265 lph output?

The one in the car now only has 60k on it. Will eventually try and find an s2 pump housing to put the new pump in

You could buy a new S2 full assembly for not much more. The new aftermarket S1 assembly are also S2 assemblies, they just require some mild tweaking to fit and work in an S1. The S2 design is better overall and not just in terms of the fuel pump.
Check it.

One question I have is for those that have upgraded to a Walbro or a DW200. Did you have to melt the pop off valve? If so, what works the best to melt it?

As usual, Charles is right....
I dicked around with filters and Walbro's before finally getting a used Series II assembly - when I cut the old secondary filter open (the big one surrounding the pump) it was SOLID with crud, mostly fine carbon looking powder. (pump brush residue?)
No probs since.

Btw, when you did the Walbro, how did you melt the siphon/pop off valve?
