So I took my car to a drift practice yesterday, ive drifted it before fine....but this time I had a little above a quarter tank. After I started to warm up doing figure 8's the car started losing power. Just like a fuel cut. Once second im sliding, the next the engine bogs down and no power. As soon as I lift off gas and try again I can slide until it happens again.

What would cause this issue? I went and got gas and filled her up but still had same issue. Is the stock fuel pump THAT weak?!?!?

Also I threw a oil light even though when I checked it i was topped off....

Car has brand new BHR ignition set and iridium plugs since Christmas. Is not tuned. N/A setup

 

It could be your fuel pump. Anyway, what is the mileage do you have in your car right now?

 

not enough fuel... fuel starvation... nothing wrong with your car...

 

Yeah at 1/4 tank you get fuel starvation in left hand turns. It's normal.

 

yep,

i would not even know how to drift a car, or why anyone would do it.. but i would not let the tank drop below 1/2 tank.. really..

btw, you will have the issue in left hand turns/drifts.

beers

 

Ya like I said, I went and put in a fuel tank! And still had same issue. Someone said check your Oil pump.

My Rx-8 has 103k compression test @ 96k should excellent compression, I never have replaced fuel filter.... Had car since 42k miles. Purchased from another rx8 member, old dude too, he really took car of it.
