mrlilguy fuel pump MS3

[funksilver07]

So I'm ready to upgrade my fuel pump on my MS3. I've seen threads re: the mrlilguy pump. I thought this was a PG item but I don't see it on the "protegegarage" site. What's the price and where do I find it? It's either this pump or I will go with the maxflo fuel pump internals upgrade. Thanks for any help with this... (help)

This is the one that was on group but just a while back!!!

Yea, it looks like that's probably the way I'll go. Was interested in how the "mrlilguy" pump is working for people and pricing...
update: On another forum it looks like some are having issues with this internals upgrade, many are reporting still getting low fuel pressure after the install. I really don't want to spend $279. on a part that may or may not work. Anyone here using this internals kit an how's your final result?

I had PM'd MRlilguy and he told me that the issue has been taken care of. They had a problem initially with QC on the product.

fuel pump problem

I also benefitted from MrLilGuy's help: he forwarded me a copy of the info from Mazda (a TSB, not a recall). Certain of our cars are likely to benefit from a replacement fuel pump. It depends on build date, or serial numbers of engine and/or the pump itself , IIRC.

I had continuing hesitation problems and had tried several different solutions, fruitlessly. Showed the TSB to my service writer & he had the pump replaced (he was sick of me bugging him and of constant re-flashing, injector replacement, and so on); problem solved.

Thanks, MrLilGuy!!

The MaxFlo internals are also made by MrLilGuy... he is part of Carpe Diem

Yea, my car falls into the TSB category: #01-022-08... although it seems to be pumping plenty of fuel, according to my DashHawk I'm getting 1600-1750psi most of the time. I still think the internals upgrade is a good way to go with the usual power mods a lot of us are doing, (SRI-CAI, TIP, DP/RP...) (drive)
