low pressure fuel pump vs High pressure fuel pump
What would be the symptoms of running a rx8 with a cheap low pressure fuel pump ,
As I have a issue , my car starts fine at any time without hesitation , but it wont start at all like no compression for like 2 minutes if I switch off the car after flooring it like hell..

Why do you think that this is a fuel pump problem?
The only time I see trouble starting being a fuel pump problem is if the car dies while you are actively driving it at speed in gear, like on the highway, and then won't start for ~20 minutes then suddenly starts fine.
All other starting difficulty descriptions end up being something else.

car just starts fine if I drive normal for hours. it will start right away without any hesitation. only issue is if I floor it hard the car struggles to start up .

Ah, I didn't catch that you installed a cheap pump. I'd recommend putting in a good/correct pump. If you run into fuel pressure drop from reving hard, actually driving it hard puts you at significant risk of engine damage from a lean spike with that pressure drop.
Get a proper pump in there. A $150 pump is cheaper than a $3,300 engine.

I can't say for sure without some fuel pressure readings when you are trying to start.
Frankly, you are the first person I've see on the forums try a low pressure fuel pump.
