Will this water pump (Borg Warner) work on my EJ22 (non-turbo)? Is it any good?

Would you put this pulley on your car if you were me?

Thanks for your help. I have a bad water pump. Gonna replace it and maybe do the pulley at the same time. I have tons of oil leaks too... any advice on what I should do while doing the water pump (I wanna keep costs down tho).

Thanks

If that picture is of the actual pump it wont work easily. For one, that is a turbo pump. The way the thermostat housing attaches to the water pump is different. Secondly if the seller incorrectly stated it's for a 92-94 when it is actuall for a 91, then it has an extra nipple on the side for the oil cooler, but if it's only for a 92-94 then you're fine. Aftermarket stuff isn't as good as OEM stuff

I personally wouldn't put the pulley on my car no.

While you're doing the pump you might want to replace the timing belt and cam seals. Maybe reseal the oil pump or just replace it and the o-ring behind it.

I would but with reservations. I purchased that pulley or a similar pulley. Nicely made, perfectly balanced, but the serations for the ribs were not turned quite deep enough. I luckily could stick it in my lathe and fix this. You may not be so lucky.

I'm running a turbo water pump on mine. You just have to get some hose that fits the unwanted nipple and block off the ned of it. I think I had to get a turbo main hose, though ... I must have as I know I replaced it (the old one was OLD anyway).

I've heard bad things about underdriven pullies. I would stay away from that Ebay shit and go with a quality item like my Perrin.

anyone know of more affordable lightweight NON-UNDERDRIVE pulleys than the Perrin? I'm totally game, but I have to be realistic.. no matter how much I spend, its still a N/A engine..

Unorthodox and Go Fast Bits both make nice L.W. pulleys too but IIRC they're both more expensive then the Perrin.

If you're interested, Boxer4Racing.com has quite a bit of stuff for NA's.

OK, I think I have decided to resell/get rid of the turbo pump and get a regular non-turbo pump. Here is a link to the one I'm gonna get if its right.

Anyone care to comment on the correctness of this pump (pic and URL to follow). I'm waiting on the part number. (1993 Leg Wagon, NA)

Thanks.

(Also doing all belts, cam seals, valve seals... and a lightened pulley if I have it in time... when I do this repair. Any other suggestions?)

That should be right for a non-turbo.
