Non Culpa Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Hi Guys, I have a 1984 EA81 Turbo Engine, it was purchased as an Import from Japan. I need to replace the Water Pump. When looking on the Internet and Ebay in the USA there seems to be numerous different Manufacturers. My question, is there one better that the others. There are plenty of Water Pumps for Non Turbo Engines here in Australia, but very few for Turbos. EA81 Turbos were not released in Australia.

Crazyeights Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 As far as I know the difference is single groove pulley standard and double pulley on the EA81T. Either pump should fit either block. I can check specifics if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Non Culpa Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 Crazyeights, Thanks I have all the specs from a workshop manual. Just wanted to know which was the best brand, Cardone, Aisin, Gates, GMB and so on. Does anyone know who was the original manufacturer of the turbo water pump?

Non Culpa Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 Come on Guys, give us a hand here, someone must have purchased a water pump recently. Non Culpa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyeights Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Come on Guys, give us a hand here, someone must have purchased a water pump recently. Non Culpa I prefer NEW rather than rebuilt. Other than that just grab one from whichever manufacturer still makes it. I think oem was Aisin if I remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 GMB brand is often found inside many different branded boxes here in Aus and I have never had to replace a GMB brand pump - only ever replaced genuine - answer your question ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carfreak85 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Definitely go new vs. rebuilt if you can afford it. Dealership would be a great place to get a quality new part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non Culpa Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share Posted July 1, 2013 Thanks for all that replied. I have put the pieces of my water pump back together and found that the original manufacturer was ATSUGI, I was looking for a pump with a cast impeller, from what I've read the GMB is not cast, is this correct?
