I'll say it again. Heiko has courage to try a new product just recently released. Who knows at this point weather or not this recent design is the solution to the weakness of the current water pumps. Just as many took a chance on the LNE IMS bearing when it was a new design. Remember some of them have failed.

Thanks and if it fails and it kills the motor, I'll rebuild it... not like there isn't thousands of them out there! My intention of this whole thread was to show a new product, not to start this huge debate. Personally I don't really care what works or hasn't, I'm trying a new item; and if it turns out to be a big flop then I'll report back with it as being junk. I guess I should have just bought a 911 as everyone said don't buy a Boxster - LMAO - and I still like my Boxster!
Anyhow hope everyone had a good weekend.

I think we all have learned a little more as a result of this thread. Thanks for posting and sharing information and thoughts; this what a forum is....

We should all remember that really we are all on the same team and be respectful of each other

Same engine? Odd comment. It's a forum, expect to get differing opinions on things. If you got the money to experiment with new products that could kill your engine, then more power to you! I hate being a guinea pig

Sorry wasn't comparing cars just making the point that I bought something most people at the time told me to stay away from and that I was still happy with it!
JAYKAY - you are absolutely correct... we're all on the same team (I hope) because in the end knowing what's out there for our cars is what we all want to know... So if I'm the so called guinea pig than I hope I grow fur and eat some phone cords
Cheers

@Heiko, that takes guts! Good luck on that new GEBA bearing on the WP, they have undoubtedly tested it BEFORE it came to market….hope it holds up better than my recent 'bearing experience'. But hey, thanks to that incident, I NOW KNOW of another, longer-life IMS Bearing AND IT COSTS LESS. PM for details. No special oil lines, just a really good FULLY CERAMIC industrial-tested bearing from a reputable dealer.

"And that's Just the facts"

Still going on about that bearing... jeez, change the record dude!

I'm just kidding of course. Sorry for your experience - it totally sucked.

Samc,

Go with the flow…we were eventually going to get around to it.

is this what you meant:

"Delivers 35 gallons per hour free flow rate at 4 to 7 psi"

Now, if you will excuse me I have an IMS bearing to go remove.

WOW if that spec on the electric is true the stock pump is 35gal/hr and the electric is rated at 3000Gal/hr (50Gal/min).... can that be right?
