YnotDIY Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Alright here we go again, sorry for all the parts questions recently. Just wanna make sure I'm getting the right stuff and I know you guys know your spoob obviously. So here we go. looking at water pump for the EA82 online and I'm finding two different hub heights. one being.... 4.087" the other 4.320" not sure which to get. I'm thinking the difference in hub heights is either with or w/o AC. I don't have AC so I'm thinking the shorter one, but honestly just a guess and don't wanna get the wrong one. lemme know if ya'll have knowledge on this.ALSO, I'm totally unfamiliar with auto manufactures as they relate to quality. RockAuto has a few to select from.... ACDELCO GATES AIRTEX CARDONE AISIN Delco being most expensive and Gates being least. Anyone have brand preference?

Sapper 157 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) I have had good luck with AIRTEX Edited March 13, 2017 by Sapper 157 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Aisin if you can get it. Aisin is the major supplier to Toyota and makes the finest pumps I have seen available in the aftermarket. It will be Japanese origin almost certainly. GD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dj7291993 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 (edited) IIRC, one is turbo, one is non. I think the longer one is the turbo, but I can't remember for sure. I know the answer is on here somewhere though. You can either use the search function or use google with "site:ultimatesubaru.org" before your terms. All those should be fine. Aisin makes good stuff as GD said, and is the OE supplier for a lot of the Japanese brands. I want to say the are 30% owned by Toyota. Gates makes good stuff as well. EDIT: Got it backwards. Here's the link to when I asked a while back, with a quote from MilesFox in post 3. Edited March 12, 2017 by Dj7291993 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Gates is a complete crapshoot. Trust me you can't trust what they say on the box, and they are going to China in a big way the last few years. Stay away. GD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dj7291993 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Mitsuboshi (not a typo) seems to be the OE for a lot of the Japanese stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
