I am using the aftermarket pump with cast impeller...no problems to speak of.

 

[NashMan]

have you sean a proper toyota one light and day man plsu the tyoe one is bit bigger too

 

[NashMan]

no one has ot say any thgin about thsi

 

[Mr.PFloyd]

you are being picky... the toyota one is not that much bigger, and it has thinner blades. that would mean it wouldn't push as much. or you can do what i did and weld a plate on it to make it push even more.

 

[NashMan]

what do you mena plat like water wheel they used to see in the old flower mills

I recall this having been talked about before on here. IIRC, someone got a new Aisin and it had a cast impeller too. I guess they're cheaper or easier to manufacture.

You're being picky. Shaaatup and get your car running already You got that front main seal from my mailbox ok?

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

Should be fine Nash. I'm not sure I've come across a 7m without one like that yet, lol.

 

[NashMan]

wow this is the frist time i ahve sean cast turbine
guess i will live wiht it but in the back of my head it will bug me

i still woundering on croay slashes weld thing and why

I'm using the water pump that driftmotion sells, $55 and works great. I think toyota quoted me like $150 or something for a new one.. I figure people can buy what they want. I think you're being a little picky but at the same time I'm the same way with other things.

 

[tekdeus]

I just got one of these for my 5M. It looks heavier and chunkier than the thin stock blades. I worried about it too, but it works just fine.

 

[Poodles]

both engines I've taken apart had the cast one...

never seen the stamped one though...

 

[Doward]

Never seen a cast one, here... I'll snag a pic of my STAMPED STEEL impeller when I get home.

BTW, mine's a new one I bought from Advance Auto Parts

Nash I have to agree with you man, the one i took out of my car was like the one in your picture. Replaced it with one from toyota and couldnt beleive the difference. The blades look so much better on the toyota water pump! On a side note though, I didnt have any problems with the other water pump til it went out. After seeing both though I will stick with toyota!

 

[dbsupra90]

i have a new one from toyota. i dont remember the exact price, but it was around $65 from elmhurst w/ discount.

stuff like water pumps, oil pumps, etc i will only use toyota. i guess im just anal about stuff like that.

 

[Poodles]

I want pics of these stamped ones... I'd compare the dimensions to see if there is really any benefits to running the OEM one...

 

[NashMan]

dude you can cut your finger on the blades there shapened and crazy talerances

this one looks liek kid made it in meatle work lerning how to poor meatle

but since it is not hot here i going to use it but as soon as i find chnace to replace it it so getting the boot \



all so like to add one of the most enginner things on a out bord motor is it's prop be sides the haul it self

I want pics of these stamped ones... I'd compare the dimensions to see if there is really any benefits to running the OEM one...

New to site... old to supras and "otherwise"...


I noticed DRAMATIC distinctions between an aftermarket POTMETAL CAST impeller and the AISIN unit. I took my aftermarket back (this is half-a-dozen years ago... or more...) and got the AISIN unit with stamped impeller. Then I "polished" the fins to take off the "rough" edges from the die shear.

Couldn't say if it DOES make a difference without empirical evidence... but the APPEARANCES are pretty notable... enough for me, in this case.

[Poodles]

so a new one from toyota SHOULD have the stamped impeller?

can anyone confirm this today?
