Default Options for stand alone electric water pump

I'm putting an L33 into a Porsche Boxster which requires the use of stand alone electric water pump to make room for the engine. What are my options, preferably on the cheaper side? Is Moroso a good choice? Thanks!

Just came across this cheap Audi unit
http://www.amazon.com/Bosch-0392020073-Electric-Water-Pump/dp/B0049PLFGK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1423532960&sr=8-1&keywords=Bosch+0392020073 http://www.amazon.com/Bosch-0392020073-Electric-Water-Pump/dp/B0049PLFGK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1423532960&sr=8-1&keywords=Bosch+0392020073
. They use it in the V8 Cayenne. What do you guys think, would this work for a 5.3?

I like Meziere stand-alone pumps. American made a very high quality.

I have a new one I might sell. It has been on my shelf for a while. I could check the part # and take some photos. It is a remote / stand alone.

are you sure that is used for cooling vs. heating system in Cayenne? Most have an engine driven pump and then an auxillary for the heater.

I just did some research. This is apparently a secondary water pump for after the car is turned off. It circulates water for even cooling of the engine to prevent warping.

Thanks, I will probably end up going with this one. Is this what Renegade offers with their kit?

I've used the Meziere 55gpm rad mount and inline on several cars. Always had great results. Not to mention their customer support is second to none if you have technical questions on system design.

I have this pump.

https://www.meziere.com/images/produ...tion/WP136.pdf


Despite being on the low end of the flow range of the Meziere pumps, it is indeed a beefy unit - probably weighs about 5 lbs. PM me, if you're interested to buy it. It sounds like list price is about $240.

Fierofly - what is the flow rate of the CVR pump?

Default Space for the pump
