Default What water pump
I am getting ready for my build. My motor should be here in about 3weeks from AES. The block is the LSX one 410ci 88mm turbo with 1.23 ex. housing. What water pump would be the best for my setup?

electric water pump is the best way to go, get the street version not the race version

Factory 99+ water pump is fine, or you can get Evans pump

speed inc. sells evans pump

I don't like electric water pumps for a few reasons.

I would steer away from the electric like mentioned. I've got a great condition factory pump off my 02 T/A with really low miles if you are interested.

Thanks Fraser for your thoughts and info. Should have just asked you anyway, lol. I just didn't think about it.

@ *02WS6TURK* Thanks for the offer. But I have this thing about buying used parts with this build. But if I run into anyone that is looking for a good one I will send them your way

I've ran a Meziere for 55,000+ miles on 3 engines with absolutely no problems whatsoever.
I'm sure there is some downside besides the price, but I have yet to see one.
