Anyone else have problems with water pumps?
 

i've had my '89 s13 for about a year now and due to "un-natural" causes i have been through 6 water pumps.the first few were faulty but now its just like i have to replace it every few months or so. anyone else have this problem?:dunno:

Hmmmm!??
Can't say I have. There is over 45k on the Pump I have now and been thru Many Race events also. OH, I run Water Weter with only 10-20% coolant for Lubricating the pump..

Very rarely have I heard of a failed water pump on a KA engine .. Are you sure that you are not doing something wrong ...

dont think so i never any of the pumps myself, all done by the nissan dealer. the first one put on tore my whole pully system and fall all out of whack and messed up my radiator. i was comming out of first gear. IN THE PARKING LOT and loud crash and all the pulleys and belts were a freaking mess i think the way it sits in the motor now may be screwy or something i dunno:angry: ......hate water pumps
