Replacing water pump

[blwnmstc]

My water pump starting leaking so I assume that its going bad and before it goes out I want to change. The only thing is that I don't know if I can remove with the blower in place. Im not trying to beat around the bush buy not taking off the blower but would like not to cuz of the amount of time I have to do it. Is it possible to remove the water pump without removing the blower? My blower set up is a vortech v-1 s-trim. Any help help would ne great, thanx.

I dont know the answer as far as removing your blower. But i just installed the meziere electric water pump and it was defint worth it. just a thought since u have to change GL

^ does that free up some power? I think mine is starting to dribble, what's the e pump run?

Yes it will free up power, they consume virtually no engine power. My only question would be durability for street use.

yes it does free up horse power and acceleration is much smoother. I dont drive my car everyday so not a problem for me. For an everyday driver i wouldnt recommend it but i would check with someone else about that. i also installed that 180 thermostat with the electric water pump (meziere) and changed my fan settings on my tuner and the car runs just below 180 at all times. next year when i redo my tranny going to install that cooling mod they have on hear great protection for yur engine.

ive heard of these pumps lasting for up to 10 years havent heard anything bad about them. obviously make sure u get a water gauge and u should be fine.
