Not if the seal is bad. It all comes out on the ground. Same can happen with the electric. It is all for the extra HP and cooling your engine at the track.

 

Not to mention it flows a whole lot better than the stock pump in normal daily use, too.

 

I have been running mine for about 6 months now and have not seen any down side.

Can you use a Meziere water pump with steeda underdrive pulleys?

 

Yes, you just need a different ( shorter, 99 1/2" ) belt.

 

I have been running my EH2O pump for a month or two and have noticed something. I have a thin layer of clear oil almost like machine oil on the front of the pulley. Seems like maybe bearing oil spinning out of it. Normal? Anyone else notice anything similiar?

 

Sorry, I wasn't trying to imply that or scare you. Just that if and when the pump fails, you can't go running to the nearest Ford dealer or neighborhood garage and get it replaced the same day. You'd likely be putting a mechanical pump on along with a new serpentine belt.
I believe the MTBF rating was quite high. Obviously some will fail sooner than others and others will, well to quote the eBunny: "keeps going, and going, and going".

Some people just may not consider that aspect of a not-so-common part on a rather common vehicle.

 

Just keep your mechanical one handy for when/if that arises. If mine is still running strong at 100k, I'll just replace it at that point

 

I took the plunge and ordered mine today via the website.

 

Hi everybody I wanted to give you a heads up the sale will end at the end of the month. The normal price is $335 with relay shipped which is still a good deal but if you want the discount get it this weekend. I will think of some other part to put on sale for you guys for February.

 

I wonder how many were placed through the group buy. I bet 10 at least.

 

Same here. Also flung onto the balancer. Is this normal? I seem to be getting two different answers. Meziere told me "not normal" and to send it back to him for inspection whereas my dealer says it's just a little grease escaping from most likely an overpacked bearing and should not be a problem. I have checked the pulley a couple times and noticed no looseness or roughness and the amount of lube lost seems to be decreasing.

 

Just got mine ordered via the website as well.

Can someone give me the Belt number to use with the Steeda Under drive crank pulley? I prefer Gator brand. Thank you!

 

When I ordered my slicks and gauges today from Summit, I got a Gator belt too for my Steeda UDP

Nice and fast with that reply !! Thank you, I appreciate the work you saved me.

Got my pump today (fast shipping)! Thank you for the group buy.

Now I am curiously awaiting the next item.....

What will be the next group buy?????

Please let it be something I don't have already!

Thank you again,
Russ

 

Hey Russ,
Do you have a supercharger yet??? Wonder what kind of price we can get on a KB or Saleen twinscrew if we could get 20 or so together. Maybe we could count Don W.'s Keenebell. What do you think. Are you in???

Scott

 

I already have two supercharged cars so I will likely do one of the Mustangs... BUT I am not in any hurry to do it to with either one right now. I am going to put as many things as I can on the '06 that are for a N/A car.

(famous last words...I always say this kind of stuff..next thing you know I have the engine out!... says my wife..!)

Hmmm, I wonder what kind of deal we could get on 20 of them? Good call!

 

so who has put theirs in? Nobody is talking

You probably read about my issues in the Meziere install woes thread, so mine isn't in yet. I'll be trying again this weekend with a replacement o-ring (the stocker is exactly the same size). I'll report back after I get it working.
