I need a spec c water pump for my blob sti as i have a top mount oil cooler, ive spoke with advanced automotive and they said they don't stock them as they will be expensive to buy in.

Am I looking at a ridiculous price for 1 of these?

why do you need a spec-c one, is there any difference?

Yes and radiator is too...

AS performance might know?

I've not heard of many pumps failing?

Ive been driving them for the last 4/5 years and wasnt aware of a difference and if there is why would this affect a top mounted oil cooler?

Popped into rcm to see olly, was in and out in minutes with a spec c water pump..........result.

As I have a top mount oil cooler I don't have the modine anymore

Nice when it's simple as that

I'd be interested to know too - I'm going to remove the modine and put a front mount oil cooler is - surely you can just join the pipework around the gap left by the modine

well on my standard water pump somebody has blanked off the take off by shoving something inside it hence why i wanted the proper item

I was going to use some silicon balnking caps when I took the modine and crossover off so not quite the same standard of bodge as had been done on yours

im replacing the radiator this weekend due to a leak so i just thought as the rads off may aswell do the cambelt/water pump at the same time with fresh coolant ready for the summer

I'll be doing quite a bit - the car is SORN'd but I'll use that as an excuse to get it MOT'd without paying for tax, that one off journey to a pre-booked test and then cambelt, headers, oil cooler, cambelt etc ready to make it road legal for the remap

Just use any Subaru EJ non turbo water pump, like the Legacy, Impreza sport etc.

sounds good,mine is going to the spray shop soon for a front end refresh then it
my 850cc injectors/new pump/rcm induction kit and if funds allow i will be sending my gt30 off to have a billet wheel fitted and then a map tweak,hoping for 450-460bhp

I'm not yet being quite as adventurous as I am still running a WRX block and box - so 350 and I'll be pleased - when stuff breaks (engine and box) I'll upgrade and keep an eye out for some nice twin-scroll and/or rotated set-up (just don't tell the wife)

There are a few different types - 1 or 2 port and different 2-port configurations. I'm assuming you don't use the ones with the different thermostat housing but of the rest it is unclear which is best - I am about 4000 miles from the car at the moment hence why I can't get under the bonnet and work it out...

as Paul states the Turbo Auto's and various others use a straight forward pump without the modine take-off - nothing special and have been around for years

How much out of curiosity was the spec c water pum?
Was it a genuine Subaru unit?

Looking to get one as i too have oil cooler and will be removing the modine.
