SII water pump?

Howdy folks.

I couldn't find a thread for this...

I was about to purchase the Mazmart water pump when I saw they had an 09 water pump listed. The design is a mix of the mazmart waterpump and the S1 water pump. I'm considering just buying the thing and seeing what it does.

The selling point of the mazmart is after 6k the S1 pumps fin start to create turbulence (please someone correct em if I am wrong) The SII fins are on a curve still ridge for those low rps.

I guess I'm just wondering if anyone's tried this out yet, Or should I just jump on it and be a guinea pig?


SII



MazMart


Couldn't find an OE one. Anyone offering good advice will know what this looks like.

I don''t think the S2 is the same as the S1. As in gasket.
I don't think it will work.

I don't think they changed the front cover though. It looks as thought that gasket takes place of the metal one its just far thinner. Maybe I should call up mazmart. I was more interested in the design, The price point also caught my eye...

Another plan for world domination foiled by not searching or reading the specific vendor thread on their product ....
