I would use it on a DD, but for a performance application I'd use an OEM water pump and T-belt.

 

[FarmerD]

i wouldnt use em because it doesnt show any brand names except the tensioner, which is GMB. GMB being a pretty good brand, the tensioner should be fine

but the rest sketches me out.

 

[Vantec89]

yea, its my DD....nothing performance about my car...yet. im kinda sketchy about it too. but, its a good deal!

 

[Vantec89]

BUMP!

 

[FarmerD]

what are you bumping this for?

email the dude, find out the brand names, and post that up here.

"The parts are by ITM Engine components and we sometimes use Rock Products water pumps. All good quality parts.

Thanks,
Rick"

ITM is good, never heard of rock but its not all that important.

 

[FarmerD]

ITM is just an importer... what are the actual brands of the components?

 

[Vantec89]

AWESOME! i hope other people have good things to say...because, that is a hell of a deal!

 

[Vantec89]

oh ok...i just emailed him again. thanks alot!

 

[Vantec89]

ok...so, i messaged him asking about the brand of the components and this is what he said.

"The only brand I know of besides ITM is the bearings are by GMB.

Thanks,
Rick"

i bought the same kit but for a d16a6 from the same person last month and they were all by ITM Engine Components which is located in carson,ca...they seem good quality and Rick is very helpful and answers any questions you might have...i say go for it...!!!

 

[kaace]

do it...

i used an oem belt and got my water pump from kragen...didnt replace the tensioner...also got the gasket kit at kragen...

While we find your parts, please enter your ZIP Code at CSK Auto

 

[FarmerD]

it seems to be a decent kit....

the only other suggestion i have is to ask the seller where the parts are made...

if its china, its prolly crap. if its japan, they are good.


i recently saw OEM Honda parts in packages that say "Made in China"

lol

i bought a kit off of rockauto.com for about $70 shipped. i can share the discount code if youd like.
