I know if u look , the aisin was carved out of the aluminum.Not 1G but my 2G pump has Aisin cast into the housing, its from mitsu direct but is NOS so they could have adjusted the design due to wear of the tool or they sold it to aomeone who now makes them
Well I found it interesting that minus the casting being ground off, the pump is 100% the same, the impeller is even metal unlike the gates which I believe is some type of fiber reinforced plastic. It's also priced cheaper than several other pumps including a dorman I believe. The oem pump goes for 140+ last time I looked. This is rockauto for the recordAs you know it happens all the time. Oem anything is always overpriced. A gates pump is only $25. A Denso 02 sensor is $20 online, buy it through mitsu and it's like $80 or a $2 denso oil filter is same as OEM without the mitsu logo. It baffles me sometimes when people don't understand that someone makes OEM parts. I actually had a guy at a Chrysler parts counter tell me that Mopar makes their water pumps, as well as the majority of OEM parts. He didn't have a good answer when I asked about interchangeable numbers for mitsu/Mopar parts.
