so the 2013 prius comes with an electric water pump and i want to know if anyone knows if the 1.8 prius water pump is the same as are waterpumps?
the bolt holes all look to be the same and all... my reasoning for doing this is im going no power steering and if you have seen my car you would know its 100% not street legal at all.. im only going to have to run a belt for a alternator if i can do the electric water pump.. i know some you are like why does it mater why not keep factory style belt pump.. well the pumps on are cars go out so fast due to the high amount of stress the seal and bearings take from the amount of tension are tensioners put on the pumps shaft..

well if anyone has seen a 1.8L water pump and can 100% say they are the same as the tc that would be awesome!!

 

here are pictures of the electric pump.

 

those bolt holes are not the same. you would have to make an adapter plate

 

Yeah actually just going to run a manual tensioner so I can set the tension load on it so my pump will last longer. Thanks or the input!
