[quote=”nightflyr” post=201967]Sorry ..
I was was addressing your question:
[i][b]I’m pretty sure Aisin is NOT the way to go for the water pump.
The OE manufacturer is a company called “Yamada” which I’ve not seen publicly available .[/b][/i]But you are now conflicting your question by stating this…
Yes I can source an OEM Yamada from many online distributors.
FYI,
AISIN is one of many OEM part manufacturers used by Honda
Honda doesn’t make their parts. They call upon NSK, NGK, AISIN, BANDO, KEIHIN, NIPPON, DENSO, GATES and many more. American brands like Gates, Japan like Aisin and I believe Nippon is Korean, even as their OEM manufacturers.[/quote]Not sure how you are reading the posts I made, but just to requote myself about the Yamada water pump:
“The kit I want to get includes a “NPW” (Nissan Pump Works) water pump. Does anyone know if this is actually a Yamada ?”
I didn’t ask for where to get a Yamada pump. I wasn’t contradicting anything I said. I don’t think you read the forum (about 2-3 posts long)
Is NPW a distributor of Yamada pumps ?
Yamada is indicated as the OEM on Honda parts diagrams for my car.
Much like the AC compressor maker “Sanden”, you cant get a Sanden marked compressor directly. Sanden is the OEM manufacturer some of Honda’s compressors. Aftermarket compressors are advertised as “Sanden style”. Honda gets them from Sanden, however.
Yes I can source an OEM Yamada from many online distributors. That wasnt what I was looking/asking for.
My question was is the cheaper aftermarket kit water pump made by NPW (Nissan Pump Works) actually a re-branded Yamada ?
I’m pretty sure Aisin is NOT the way to go for the water pump. The OE manufacturer is a company called “Yamada” which I’ve not seen publicly available . I’m guessing some of the aftermarket companies use a Yamada and re-label it, but need to find out who that is.
