Damn, There was a thread not too long ago on here covering this but I cant remember the heading. Hit up Allen as he will know. So this is for the 20b or your old ride?

Most of the PR cars are using a Waterman pump with an E&J bracket..

wow $1,500.00 ?

RoTaRyBoYz 08-09-10 05:39 PM

$1350 mini Berta
$1500 lil Berta

Comes with all brackets, pulley and belt for a 13B

jamespond24 08-09-10 06:04 PM

I was told $850 for the whole kit from PR.

enzo250 08-09-10 06:18 PM

That seems very low. The waterman pump alone costs 700

For Waterman?? I highly doubt it's a NEW Waterman kit you're getting for that price.. A new pump by itself cost more than $850

enzo250 08-09-10 06:21 PM

You'll spend between 1200-1400 for a complete kit

rotaryB-2000 08-09-10 06:24 PM

fastec racing has pumps for 975 with all the pulleys, brackets, belts etc...
321-229-6140

enzo250 08-09-10 06:46 PM

Fastec is not waterman. Waterman is the best.

jamespond24 08-09-10 10:08 PM

How about the Rons?

RoTaRyBoYz 08-09-10 11:08 PM

This thread is funny :lol:

Lucimar had problems with his Rons pump at the pan ams, so go figure... If you want a complete, bolt-in Watermans, call Edgar - 305-259-6767 http://eastcoastparts.com/

most of the aussie guys use the aeromotive pumps, and there are plenty of mounting kits out there for them too

fuck noes if its good, but it works for many units down hear :icon_tup:

I heard aeromotive pump bearing doesn't handle high rpm? Can somebody confirm is this is true?

beefcake 08-10-10 10:29 AM

i suppose if you gear ratio it incorrectly and you tighten the belt too much then the bearing will fail, but im only mentioning this as some people have no idea on mechanical sympathy.
Even a few of our front running N/A drag cars are running the aeromotive pump , But im also not implying i know of their service history on the pumps either :)

jamespond24 08-10-10 12:07 PM

Look like I'm leaning toward the Ron's pump. Any experience input would be appreciated before I make the purchase.

13B-RX3 08-10-10 12:18 PM

I am running the aeromotive and i have not had any problems yet.

So did you test the aeromotive out yet?It look like the aeromotive is the cheapest of them all but as for longevity and reliable I was told to stay away from it. :(

13B-RX3 08-10-10 12:32 PM

Other than on the dyno and running around the house. Hopefully i can get some track time in soon.

Let me know how it goes? So now I'm aiming for the Ron's pump maybe I order it tomorrow.

SPEED_NYC 08-10-10 04:59 PM

just curious as toi why you would lean towards the Rons pump? you asked for advise here and the Rons pump is the ONLY one that NOBODY had anything positive to say about.

from what I've seen and heard the waterman is the best, hands down. fueling is not the place to start cheaping out on your build...

if the waterman is not doable because of price, why not try the aeromotive?,

but Rons??? i just dont get it from the responses here....
