FD water pump housing on 12A engine...
 

Does anyone know if FD water pump housing will fit on 12A with FD pins?? I have 12A in my RX2 and bunch of FD parts. If I could use the FD housing on the 12A, I could even put the FD alternator.

I had a belt break on me and the 12A over heated. Engine is fine but Don't want that happening again...

If Any of you know this, I would greatly appreciate it, before I take mine apart..

i pmed you

I did a 2nd gen housing, but haven't heard of anyone doing a 3rd gen yet. Good luck, and take some pics if you do it. :)

The pullies are different so you might need to swap your other pullies over to FD.

If you know the answer would you please post it in the thread so everyone can share in the knowledge?

well i have never used an FD pump on a 12a, BUT i have used an FC housing on a 12a with the 12a pump. That connected right together without any issues. Being that i used a 13b housing on a 12a, i can't see why the FD pump assembly wont work. The only issue i had was created but using the aluminum 12a pump with the aluminum 13b housing. The alternator mount portion doesn't line up to give you a place to connect the tension bracket

what i did instead was pull one of the studs out after mounting and used a long bolt instead. Then i modified an air pump bracket to work.
