OEM...BTW did the timing belt brake while driving?? if so you need to check out your internals...because hondas are interferience engines.

the lectrical water pumps are good... but unecesary... the oem pump is fine... the lectrical ones are used on all out race motors most of the time (not really on street cars)... they do free up some hp but if ur not trying to get like 800hp its not worth it... not to mention... u cant really run in the street classes... electrical watepumps, fuel cells, etc... they're not allowwed and bump u into the pro class
