To me, it doesn't look realistic.
The problem is the distribution plate. The plate is made to accept only Bykski pumps, and the interface between the pump and plate is by o-rings. If you tried to use the EK pump, you would have no way of connecting it to the distro plate.
If you think the pump is the problem you can try replacing it with the same model. That would be relatively straight forward. You would have to drain the loop, swap the pump, reconnect the power and pwm cables, and refill the loop. There's guides online for draining and filling loops. That's likely your best bet.
Thank you for your feedback. I've read that the Bykski DDC pump is a "clone" of the Xylem / Laing DDC pump - so I was hopeful that the EKWB / Xylem / Liang DDC pump would mate to the Bykski disto plate.
I'm still very eager to hear from anyone who has replaced a Bykski DDC with a EKWB / Xylem / Liang DDC pump.
In the meantime I'll follow your advice (partially). I'll drain the loop and try disassembling the pump and cleaning it internally, as my father-in-law used to run the EK Solid / Matte CryoFuel coolant which may have gummed up the impeller and thrown off the balance.
