Default 2 electric pumps.. which one??

CSR http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CSR-B...spagenameZWDVW

MEZIERE http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/LT1-L...spagenameZWD1V


only heard good things bout the Meziere but the CSR is a few $ cheaper so was wondering if anyone had good experiences with them?

I normally run the CSRs on the cars I work with but thru trading I ended up with a Mez on my car and have recently sent it off to Mez for them to rebuild it. I am impressed with their communication and follow up. And repair cost was not bad at all.

I have not had a CSR go bad, but have had problems from the Mez on my car and another buddy is about to send his off.

The CSR does require grinding on the housing, it is easy but the Mez goes right on after you trim the plastic of the fans.

Both require removal of the donkey shlong.

Flip a coin.

I have the CSR pump. I bought it used a year ago off Ebay and she's still running. If it ever quits, I believe I would just unbolt it and send it to CSR for repair. It wouldn't be too hard to just unbolt it out of the housing and you would never have to take it off the motor.

It's a funny thing choosing EWP's. Youll hear horror stories about both then youll hear stories from EWP haters. I say go with what makes you feel good, you cant go wrong. I went MEZIERE because I heard and seen good things with them on Mustangs so I figured why change. Also I think I saw 3 more complaints about csr than MEZIERE. Hope that helps.

I think others have shown good results. I had mine on DD/DR for 12k miles until I got rid of the car.

I have run both . My CSR lasted 500 miles before the bearings locked up. I replaced with a Meziere and have about 6000 miles on it with no problems.
