To replace EWP or not I have roughly 50k miles and 5 years on my current CSR EWP. I am getting ready to make a 600 mile round trip down to Houston for TX2K12 next week. No racing will be involved, strictly going to watch. After lots of searching, I finally found a company who had one new CSR pump in stock. I ordered it today and will have it by Thursday.
Since my current pump isn't giving me any issues, think I should just stick with the old "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" saying, or go ahead and swap it before the trip. Either way, I will be taking a spare with me on the trip.

I agree there is some anxiety behind having one. But honestly, it has been just as reliable as my stocker so far.

That is my plan, just wanting to see what others thought on it too. Awesome man, it's going to be a good time! Eh, we will see. I don't want to risk the chance of something breaking that far from home. But if the pump fails, I can change it in under 10 minutes with all of the room I now have in the front of the engine bay

Ive been thinking the same thing with mine also. Im going on the hot rod power tour this year and is gonna be around a 4500mi round trip for me. Are the csr water pumps getting hard to find? Thats what i have and it would suck to have to put a different one in.

CSR will rebuild them, but I called them 6-8 months ago and they said the price was around $120 if I remember right, plus shipping. I figured by that point, I would be better off buying one brand new, and then having my old pump as a spare to carry in the car. Especially since you can get a new CSR pump for under $200 shipped.
i have one and love it now have only had ayr but i read somewhere that ewp is the biggest hp gain per dollar there is so that alone helps and having a water seal right above ur ign system isnt very gd either ......imo
