Thanks a bunch
got mine from thunder --------->
as for difficulty, its not hard to install. you do have to press a small brass cap in your stock housing which is alot easier with a press. other than that its just wireing it.

I installed the CSI (CSR now) pump in my 94 LT1. Very easy to do. With the CSR's you have to grind little tabs out of the housing where the new e-pump will go. And like 00Z-28-LT1 said about brass plug. I did mine with just a hammer.
you can leave the cam gear drive that ran the old pump alone. If not you'll have to remove timing cover, and pull the cam gear to get it out. Not hard, just a few more minutes of work.

Note, he'll only have to cut the fan shroud if he installs a Meziere. The CSR only sticks out a couple inches. When I had mine, it came close to the fan shroud, but didnt touch it.

SDPC has them for 135.95(pt# CSI901LT1), they come with instructions, you will have to open up your water pump so the tabs off the wp fins will clear. A drimmel works well, with a metal bit. You dont have to modify the fans what so ever with a CSR pump.

This should cover you for the install. Summit Racing had the CSI pump also part # CSI-901LT1, $169.95 plus 8.95 handling fee. Scoggin Dickey is $150 now plus $12.75 shipping.
Its a very easy install.

I have heard that they will not leak on the opti, however i am on the highway alot and am not scared to put miles on my car. I have had a few people tell me to steer clear of the ewp because i drive so much...... anyone have some insight

Many people wire a light to the water pump so that if it quits, the light will come on. That or pay VERY close attention to the water temp. Many people use them on the street, you just have to watch it (like you should anyways).
