Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!
If you have any problems with the registration process or your account login, please contact us!
Haha, it's in the project forum now, if that's what you meant.
Thanks!
Yep thats what I meant, so hows it looking for the tune, will it be here in time to take the car out to woodward friday night? I am curious to see how big of a difference this makes...

That..I don't know...I REALLY hope it is - but I might have them overnight it once it's built...
Here are a few pictures I took when I got the O2 bung welded in - it was really close quarters, but he got it done.
Trans will stay stock - these are V6-designed transmissions, so they're rated to like 250 lb-ft or something...
Taking a break now, gonna wait for my dad to come home and help me move some grounds around (I don't like electricity - and he did car stereo for 30 or 40 years, so he knows what he's doing)

"Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."
"For you who believe all you read, I caution you - you are daily being brainwashed for profit by extremely effective psychology with very little regard to factual accuracy. In short, you're at the mercy of the world's greatest bullshit artists with the morals of a stray tomcat." - Smokey Yunick
Injector Harness disconnected and out of the way, Moved the grounds to the right bolt (one used to be on the left-most bolt in that row)
Intake Manifold Mount, Heat Exchanger Pump Bracketry and Heat Exchanger Pump In
View of the pump and bracket from underneath - this was very tight access...
How'd that get there...
Fuel Rail Removed
Fuel Rail - Stock Injectors
Stock Injectors out of rail
Empty Rail - awaiting new #42 Injectors
Intake Manifold Installed - let me tell you - this was the biggest ***** of anything I've ever done. The manifold is huge - and the area is about huge +/- an inch...it SUCKED, but I got it in there.
MAP sensor with some shrink tubing around the center - this piece is not designed for the intake manifold...
Installed: Note the few washers under the bolt, to get it to sit somewhat flat...
Fuel Rail Reinstalled with new injectors
The car and some of the mess in my driveway
Had to JB weld the little boost nipple because the idiot before me managed to bend this way to the right (it's supposed to point straight out), and I bent it back as far as I could, it cracked, so I bent it a little the way it was before, and JB welded to make sure it's sealed - hopefully my Boost reading is unaffected...
Starting to get dark - fast.
Done for the night
Sleepy Time for young, faceless, Balto...
Few things I learned today:
Getting cut while working on a car is fun and adds to the experience - good stories to tell.
Gas will eat through anything - especially red, plastic Solo cups. When I pulled the rail, and the first injector, I prepared myself with paper towels and a solo cup to catch the fuel in the rail/line...the cup cracked a little bit from the impact from me getting the injector out - but then seemed fine - until the walls of the cup became paper thin, and the bottom of the cup FELL OFF...and dumped gas everywhere...thank god it evaporates so fast, but damn! The solo cup, where it had been "cut" by the gas was literally melted - and tried to stick to my driveway.
My back hurts, and I'm covered with dirt and engine filth...and I love it.
Can't wait for tomorrow!
