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!

My water pump might be taking a poop as it is leaking on the bottom side directly onto the opti So I am thinking about doing the electric pump conversion. Anyone else running one? Or have experience's good or bad with them on our LTx engines?
Here's a sig with my old ride: (Everyone else has a cool sig I had to do something!)
First off, you might wanna change out that opti now. Or take it apart and clean it out and let it dry really well. As for the EWP, I have heard that they don't last very long at all.

i have one and love it, first off it wasn't to bad to do, i plugged off the port on the timing chain cover, And this way when im at the track i can cool the motor down by just turning the key to on and my motor runs cooler now to, but i did have to cut my radiator fans a bit.
I've heard very good things about the EWP's. It's more of a personal choice, i doubt you will feel any extra power. They cool better in traffic, but not quite aswell at highway speeds.
Any thoughts on the opti? Since it did get some water/colant on it as long as I let it sit to dry out before trying to start it it should be fine right?

We put one on Red's Stoker and she isn't having any problems.
We went with a CSR pump.

Just dry the opti up real good, i would at least try it before you just dismiss it. If it's giving you problems then you'll have to look into replacing it.

I believe joel has one too, dont think he has any problems either.
I do - i have a CSR.
Honestly i kinda regret it. Its been a pain in the ass. Ive blown to relays, so i ditched that setup which was supposed to be the safer way to wire it. Now its wired direct to the fusebox. Also the wire clip it comes with is junk, that has fallen apart on me a couple times and the pump shut off, so make sure you snip that and hard wire it.
Beyond that though, i cant complain - its done exactly what i expected. The unit itself is great, its making the wiring reliable that has been my issue. Many people have not had problems at all but i certainly havent had a reliable experience thus far. The other thing is i want to auto cross my car in the future, which makes the EWP a poor choice for my car.
I might go back to mechanical if the EWP cant keep it cool enough in auto-x.
i've only blown the circuit breaker and thats cause there 20amp is junk, so i bought a 30 and also there not water friendly lol other then that it was nice. I have 2 fuses on mine.
well now im scared more because its on my 15 amp AC fuse.
it didnt give me any problems last night, we'll see.
def change that man, mine were blowing out at the stock 15 they gave me, I upgraded them all to 20. and then the circuit breaker to a 30, next time we meet up ill show you how they want it to be done, It looks good, and it works hell of a lot better, i noticed when i ran mine off the a/c it didnt run at full power for some reason, soon as i ran its own power and ground she perked up quite a bit.
