Explorer Upper And Lower

BlakeusMaximus · Oct 7, 2017

I came across a upper and lower Explorer intake. I know that with heads and cam they are worth putting on. What if the upper and lower are installed on a stock motor? Is it worth it and will I feel a difference or should I just wait until I get heads and a cam and do it all at once?

Or should i just sell this set up and buy a/m hci and roll with that?

I run a Cobra intake (which is pretty much the same thing as a Explorer intake) with stock heads. It definitely helps above 4000 RPMs, but nothing huge. If you don't mind spending a little time on the install it's worth doing.

These intakes can actually perform really good with aftermarket heads if you have the lower ported. Check out Tmoss's website. He has tons of info on it.

You don't say what year your stang is or its intended use.
Go to the tech/how to threads and look through there, you will find helpful info on modifications and the order of priority. Once you decide, then you can make a plan.
That intake is a good upgrade over stock, you should consider heads, the stock heads are a known limitation, so are the brakes, upgrading hp requires upgraded brakes

So I pulled a RF-F77E-9425-AB out of a mountieer. Any thoughts?

1988 GT. Just a weekend warrior. Nothing crazy, just trying to get it to run a little faster.

i think that is the non EGR version?

BlakeusMaximus · Oct 8, 2017

The EGR will have to be tapped correct? It’s still is usable intake, right?

BlakeusMaximus · Oct 8, 2017

Can you guys tell me based off my pictures if I have the explorer intake people want for thier stang? 1988 GT.

BlakeusMaximus · Oct 8, 2017

Sorry, here’s my picture.

That's the correct intake, notice the egr passages in the center. I believe the 97 and later intakes have the remote egr.

Oh and I see 3 different posts about explorer intakes from you sir. Let me fixorate that

BlakeusMaximus · Oct 8, 2017

Thanks man, I suck at posting stuff sometimes. I was worried when I pulled it off the vehicle this morning at pull and pay that it was the wrong one. Funny, it was off a 98 Mountaineer. So just to be sure, that’s the intake I would want to use?

BlakeusMaximus · Oct 8, 2017

These are the part numbers off the lower and upper intakes.

Mustang5L5 · Oct 8, 2017

-AB is the early, more desirable intake with the internal EGR, act boss on runner 5, and upper intake with beefier mounting ears

Cool, thanks guys. I’ve learned a lot the past couple days on these things. I was at you pull and pay, saw one and just grabbed it. I figured I could always return it or sell it if it wasn’t the desirable one. Is there any thing I need to do differently when installing it versus stock?? Or is it plug and play?

General karthief · Oct 9, 2017

Pretty much plug and play

The throttle body on it is larger than stock but must be modified to work on a fox.

BlakeusMaximus · Oct 9, 2017

I don’t have the throttle body, someone took that off before I got to it. What other throttle body can I use? Any aftermarket? Hopefully?

Any throttle body for a 5.0 mustang will bolt right up.
