The instructions said so and the heater tube the one there's so if you look at it right now on my car on a 95, I'm not sure about the foxes I don't know if it has the same heater tube assembly but one end is longer than the other one. The one that goes to the water pump is longer than the other one that houses the ECT sensor. That one needs to be trimmed three and a quarter inches and the other part of the tube is fine but the sensor will need to be relocated because it will interfere and likely hit the alternator when the alternator is moved.The Vortech V3 makes you move the ECT?

lol that's why i always try and any new question say for my 95I keep forgetting this is an SN
lol just looked and the instructions and yeah they are specific to the 94-95.Same same. Makes sense now.
Dumb question maybe but does the installation instructions tell you where to put the ECT? It seems like Vortech would have made it fairly clear. I know you mentioned some potential clearance issues with the ECT plug but can’t recall the exact reasoning.lol just looked and the instructions and yeah they are specific to the 94-95.
no but it just has to go in a functional spot that's going to allow it to get accurate readings. Talking to my homie who's doing a 440 in his 94 and running a Holley intake/ect, he showed me what he did and I'll likely mimic that or something simillar. He bought a brass pipe fitting 3/8 npt female to 3/8 npt male adapter that screws into the intake. He also bought a and not sure what the name of the block is ( he sent me the youtube video:Dumb question maybe but does the installation instructions tell you where to put the ECT?

you still around man lol? I got the IAT sensor figured out but few more questions. Looking back at your pics here I saw you are running your ECT the same way I planned with Vortech's instruction of trimming the heater tube 3 1/4 " and running there 5/8" supplied hose from the firewall to the water pump. The ect will hit the back of alternator and also needs to be removed and relocated. Looks like you have the hose connected to the front of the tube still, did you trim it and still used the hose? More pics if you have would help.^I don't have any experience with the 94-95.
Looking at you pic i see how different they are. It's just got to go somewhere in that tube. Doesn't really matter too much where. I'd keep it as far away from the MAF as possible as a rule of thumb. Just not to disrupt its readings. But that's just a suggestion.
I've had mine three ways now.
First was with the entry kit. The elbow that it ships with actually has a bung you can use. I have no idea why it's not utilized. It just needs to be drilled out and a nipple threaded in.
I dont have picture of that. But I do have the elbow from the upgraded discharge pipe with bypass. The large bung on the bottom is for the bypass. The smaller one on top is threaded but sealed off. All you gotta do is drill ot out and put in a threaded hose barb there for your PCV inlet. The entry level kit was almost exactly the same except it didn't have the bypass bung.
Then the UPR. Its plastic and not great to thread into. I epoxyied several layers of thin plastic. Like a plywood construction of plastic/epoxy/plastic/epoxy and let dry to build up the thickness. Then I drilled it out and tapped it with a NPT tap.
The little silver canister is an oil seperator.
While I feel it would hold up, I really didn't like the "makeshift" bung. So i went with the Anderson Powerpipe I posted earlier and welded a bung in for the PCV let.
Then powdercoated it.
No worries I'll get it figured outI found it. So that thread was getting rid of the heater core tubes and he has no heat. Not a good example at all.
I not sure what your talking about. Must be the ECT is an interference with something on the 94-95?you still around man lol? I got the IAT sensor figured out but few more questions.

oh and also reading up on another thread on the corral where they list the supplied hose as 5/8 and just called vortech too. He said they don't have anyone call with questions so the supplied hose must work. But the barbed fitting on water pump that goes to the heater core is 3/4", not 5/8. So reading up on this other thread now to see what they ende up doing to.
I have it figured out now how I'm going to do it and that tube you have from my research that is a fox tube. My 94 Cobra tube is not like that it has the ECT in the front. So from vortex instructions you have to cut the longest portion of the tube which is not the one that the ECT is in. The ECT has to be relocated as well because the sensor itself is going to be too long and it's going to hit the back of the alternator. So I'm just going to run an npt adapter that's going to actually it has three spots so one is going to house the sensor the other is going to house the other tube from the firewall so I can still have heat, and the other portion is screwing into where the tube screwed intoI not sure what your talking about. Must be the ECT is an interference with something on the 94-95?
My ECT is just mounted in the factory style tube. Mines a "cobra" style that doesn't have the coolant tubes for the EGR cooler. Other than that it's just an factory replacement. No cutting or trimming.
Looks like this
You might be overthinking this. Vortech has sold thousands of these kits. Just use what they send you. It'll work.
Just got this off of Google I couldn't find anything on glow shift:What is the current load of the gauge you are supporting?
What is the gauge of the feed wire to the fuse that you're tapping?
