Explorer Intake Questions

fastford3388 · February 19th, 2009, 05:12 PM

Hey guys,

I picked up a upper and lower mercury mariner intake at the junkyard today for $100! good deal eh? but anyways, They gave me the throttle body, the throttle body elbow, the fuel rails, and the injectors too!

Does anyone know what the specs are on the stock injectors and fuel rails for that thing are and is it possible to use them on my car when i install the intake?

Also, Should i stick with my straight throttle body spacer or switch to this curved one that came with the intake?

thanks for your help!

injectors should be 19 lbs and id ditch the explorer elbow and just put the mustang stuff on the upper intake

i dont even think the elbow will fit in ur car..thats for the 94-95 5.0's

its not a 45 degree piece, its a full 90* elbow that runs parallel to the upper intake and the tb mounts on it facing the front of the vehicle

anyone know if the explorer injectors are any good? will they work with my ecu? should I use them over the stock injectors?

your stock injectors are 19s

theyre the same injectors your car has

They are kinda different.

Dude the size does not mean anything. Keep your injectors. Don't use the new rails tb or elbow. Just use the upper and lower, and put your parts on it.

the elbow would be completely pointless and actually hurt a few hp. plus you would have to change throttle cable and tv cable if youre auto. in other words throw it away

couldnt he use that new throttle body/.....isnt it a lil bigger than stock mustang

fastford3388 · February 20th, 2009, 06:19 PM

ok thanks guys.

I've got a 70mm bbk TB for the new setup so the one of the explorer is up for sale..

I was just curious about the injectors, I guess i've got a set of explorer injectors to sell...
