Couple of intake questions

fast5.0lx · March 3rd, 2011, 05:11 PM

I'm looking to pick up a new intake, so far its a toss up between the cobra intake and the typhoon intake. I've used the typhoon before, but not the cobra. Does any one have any suggestions? I'm just looking for a cheap temp intake until I can order the trick flow top end kit. I have an explorer intake on it now. But it's a non egr intake.

fast5.0lx · March 3rd, 2011, 05:12 PM

Also what size is the throttle body opening on the cobra intake?

fogged306 · March 3rd, 2011, 05:29 PM

TB opening on a cobra is 70MM. There's some guys on here that have used the typhoon that can give their opinion. I've only seen pictures of the casting flash and people talking about how it's a crap shoot if you get one that needs a lot of clean up or one that's in decent shape.

fast5.0lx · March 3rd, 2011, 06:19 PM

Well im ordering one of the two tonight I just gotta decide.

ryanw · March 3rd, 2011, 06:45 PM

cobra and the explorer are almost the same intake. They are a cast version of the tubular gt40 intake. I think you should stick with the intake you have untill you get the trick flow top end kit

fast5.0lx · March 3rd, 2011, 09:32 PM

the problem with the intake i have now, is with it being a non egr intake the throttle body mounting pad is cut different on the bottom, and it leaves two holes in the egr spacer. I'm finding all these problems now that i've started working on it

fogged306 · March 3rd, 2011, 09:44 PM

Got a pic of the holes? Maybe we can figure out a solution. I've used jb weld on EGR ports in the past.

fast5.0lx · March 3rd, 2011, 09:51 PM

i cant get pics, its on the underside of the throttle body.

1989Gt. · March 3rd, 2011, 09:54 PM

cant you just replace the egr spacer?

fast5.0lx · March 3rd, 2011, 10:00 PM

all the egr spacers i've seen are the same. I'll try to get some pics tomorrow

1989Gt. · March 3rd, 2011, 10:22 PM

they have smog legal ones... And just replace the top manifold and get another gt40 its the same as the cobra....

fast5.0lx · March 3rd, 2011, 10:38 PM

the lower i have on there now doesn't have the air charge sensor bung in it

fogged306 · March 3rd, 2011, 10:44 PM

It's easy as hell to pull the upper off to take pics. Shouldn't take you more than 10-15 minutes at the very most to have the upper completely off.. plus it's good practice, hah.

You can drill and tap the runner for the ACT sensor pretty easily too. I forget the thread pitch and size, but if you plan on actually doing it I can easily find them.

fast5.0lx · March 3rd, 2011, 11:07 PM

oh i can have the upper off in 5 mins. the cars at my work though. so it will be tomorrow

and just plug the act sensor in and leave it laying by the injectors. Tapping the intakes not worth the work, car will run the same either way

fast5.0lx · March 4th, 2011, 09:06 AM

I recently saw a diagram showing the egr valve and fpr having different vacuam sources, and the map sensor having a manifold vacuam. My egr valve and fpr are sharing a vacuam line coming off the driver side firewall tree. Is that ok? also theres no vacuam line hooked up to the map sensor, Would that cause it to run rich?

fast5.0lx · March 4th, 2011, 09:10 AM

There is a tubular gt40 intake on ebay for $500, is it worth it?

fogged306 · March 4th, 2011, 09:23 AM

It flows identical to the intake you have now. Unless you're buying it for looks, it's not worth a penny over what you've got.

fast5.0lx · March 4th, 2011, 10:16 AM

Ok. I wont touch it then.
