Explorer intake question????

jrh_1980 · May 26th, 2008, 02:12 PM

anyone using an explorer intake?? I put it on my 89 lx and there is no port dirlled for the air charge temp sensor. I don't really wanna go drilling with the intake on the car so are there any options????

i thought they pretty much just bolt right in

jrh_1980 · May 26th, 2008, 02:16 PM

they bolt in just fine but there is no hole drilled for the sensor. I was wondering if i could just plug the sensor in and leave it laying under the upper intake.

i hope someone awnsers you cuz im looking into getting an explporer intake as well

it's an intake off a 99 exploder. i heard something like 96 and older had the ACT sensor hole drilled in them. I was wondering if i could just drill a hole between my MAF and throttle body and achieve the same results??????

yeah you can relocated the ACT to the intake plumbing. Or just take the lower back off and use a drill and tap to put it in the intake runner.

cool. will it give a false reading if i just leave it plugged in and lay it on the intake, not screwed into anything?

^Yes, it will tell the EEC underhood temperature, not the actual intake air temperature.

so 96 and older intakes are just bolt on?

96 and 97s had the internal EGR passages but you have to deal with the ACT and EGR coolant return line holes if you need them.
