GT40 Heads Intake

shadowgames81 · June 26th, 2008, 10:53 PM

My buddy said his intake doesn't have coolin ports to match up to his gt40 heads. Whats he talkin about and is this something to worry about or out of the norm?

shadowgames81 · June 26th, 2008, 10:57 PM

Don't know if it makes a difference but I think they are cobra gt40 heads and the intake is a Exploder gt40 intake

shadowgames81 · June 26th, 2008, 11:01 PM

I don't think he's right or something because people do it all the time but just wanna know what you guys think.

shadowgames81 · June 28th, 2008, 10:16 AM

No one can help me? Doesn't anyone know about this?

The ports on my gt40 heads and explorer intake matched up fine. I am not 100% sure but I believe all the lowers the explorer, cobra and the real gt40 are pretty much the same.

ryans88gt · June 28th, 2008, 10:58 AM

Are you sure he isn't talking about EGR ports?

shadowgames81 · June 28th, 2008, 12:08 PM

he said between the lower and upper intake....main problem is he listens to his damn brother too much even though he's a chevy guy......he even tried to say the turbocoupe rear end I got for him wasn't an 8.8, like I said he keeps sayin the water passage between the lower and upper intake. He sais the passage is in the lower but not on the upper. I know people use the uppers all the time w/ no prob so I'm trying to figure out what it could be, if its a problem, or if its not supposed to be there and its no big deal. If I post pics would it be easier??

ryans88gt · June 28th, 2008, 07:23 PM

There are no coolant passages going from the lower to the upper intake. Tell your buddy he is a moron and that is the EGR passage. All he has to do is pull the vacuum line off the EGR and make sure the valve is closed after he bolts it on. THe EGR will not function anymore. If he wants EGR he needs a pre 1997 explobra intake.

shadowgames81 · June 29th, 2008, 01:48 PM

Oh I agree he's a moron but I think his brother is too. He needs to keep his retarded cehvy opinion to himself cuz he knows nothing, and I mean NOTHING about Ford. He just try's to find shit online and is obviously going to the wrong places. I didn't think there was a problem but I haven't seen it for myself yet. I'll try to post pics so you can tell me what you think it is also but it prolly is the egr. Doesn't matter if he doesn't have an egr anyways does it?

shadowgames81 · June 29th, 2008, 06:14 PM

sposed to be gettin pics by tonight but we'll see. So supposedly his brother has a book from barnes and noble and it sais that intake is no good w/o this water passage......his dumbass brother is gettin on my nerves so I really wanna get something to prove him wrong. I told him after this don't bother askin for help anymore cuz all his brother does is bitch and complain about every deal I get him and say its wrong and won't work.

shadowgames81 · June 29th, 2008, 07:52 PM

Let me know what you guys think. Is it ok or is this gonna be a problem. He's talking about the hole right in the center.

shadowgames81 · June 29th, 2008, 08:36 PM

Anyone know if its ok or not?

saldoggs · June 29th, 2008, 08:42 PM

the intake he has does not have the egr set up in the lower its no big deal unless the car has to go threw emissions

shadowgames81 · June 29th, 2008, 08:44 PM

but the hole in the middle is for coolant right?? and the one he has doesn't have the hole in it at all. Does that make a problem?

shadowgames81 · June 29th, 2008, 08:57 PM

I know people use the intakes so really want it to work and be able to rub it in his bro's face.

saldoggs · June 29th, 2008, 09:21 PM

the only place coolant flows threw the lower intake is at the front and the rear not in the middle when he buys the intake gaskets there will 2 small pieces of exhaust gasket that fit into the intake gasket that you can block off the the exhaust from going up to the lower intake that intake will work fine with his car

shadowgames81 · June 29th, 2008, 09:23 PM

his brother has some damn book that sais its a coolant hole and he won't shuttup about it. so its really an exhaust hole?

shadowgames81 · June 29th, 2008, 09:23 PM

frankly I don't know why coolant would be there but just wanna make sure its not a coolant passage he needs.

Like Ryan said, that hole is an EGR passage, not a coolant passage. Your friend is a moron and tell him to read this post if he has any doubt that he is a moron.

shadowgames81 · June 29th, 2008, 09:33 PM

haha thanks guys.....wasn't sure what ryan meant cuz posted the pics later. so that hole runs form the egr valve and recirculates it back down in the intake through that hole then I take it. Explorer didn't have the egr so it didn't need the hole. Awesome. So he doesn't need an egr then(ask before he or his dumb brother asks)? Gettin tired of doin his homework for him but thanx for all the help guys.
