![]() has anyone had any experience with explorer
intake manifolds on mustangs? I was given an upper intake that does not have an egr passage cast into it. how was the egr connec- ted with this manifold? the part no. on the upper intake is XL2Z-9424-EA. the lower intake is F87E-9K461-BA. do these even belong together? ------------------ |

![]() Questions like these belong in the Windsor Power Forum, which is where I'm transferring this topic. You'll receive more responses there, too.
![]() However, if I remember correctly, the Exploder intakes use an external EGR tube that attaches to the exhaust manifold...er mebbe it's the later Mustang 5.0's. Don't know this for sure, but that's the way I remember it. The lower intake numbers seem to be okay, but are you SURE the upper is an XL??? I thought only Ford's experimental and/or prototype stuff was encoded this way(?). ------------------ Capri306, Moderator, The Mustang Works Online ![]() ![]() |

![]() Capri is right about explorers connected to the exhaust manifold, i have an explorer intake and i removed the egr valve completely and blocked off the port on the egr spacer, i've heard people say that it wont run right like this, not sure why they think that but it has run fine ever since i pulled it off
are you sure it was the upper that didnt have the egr passage? i thought the lower on mine was the one that didnt, i could be wrong though ------------------ 88 Notch, B&M Ripper, 3.73's, Ported E7's, Explorer int. w/ ported lower, pulleys, 1.7RR's, BBK headers, off-road H-pipe, flowmasters, subframes, 65mm TB, March ram air ,MSD coil, U/L control arms, 155lph f/p, Crane Adj.FPR, Nitto drag radials, best 1/4--> 13.76@101.4 on a 2.17 60ft |

![]() The upper manifold doesn't have anything to
cover up the EGR passage on the lower( the small hole between the runners). It also is lacking the passage at the throttle body opening. I was thinking of bending a tube to go from the lower intake and tapping into the EGR spacer directly, as my state has a 25/25 3 gas emissions test. Otherwise I'll probably fail on the NOx reading. Thanx for your responses Capri302 and fiveohpatrol! |

![]() I recently read somewhere that you need
'the earlier model Explorer intake - it has the EGR passages. Don't know what year they went to non-EGR passages, or even if top / bottom. |
