Cold Air Intake for 91-94 Explorers

adam52604 · 05-17-2006, 05:38 PM

I was looking at the product reviews and could not figure out how to add this. I found a cold air intake that appears to be very high quality. I am looking to order it and was wondering if anyone here has used it? It can be found at http://www.ifab.net/products/93intake/91Ex/index.html

that isnt an actual cold air intake, it is an open element intake however.... welcome to the site, and do a search for it.... that chrome tube is more for bling than anything, and many people are happy with the kkm, www.kustomz.com

adam52604 · 05-17-2006, 06:19 PM

so are you saying this intake is a waste of money? will it perform equal to or better than the kkm

Exploderpilot · 05-17-2006, 06:51 PM

for the money, get the kkm.....

skoobydoobiedew · 05-17-2006, 08:39 PM

If you got the kkm and decided you wanted a larger diameter intake tube (between maf and throttle body) you can always make one. I made mine out of 3" abs drain pipe. $20 project that looks nice and performs great! Many others on here have done the same mod. I run that with an open element filter w/adapter I bought off ebay for like $20. It's something to consider.

Ive had both the kkm and the ifab.net which i currently have...i am using the kkm filter with the ifab.net intake pipe cause the filter they supplied was poor quality i thought..Id go with the kkm and save the extra 100.00

Damn, I've been looking all over ebay for an adapter for a first gen. What size adapter is it? Do you remember which ebay seller? Was it listed for an explorer, or was it listed under a different ford that used the same size maf sensor?

Good call Pughman! Mine is basically the same: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2237262/3 (scroll down)
As for the adapter just search a little on Ebay. I don't remember the seller, but I think the company was like.. "BoMz RaCiNg" or somethin rediculous.. lol

Josh · 05-17-2006, 10:45 PM

I think Pep Boys and Auto Zone have those adapters now(15 bucks). Pep Boys has prefabbed pipes with elbows and everything if you are looking for that bling factor.

ExporeRanger · 05-25-2006, 10:12 PM

for those guys who made ther own intake tube..anyway you could get some dimensions on here to make it easier for me to do the same?!..thanks alot

Josh · 05-26-2006, 04:59 AM

I tried the MAF adapter from pep boys. Its to small.

This is a link to ebay where they have that same intake kit for $154. Shipping and all.

skoobydoobiedew · 05-29-2006, 10:21 AM

Heres Mine:

All custom and under $35 including filter.

Creager · 05-29-2006, 12:06 PM

Hey pugman, where did you get that elbo peice off of for your oil breather?

ExporeRanger · 05-29-2006, 01:56 PM

hey any of you PCV piping guys!..any measurements that could help me cut andmake my own intake tubing?

calylove · 06-03-2006, 08:40 AM

How bout it? Where did you get the little elbow to attach the oil breather?

calylove · 06-06-2006, 09:06 AM

Ok guys, I did find an elbow that will work to attach an oil breather. I'm not even sure what this thing does for the truck, but it looks cool, and they make the blue color that matches the intakes from MAC of IFAB, or red to match the filters themselves. Anyway, I went to Advanced Auto, and by the misc. parts wall I found a product made by a company called HELP!. The part is a 5/8"" Heater Hose Elbow and the part number is 47062. I utilized a small piece of the current hose to help connect.I looked in the same area and found metal clamp connectors that worked perfect, and something called a rubber bypass cap that I used to cap off the hole coming off the intake tube. Anyway, if anyone wants to see, I'll post some pics.

Creager · 06-06-2006, 02:56 PM

I just read on RPS that not hooking that oil-breather to the pipe will cause the truck to run in a lean condition, as you are allowing unmetered air into the intake. That breather is apart of the PCV system which recirrculates blow-by gasses and what not back into the intake.

i dont run lean.. rich if anything....
