How replacing stock air box, by KKM

[baphomet666]

Today I am setting up my KKM

I know there is already a topic on the installation of KKN*/**. i made the pictures gradually for members concerned for Explorer years 90-94


I need

and this of course

1) Remove the battery cable

2) Remove the factory airbox assembly
a)Loosen the clamp holding the intake pipe to the throttle body

b)Unplug the connector from the MAF

c) Disconnect the two vacuum lines from the top of the air box

d) and remove the rubber hose running between the oil fill and the intake pipe.

e)Remove the two screws holding the air box lid in place. Now you can remove the whole top half of the assembly by pulling and twisting the intake pipe connection at the throttle body.

f). (KKM recommends that you remove the heat riser assembly and the stock intake tube. I left mine in place in case there is a problem with emissions requirements during an inspection also here in FRANCE. Leaving it in place does not interfere with the operation or installation of the True-Rev-Kit.)

3)Reinstall the intake pipe assembly to the throttle body leaving the clamp loose. Line up the brackets on the MAF with the existing airbox base plate in such a way that the air filter is unobstructed and so that the intake pipe is not interfering with any engine parts such as the alternator pulley. When you find a suitable location mark and drill holes through the base plate. In my specific installation I needed to supply a 1-1/2" x 1/4-20 bolt. This bolt passed through the base plate and the inner fender well

4) Recheck for clearance around the entire installation. If everything looks good, tighten the MAF bracket bolts, the intake pipe clamp and reinstall the MAF connector.
a)

5)install a stopper This is the line that runs to the manifold. The other line can be left open or removed depending if you decided to keep your stock heat riser in place or not..I have done for both

6). Reinstall your battery cable.

Go out and enjoy your new found power and throaty sound from the high performance intake system.

I spent 1:30 to dismantling and assembling the KKM !!! and 1 to this thread !!! Now is pleased he sings much better my EXPLORER.

I concur, high quality write-up for a non-english speaker. Heck, high quality even if he were a native english speaker.

The one coming from the engine you block off with a plug or bolt or something. The other one you discard, it opens and closes a valve that allows the intake to draw heated air from around the exhaust manifold for emissions purposes.

Have a look at the last picture in his write-up. He left both hoses in place, which is useful if you ever want to revert the system to stock.

I need

Nah, the tool on the bottom is the only one you ever need

You should not need to clean it yet.

If you do need to clean it however,

1: spray the filter cleaner onto the filter and let it sit for a few minutes.

2: rinse. Use clean cold water and spray on the inside of the filter so it pushes everything out.

3: allow the filter to dry completely

4: spray new oil onto the filter, do not oversaturate.

As the others have posted you simply need to block both of the hoses.

Also take a peek a the Airbox Lower intake Thread for more info and a video on how the system works.
