Default Explorer Intake Install

MY '92 GT is ready for the explorer intake (upper and lower). Do I really need to drill and tap some holes? if so, which? Or can I just Install it without drilling anything? Another question, I know there is no power gains without the EGR, but can I just Remove it from my car anyway?

youll see some gains but little from removing the egr. thats only if you do the total package.


for the GT40E intake. you will have to drill atleast one hole. its on the number 5 runner for the ACT. you dont really need to drill a hole for the return coolant unless you use the coolant going thru the EGR spacer

You do not have to drill the hole for the ACT sensor in the manifold, you can extend the wires and put it in the air intake tube between the MAF and the throttle body. Thats where mine is located and it has no adverse effects.

some get bad readings from teh ACT being in the intake. you still have to drill and tap a spot for the sensor, so why not put it in the right spot
