What gasket

95GTMan · 03-21-2005, 02:56 PM

I am going to go ahead and put this intake on my car. So can I use a Ford gasket if not which felpro gasket do I need? 1250? This is for an explorer intake same as cobra/gt-40.

Yep, that's the one you want. You can also get the 1262, which is the same except that it doesn't have the cut-outs for the EGR ports.

Would that hurt anything to block the EGR ports. Also I will be deleting it all together whan I pu tthe new intake on.

get gasket for an explorer

Much cheaper than the 1250/1262's

If you unplug the vacuum to the EGR, then you're basically disabling it anyway. The valve is designed not to operate under WOT (which is determined by the vacuum line), so unplugging the vaccum line simulates a WOT condition all te time.

Not sure about the EEC-V, but the EEC-IV cars won't trip any codes as long as you leave the EGR sensor's electrical connector hooked up.

Yeah it will throw a code, but there are ways to keep the sensor tripped with it unhooked.

If the calibration is left untouched then disconnecting the EGR vacuum will trip a code. If you disable the EGR in the scalars of the Tweecer then the code will not be set.

Another quick note:

If an EGR code is set then the EEC will pull out a few degrees of spark to compensate for the higher CO2. It is best to disable the EGR in the Tweecer.

Clint,
95gtman is not running a tweecer.
