2012 New Ford Explorer

[spynz]

I've installed an knn air intake. Remove the stock air box. Noticeable gain over stock. Dynotest certificate enclosed 13.5HP gain.

Bro, the gain would be in power or FC or both ? Care to post picture & shop where you got it installed + cost. TIA

[spynz]

macsd and EQ - I will post the pics soon. Try to take pics tonight. The gain is both kasi you don't have to keep your foot on the pedal kasi may resopnse na kagad.Never encounter hard accelaration anymore. Feel like I'm driving a compact SUV. Also you will hear the growl sound of the engine when pressing the accelarator. I've ordered the intake in U.S and have it installed at Autoplus. The cost including installation was around $450. But you got an authentic KNN intake and best is bolt on.

Knn air intake bolt on with heat shield.

At Autoplus

Dynotest result. This are on the wheel. Maybe you will surprise why it's not 290HP? 290HP is just the engine without load. The most important is the gain is quite significant for the intake.

Ganda naman pala result eh. Thanks bro, i will wait for such to be locally available as i don;t want to bother friends in the US.
Sana soon KnN for our explo will be available here. I wonder it you just ordered it by internet ? I suppose nothing special during the
installetion dahil sure fit & designed na yan for our explo.

Thanks!

I like the color of the mags. Where did you have them painted? Am thinking gun metal....

AFAIK kay Hotwheels autobody. Friend ko rin yung owner, sobrang pulido sila gumawa. Highly recommended.

[spynz]

macsd - I doubt if it will be available locally. Explorer is not an ordinary SUV like others. You can have it customize by Speedlab but wala nga lang heat shield and hindi bolt on. I'm enjoying more my Explorer with this upgrade.

macsd - Actually DIY lang siya but i don't want to sacrifice in spending more for repair rather to spend 900 pesos for the installation. I bought it in internet.

EQAddict - Hotwheels did the job. Gun metal is a good option as well. My concept kasi is all matte black below the plastic cladding. By the way ano color ng Explo mo?

[spynz]

I like the torque figures! Especially on the lower end of the rpm range. Nice. How did you have it shipped here? Which provider did you use?

They shipped via UPS. Check also on ebay, they also ship to Phil.

[spynz]

White rin explorer ko hehe

Same pala tayo. I also upgrade the tires from Hankook to TOYO STII.Wider in size from stock.

[dragonexplorer]

Awesome looking EX, spynz!

Ako din gusto ko na sana mag-upgrade ng Air Intake kaya lang natakot akong ma-void yung warranty.

By the way, ok yung paint ng wheels mo by hotwheels. Hindi na mukhang Megatron Wheels hehe!

I also want to paint my wheels but using PLASTIDIP in Gun Metal color. You can peel it off when you don't like it anymore. Not sure nga lang if PLASTIDIP is available locally.

*EQADDICT: I've been buying accessories online from US vendors like amazon. You can sign up with myshoppingbox.com for $25, good for 1 year membership. Ship your items to them with the account number provided for you then they can ship via air or sea for your items. Check it out =)

Hi spynz, pls share naman if you don't mind kung merong improvement in your Fuel Consumption with the air intake installed.

So far, my best FC is 7.58 kms/liter using Caltex Gold and Silver travelling point-to-point highway and with minor city driving lang.

This car looks awesome. I have Toyota . But this is old model. I will buy ford falcon in next year .

*Dragonexplorer - I will test the unit this week as will be going to Pico de Loro Batangas by then i can establish a good figures. As of the moment wild guess is around 15-20 percent increase in mileage per liter. Hataw mode pa yan. Enjoy kasi ihataw because you will hear the growl sound of the engine. Before i gas up at shell with nitro+ but shifted to XCS.

Has anyone tempting to buy a stepboard on our EX from US? Meron bang group buy? Hehehe...

I'm planning to order DEE ZEE NXC Black Boards during boxing day sale or the sale right after Christmas in the US. I was aiming for EGR Integrated steps kaya lang nanghihinayang ako sa front mud guards na nabili at nakabit ko na.

Thanks in advance for sharing! Tempting mag order ng K&N tuloy! hehe! Antay ko na lang matapos warranty period. Til then, cosmestic mods lang muna ako.

My friend purchased his stepboard from AutoAnything | Auto Accessories & Aftermarket Parts | Truck Accessories & Car Accessories - Floor Mats, Tonneau Covers & Car Covers but has not arrived yet. I think it was around P6K-P8K. Naka-balikbayan box so medyo natagalan.

*dragonexplorer how's the TSB going on the burnt smell on your ex?
Solve na ba?...
