sorry yall, ive tried searchin the forum and online

heres the question


will an intake for the 5.4 V8 fit on an F-250 if its advertised for an F-150

i dont see what the difference would be

 

I don't think so becuase there is a diffrence in the intake setup between my 2004 F-150 and my dad's 2004 F-250.

 

Hello!

Wellsir, since you have be unwilling or unable to provide a pix of yer engine bay, and I haven't got a 2006 F250 gasser truck handy in my lab I can peer into at the moment, ol' MGD had to go and get one from the online manual site, at great inconvenience I might add



Technically - it looks feasible - but I'll bet some fabbing will almost certainly need to be done... I think the bay is a tad wider just fer starters. The ETC TB should be the same (you will be removing the stock airbox for a full CAI anyway). Possibly a small PVC/rubber/DWV extension will be needed at the left fender - you'll need a new hole there as well...

Good luck sir.

thanks for the diagram man.

but i thought you seen my post, takin a pic of a truck thats in florida, is hard from afghanitan brother. if i never posted that im sorry, i do appreciate the diagram and the advice

 

soooo, a banks for a s&b box for a 2006 F-150 with a 5.4 V8 will or will not work on my truck.


hell, if yall keep helpin me out, ill know this **** some day. and i wont be the dumb guy on here

thats definitly my intake in your diagram. goin out the front, not the side, like vie been sayin.

hence the gotts and dwv mod wont work

 

Hello!

No worries - I was just funnin' with ya sir ! No one around here takes me seriuosly - nor should they

Will it fit? As I said - technically yes - it is a 5.4. It's the engine bay dimensions that will be the determinator, plus any unforseen stuff in the way not apparent in the diagram, as well as any required attachment hard-point location differences.

Will it fit without some extra work? Unlikley.

Will it be worth it? Also unlikely. The stocker flows just fine for the mods you have. A custom programmer (remember - Road Trip to VMP when ya get back, lol) will help far more than any intake mod.

Good luck sir - and stay safe!

Cheers

yes, but remember, when i get home, its gettin headers and dual exhaust, which will require an intake. correct? maybe not require, but if im goin to open up my trucks butt, i should open its mouth too, atleast thats my understanding

 

what was that info for VMP again, i dont remember which post it was in?

 

Hello!

VMP ===> in this thread ... https://www.f150online.com/forums/f-...ext-month.html

As for the intake requirement - nah ... yer exhaust mods don't require intake mods - there is so little to be gained - remember you are going to have to 'cobble' this together some - that the couple/few HP is simply not going to be noticed in such a heavy beast - except for some noise. It's still largely a stock truck. No boost, no internals.

I'd pass for now - concentrate on the other stuff. Then worry about it, if at all.

Y'know what else? Before buying anything - either talk to Justin in person (my preference since you are so close - you get to meet him and see his shop) , email or call him and ask him not only about yer intake issues, but also all the other mods you are planning. He does this for a living, aight? Sure will not hurt and may save you some grief, money, time.

You dont need to do an intake with headers and all, your stock intake looks to be full 3", which is what these gaser engines like. I would put a hi-flow filter in and call it a day.

Pull your intake out and search for any restrictive points and fix them if anything.

 

i already got a K&N filter in my box.

so many people on the form have differnt opinions. some say if you are goin to do headers you HAVE to do exhaust. some say you dont. i think from lookin at my intake back when i put that 50 dollar amazing little tornado in it, that it is a 3 inch intake.

so ill stick with that, and save my money. its already been tuned, but ill get those custom tunes and call it a day

 

Yep - any far fewer actually have the facts. Darren is one of those few.

It's up to you.

 

Well it does make sense to change to a 3" system or at least true duals with headers for sound and performance benefits.When it comes to the intake, nothing else really can beat the stock box and tube if its a full size, it directs true cold air. I say your running fine as is intake wise, move onto the exhaust

 

^ agreed

 

i know from snoopin around on here as long as i have that avfog and darren seem to know whats goin on, and i aint about to spend 300 bucks or more on somethin that aint better than what i got.

funny part is, i didnt want a K&N FIPK, id like a banks or s&B but for what. ill check it when i get home to see if there is anything that restricts the airflow like that little nozzle on the earlier SD's

thanks yall
