Air Intake and Filter - Coyote

[Slider]

Working on a few things today and running into a few issues. Hopefully I can get some advice here.

#1. In following the instructions from FF on installing the Air Intake and Filter, and not quite sure how the parts they supplied will allow me to fit the unit in. So... I am wondering if I can put the Spectre piece with the MAS right next to the intake, then the elbow and then the filter (reveresed from FF recommendations), or if I can cut the elbow, or if perhaps I'm just best to buy a smaller elbow. Or perhaps someone has come up with a better way all together.

Pictures are sure appreciated.

I'ld be interested in pics as well. I know that I am going to most likely do something a little different, though. I aslo know that will require a re-tune, too.

Anybody done something a lot different then what the "standard" is....if you can call something like a MK4 with a coyote standard

Here's what I did. First, I got this nipple from JLT Performance. If connects to the stock driver side breather hose. Call them up and ask for it. It's $20.

Then, I used the 110* elbow and cut it to size.

The MAF sensor needs to between 8 and 24 inches from the throttle according to Ford.

Clemson... The nipple you show in the first picture on the intake... That's not something that Factory Five shows as required in their Coyote instructions. Is this an added benefit, or something that they missed?

[ClemsonS197]

It's not something they require. It is a cleaner install using the Ford breather hose. Just something they missed, IMHO.

My set up is similar to that posted by Clemson however I simply cut the stock nipple out of stock intake box provided with the Coyote - trimmed and mounted in the stock location on the new 90 degree elbow. I used all of the part numbers recommended by FFR but FFR chose to deviate from the stock setup. My set up ant that posted by Clemson is much closer to stock (than the FFR set up)

I believe getting the initial set up close to stock is important for proper engine operation (before making additional mods)

IMHO

I did the same as you Jester, except I have had the nipple pop off already. My brother has a lathe, so we are in the process of making a threaded fitting that will secure from the inside of the intake. Pics to come once we are complete.

Clemson, what is the name of the "nipple" from JLT? I can't find it on their website. Thanks

You'll need to call and order it. It's not on the website. Tell them you need the drivers side breather connector they used on their intakes for 2011+ GT's. If they can't find it, have them look up the order for Kevin Finlay.

Thanks Kevin.

which filter is that? i'm not sure which one to get that would fit the best... looks like i need one shorter than 6" - but large diameter should be OK. (?)

Clemson, nice job. If one wanted to, looks like you could go straight through the F-panel to get cool air from the wheel well. Rain would be an issue though. :D

Did you have to tune it to get it running right?

I met Richard Oben in Monterey this year and he described how they did a Coyote/MKIV by snaking the intake tube down between the radiator and f-panel and putting the filter down near the brake cooling inlet in the nose of the car. Gets cool air from in front of the radiator. Haven't thought much about it as I have a ways to go before I am at the point of worrying about the intake but it was an interesting discussion and have it in the back of my mind as something to consider when I get there.
