    I created an insulated custom box out of hard plastic, pop rivets and fasteners that sucks air from stock location, from behind the head light and a custom forced air duct that leads down to the hole below the fog light.  The intake temps stay around ambient and around 20+ degrees in traffic.

    When does the group buy start?

    ?

  2. I should clear up my statement. The nose pads adhesive melted and the pads slid off. I was able to get new one for free from Maui Jim and SuperGlue them on.

    Yes the shade was closed by the sunglasses get so hot I can't put them on when I get out of work. If you look in there it is bare metal. No insulation.

    I am currently looking for something I can tuck in there to help during the summer months. It's 105 today here in Sacramento.

    The stock air filter is designed to accommodate max flow (wide open throttle at high rpm) without a pressure drop that could impact performance - very few folks would operate near max flow, so unless you're racing and want to squeeze out every minute bit of performance, there'd be nothing gained paying a premium for those filters.

    So why wouldn't you just make that comment rather than asking me what I thought was wrong with the OE filter?

    I finally got all the parts and went back to stock Air Cleaner system. I feel better now ? We'll see how/if it changes/improves MPG?

    Thanks for everyone's input and help! You guys Rock!

     

    How's she running? Better? Did you put a good filter in like a K&N or AEM DryFlow?

  5. So I have used the SCT X4 in the past and have a tuner I trust but SCT does not support the EDGE. I still pushing but if I can't get them to provide the tuner files to my custom tuner then I will have to go with the LMS.

  6. I've got a question regarding the LMS tuner.

    Does anyone know if their tunes/tuner changes the stock Ford strategy?

    What I mean is, if you revert to stock, is the strategy the same as what you gave to them?

    Anyone know?

    So in my endeavor to go back to stock, I need to find out what other parts or hoses, tubes, etc. that I need to replace? You mentioned the "clean side PVC" and MAF housing, both which I have no idea what they are? Can you see in the pic, or is there a place where I can find a "parts list" and exploded view of the  whole system to not miss something? 

     

    Thanks for all your knowledge and help!

    I am not totally familiar with the 3.5L NA engine in the Edge but I do know that you will need the entire air intake (including filter) and the hose you see in your pic.

    It is kinked and looks like one of the connectors was removed to attach it to the K&N.

    As far as the MAF (Mass Air Flow Sensor) I was referring to the K&N intake's MAF housing was capped off providing evidence that it was not meant for your engine.

    These pics are from the links provided earlier. Maybe talk to your dealerships parts department to confirm the part numbers and start shopping for deals.2126869786_ScreenShot2019-07-30at7_04_48PM.thumb.png.c63c8c0ab0fca58445c1686691690001.png1130823260_ScreenShot2019-07-30at7_05_02PM.thumb.png.2afef74fb7481109f9784ee693987aa4.png

  8. The hose that is kinked looks like the clean side PCV.

    The MAF housing is capped off too which is strange.

    Also, K&N does not list a "cold air" intake on their site for this application. I'm thinking this intake if for something else and does not belong on this vehicle.

    I would remove it and put a stock air box back on (maybe with a good performance type filter) and you should see improved mileage right away.

    Just my .02 cents.
