I have read many threads about gutting the EBPV and the CCV mods and have several questions:

EBPV:I want to keep my original EBPV in tact. I have searched high and low for a manufacturer of a EBPV replacement with no success. Does anyone know where I can find an extra EBPV, either already gutted or stock OR a company that makes a replacement for the EBPV for the '96 PSD?

CCV:This mod reduces oil at the turbo boots and in the intercooler, right? I do not have an intercooler so is this mod worhwhile for me? Is there any problem just using a long rubber tube for oil waste as many here have done and removing the oil port from the turbo intake tube? What do I use to plug the hole from the oil port removal and will this help improve flow into my turbo inlet?

Thanks.

 

This mod does eliminate the oil in the intake system. If you have a problem with oil coming out of your boots, do it. Most people do run a hose to the back of the truck somewhere. Some have put it into the exhaust. Get a piece of 4" muffler tubing to replace the part with. There are some nice kits on ebay for this purpose, they have colored powdercoated pieces to replace with. Nice! It probably would help the flow some.

 

JMB,

I just installed a EBPV that I bought from ITP Performance.
Dennis at ITP has access and sells EBPV's that are not even drilled out. These are the factory Garret EBPV's without the holes for the rod and valve. A casting with no holes.

Yes, the CCV mod eliminates an air restriction and also the oil build up in the intercooler tubes and air to air cooler.

BTW JMB, went to the printer today and the decals look good. They have a slight misprint so I want that corrected before I show them to you and members. Should have an answer on Monday.

 

Racore has a new setup specifically for the SD with a powerstroke.
CCV-3550 Crankcase Vent Filter

 

is it at motor haven thats where the link brings me coulnt find it .
what web site

 

what good does CCV mod do fo rme if i don't have an intercooler? more HP, torque? not familier with it yet....and would running the excess oil into the exhaust make smoke or what?

 

Not nearly as much good as us intercooled rigs enjoy. IMO, no intercooler, don't bother with the CCV. It just goes straight into the engine where it is burned.

 

Hmm, looks like the board has been fixed so that links to companies that don't sponsor the board don't point to them anymore...
The Racor setup can be found here: www.dieselinnovations.com
You'll probably have to copy and paste.

 

That is where my link went to. Now i remember why i dont visit this site very often. The rules are very slanted against the outside. Oh well back to my regular sites.

 

I changed my glowplugs and noticed a fair amount of oil in turbo tubes. Is there anyway to drain the oil out of the intercooler. I'm sure theres quite a bit in there. Thanks Lance

 

The only way I know to get whats in there now out is take it off and pour it out. You can do the CCV Mod and prevent future oil collecting in it.
