Just out of curiosity when doing this mod i have seen guys puting a new pipe between the rubber pipe that connects the air cleaner and the turbo....Just putting this out there it might be dumb, but could i build a new pipe out of black ABS from the turbo to the air filter , coneting them with IC boots or something like that????? any imput will be appreciated

 

Sure, you can do that. Just be aware of pipe inside diameters and be careful to not use a pipe that is more restrictive due to being a smaller inside diameter. Also, I would install a grounding wire from the plastic pipe to the frame to eliminate the potential for static electricity buildup due to the air velocities.

 

Kewl I just wanted anothe opinion before i gave it a go...thx for the reply

 

Superduty krazy- save yourself a lot of trouble and just go pick up a 3" ABS coupler- it's 4" OD (the diameter you need) and is basically a direct drop-in replacement for the CCV housing. If you try to build one out of ABS or PVC, you will end up with a smaller diameter (more restrictive) intake tube than if you just use the coupler.

 

That is what he is trying not to do. He wants to ditch the cobbled together unit that most guys have where you use a pipe for the ccv and a pipe for the filter. IIUC, he is looking to run a piece from the filter to the turbo...nothing in between. Look on eBay, there are a few setups that go part of the way, but not all the way to the turbo IIRC.

 

I get that, but if he's planning on using ABS or PVC, he's going to end up with an intake pipe thats 3" ID instead of 4" ID like the OEM setup (at least to the CCV coupler, it reduces at the turbo IIRC). Unless you find an exhaust shop that will custom bend you a piece of 4" tubing for the intake (good luck with that) you're not going to be able to get a 4" tube for the intake.
You are right thought most aftermarket set-ups only run a piece of pipe to the rubber hose connected to the turbo- I've never seen a setup with a single piece of pipe clear to the turbo. This is probably because the intake on the turbo is smaller (3" IIRC) than the filter end- you'd end up with a 2-piece setup anyways.

 

And they probably can't legally get rid of the ccv...

 

I haven't done anything yet but when i do I will take pics and find out how to put them on here

 

i have been reading alot on this mod and have a few ??
1)what can i clean the "filter" with? is brake klean ok?
2)i see that most if not all have ran the line out to the back of the truck. why not just right down the firewall and terminate it there like the big rigs? i think that the concern about a low spot for the oil to acc. in and cause a blockage would be eliminated. just a thought thanks

 

Brake cleaner followed by compressed air, when available, is fine. Submerging and soaking in solvent better, but let it dry out before re-installation.

Many do just run it down the firewall. I run it back further because of the smell.
your choice.

 

I bought 12 feet of hose, mine dumps out right where the cab and bed meet.

 

My X dumps right behind the firewall. Havent noticed any fumes or anything annoying yet.

As far as the original connection to the intake, i just plugged the hole.

 

I've got everything i think i gonna need it just been too cold here to do it yet.....my snowmobile has been apart in the garage, just finished puting the motor in last night ...so maybe over the weekend i will be able to get the truck in to work on it

 

OT- what kind of sled do you have? I ride an 03 RMK 800 Vertical Escape 159".
