No pictures here.

 

Give up on the pics guys. Its an older post and you can't expect the OP to host pics forever.

 

I also installed the ccv-6000. Now, several thousand miles later the intake is still dry. I cleaned the blue boot that is connected to the turbo before the install and it is still dry. What a great mod. I will change my oil in 2 days and drain the filter, I am curious to see how much crud drains out.

 

Gotta give myself a dope slap too.

The pictures which are missing from the first post are all available in post #44 on page 3 of this thread.

 

Fellas,
I plan on doing the CCV mod to my truck soon. However, the truck budget is a little low right now. I will be changing out my air filter and installing a fuel pressure guage this weekend. While doing that I figure it would be a good time to go ahead and at least install the plumbing for the CCV filter. I will be installing the CCV6000 filter and routing the line back to the intake (close loop) like what Bismic has shown here.

Do yall foresee any problems if I just make one big loop without the filter and then just cut the pipe and install the filter later? Unfortunitly, $$ and free time are hard to come by and only have the free time right now. Assume there would be no problems doing this, just wanted to double check.

Thanks for any input.

 

It would be better to wait IMO. If you get much oil carryover, it can create a liquid plug in the hose and the back pressure can climb fairly quickly. Apprx 1/4 of a pint of oil in a 1" hose can create the maximum allowable backpressure.

 

I'm wanting to do the CCV mod and I'm seriously thinking about using the Racor CCV4500. I understand how to do the CCV mod but am unsure of how the CCV4500 is plumbed. Once you run the CCV line into it, is there an outlet line that goes back to the crank case or somewhere else? Thanks.

 

The outlet can go back to the turbo inlet - it is essentially oil-free. Plumbed to the turbo inlet, you get a nice vacuum pulled on each acceleration. I suppose you could plumb it into the exhaust line or leave it open at the rear of the vehicle, but I greatly prefer beig plumbe back to the turbo inlet. If you do plumb it somewhere else, make sure the opening in the turbo inlet duct is properly plugged.

 

Mark, does your CCV6000 have a nut on the bottom that stops the oil from escaping? I thought mine did but the threaded brass thing on the bottom is hollow and all the crud is leaking out. Just curious....lol.

 

Can someone post a pic of how their hose runs around/under the master cylinder? My 1" heater hose is flattening out where it makes that turn. I'm thinking of switching to 1" wire-in fuel hose to keep it from collapsing there.

 

I have pics in one of my albums. If you can't locate it, I can post the link later.

 

I found the under the truck pics but not one of the engine area.

 

Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums - MoyockPowerstroke's Album: CCV Filter

Here is the link to my setup...installed in Aug 2009, just ordered my replacement CCV6000 Racor filter for $40 bucks off ebay and will replace this weekend. More updated pics to add to this album showing One year of filter use. The CCV6000 comes with a brass drain fitting on the bottom of the filter bucket...mine did not have a cap so I picked one up at The Home Depot.

 

Sorry I did not answer, I did not see this Jonathan. I retrofitted my filter base w/ a drain **** valve - like for an air compressor.
