CDR

How do you hook up the CRD to an engine with a turbo?.....I don't know if you still use the hole in the back of the intake or not I would think that would cut down on my PSI.....I know Dave S has a pic where it's on the valve cover but I don't know how to hook it up....the way it was hooked up when I got it just didn't look right that's why I'm asking.

I'll upload some pics soon to show you all what I'm talking about and see if you can help me

Alright got some pictures





Here's how the CRD as hooked up it's turned backwards to the hole in the back of the intake was wide open letting out all the PSI that's why I plugged it.



And here's how it all fits together......I have no clue where the tube runs too it was already off the truck when I got it.

The CDR is relocated on turbo motors, where depends on the kit.

I believe (I don't have one) ATS does it between the rocker cover and the air intake before the turbo.

I believe (I don't have one) Banks does it between the IP Gear cover and the air intake before the turbo.

Someone will squash me (deservedly) if I'm wrong. (but I won't forget then)

[edit]
THIEF! Those are my colors!
Purdy color!

Never seen one installed like that. But I haven't seen everything.

Hmm...so I guess sense it's a homemade turbo kit I'm going to have to make my own way to hook up the CDR.....crap, now I'm going to have to get my brain working again and think of something


Well I'd like to keep it going in the valley pan so I don't have to cut holes in my FRESHLY pained valve covers.....so I guess I'll just keep it where it is and run a tube from it to the air intake before the turbo (have to make an air intake too)
I'm thinking a nice chrome braided metal tube with a chrome intake might look nice with the green and black.

Thanks for your help, and if anyone has any other ideas of how I could mount/move the CDR please let me know.

As long as the CDR is able to drain back to the valley pan, you can move it to the "custom intake" you are building and run a similar drain tube to the valley pan. So mounting it to the intake you build with a drain tube and whatever else you need might just work. I would get some ideas on paper or metal for the intake and go from there.

Never seen a CDR done like that. As long as you run the tube to the intake(pre-turbo/post filter), I dont see why it wouldn't work as it should.

I'm not for sure where it goes, haven't had enough time with the truck to look at it all, I do know the tube that hooks to the turbo runs under the engine if that tells you anything.

There are two oil hookups on a turbo ... Supply and Return.

Thats likely the supply.
