Did a CCV filter bypass "Home made" system today.

Basically I went to the Hardware store and got a 3/4" Pipe Plug and washer. Placed it into the opening in the Intake and clamped it down. Now, no more oil in the Turbine Inlet.

As far as the Outlet on the CCV filter side, I simply ran 3/4" hose down to the frame and into a hole that was already pre-existing. Overall, $3.48 spent, and no more oil into my brand new turbo. I will be posting pics tomorrow.

As far as removing the stock hardware and hoses, VERY VERY simple!!! Even if you still have the EGR system in place, this mod is code free.

ANOTHER OBSERVATION, my hoses were completely filled with oil, which means your VGT or aftermarket turbo is being FILLED with OIL!! I cannot believe how much oil was in there.

 

we did the same thing only when we deleted. Like you say there was too much oil being forced through the compressor then through the intercooler.

 

Here are the pics from my install.

Enjoy, PM with questions.

 

Nice work! I think I may head to the store tomorrow to do the same. I've been wanting to do it for quite some time anyhow.

I do have a question though: are you planning on running a filter on the end of the hose or is it not needed?

Also is the oil the cause of the turbo squeaking when shutting the motor off?

Oh! I forgot, welcome home! I know I'm a bit late on that, at least I can't remember if I did...

Thanks for the info. Need to do this one. So now your CCV oil is being vented into the frame?

 

Sorry it took me so long to reply!

No filter on the end of the hose. (as long as you do not care about oil drip, no filter required)

I never heard a squeak when shutting down. But, there was an ubsurd amount of oil in the stock tube.

SOHap... Yes, the oil is now "Lubricating my Chassis" HaHa

 

This guy has a different approach to this. I know it's CF, but info is info.

I just disconnected my CCV from my turbo right after I purchase my truck. Installed a plug on the line going to the turbo. The other line is open and dumps onto the block.

You can buy those little breather filters and install them instead of running a hose, seen a few trucks done that way. My old 02 truck doesn't have a hose or filter, I broke those parts off a long time ago. The CR engine have a breather line on the driver side, just beside the injection pump. You could also disconnect that line as well.

 

Glacier diesel open breather kit $39.95

 

Autozone can hook you up for bout $10 bucks for all that stuff. The filter is in the ricer anodized area and the plug is in the vacuum section. The hose is in back.

 

Doing this mod without a filter, doesn't it leave a potential for contaminates to get sucked in and contaminate the oil/top end? Having never checked to see if it pulls even the slightest bit of vacuum, I've just assumed that was one of the reasons it was put after the filter? Additionally, why not use a filter, raised slightly above the port & keep the oil in the engine where it belongs vice letting it drain down the frame, engine, or filter (thus clogging the filter)? Just my thoughts!

I got The GDP kit....i know its $40 but it does just that....keeps a filter on the end of the breather and the short 90 degree hose brings the filter just above the valve cover and allows any oil no matter how small to drain back down. I liked it.

 

I found this thread: http://www.cumminsforum.com/forum/6-...ather-kit.html

Some are saying you need some vacuum to keep from throwing a code. So a few guys are running hose to the bottom of the air box to create some draw.

I then found a pic of a guy using an oil catch which looks like its plumbed into the turbo to create suction and has the catch can in line. Would this be any better of a set up vs the open element only kits; or a straight dump line? Or how about the catch can with a filter element built in (pic 2)?

Here's the guys set up (pic 3):

 

I just stuck a K&N Breather filter on mine. Works fine, but from time to time I get a slight oil smell when the A/C is not on recirc. I need to get around to getting some 3/4 heater hose and venting it to the frame like done above.

 

Trust me fellas, although the CF description is detailed, I think this is the best option. GET THE FILTER OFF, and route a tube somewhere else. No Diesel smell in the cab.
