So you have no valley cover breather? Do you have the lines from the valve covers to the intake tube? [emoji15]

Hello everyone!   After 3 years of having it in mind, I finally decided to Delete the Mechanical Brake Vacuum Pump on my L83. And I made a How to video, for those interested for a DIY or How

This may work. Still thinking about it. I still want someone to make a kit to bolt in the lt1 electric pump. Then large cam, and boosted trucks are good. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

The intake manifold vacuum is plenty enough to run the booster with no problems, I don't see the point on spending more money on an electric vacuum pump tbh.   If you are still thinking abou

The valve cover breathers send the vapors to the exhaust.

 

The Evacuation System uses the vacuum created in the exhaust tubes to suck the PCV vapors out of the crankcase, this is how it installs:

To do this getting rid of the vacuum pump do you also have to get rid of the oil catch can I have installed?
No you need a breather to the engine. And if in any way it goes to the intake then you want to clean it. The op has valve covers to the exhaust so there is no line to the intake at all so no can is needed. I am not so sure about blocking of the valley cover port. But to each his own. It is possible the exhaust is pulling enough the valley isn't a issue.

You would have to if it's a catch can routed into the little PCV line.

 

...Catch cans in the PCV line returning to the intake manifold DO NOT WORK. That is a subject all on its own. In a nutshell, Catch cans only catch oil when they're cold, because it acts like a distillery: Hot vapors condense inside it. Once they get to temperature, they let all vapors pass through. This is all meaningless anyway because the valve cover breathers are blowing the great majority of PCV vapors into the intake air box anyway.

 

I used to have a Catch Can, but it was atmospheric: I had deleted the PCV Line and routed the valve cover breathers out of the catch can. I got tired of the mess and installed the Crankcase Evacuation kit.

Most of the crankcase vapors flow out of the valve covers anyway, the valley cover breather only flows when there is vacuum on the manifold. apply enough throttle or Boost in the manifold and that line becomes useless, so why not go ahead and delete it whole?

 

Im pretty sure more than 90% of the crankcase vapors go out of the valve cover breathers anyway, and with a boosted engine the check valve inside the valley cover breather could break and go into the crankcase.

 

At least that is the logic behind my train of thought, applied to my specific engine, it could not apply on other engines/set ups

You are very correct. Us boosted vehicles have every line on valve covers and even the css going to breather tanks then my valley cover to can and to intake but the check valve closes under boost and the turbo pulls air on the 2nd port of can.

i like to watch your posting for a year and see what issues crop up..

 

good point on the high temp vapor by-passing the catch can.. seems they need to go back and design in a condenser before the vapor can drop out into liquid from a gas.

 

I have installed an exhaust crank vent system (ecv) lol....on a truck once. pretty easy to install except for the welding of the bungs into the exhaust..

 

i wonder what grumpybear thinks of this ?hehe

You could remove the belt without cutting it and buy a new OEM Pump-Booster Hard Line, then reassemble the truck before trading it or so. PPKs idea is also a good one:

 

 

I have that PCV hose blow to the exhaust with a Crankcase Evacuation System

 

It uses a Venturi effect on the exhaust flow to vacuums the Vapors out of the engine:

      PF63 Oil Filters Going Away?

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.
