CCV in factory form really needed?

[Nic]

Posting alot here lately because shes getting built and Im fresh to the 6.4s.

Question. Ive seen fancy CCV setups in the bay and by the frame rail but is it really necessary? Why is the vent so different on the 6.4 than the 6.0? I ran mine to atmosphere on my 6.0 myself but Ive seen a few higher HP 6.4s post up about excessive oil being pushed through the CCV line during hard runs. :shrug: If I can successfully run it to atmo, that's what I will do. I plan on the no limit intake and It doesnt look like there would even be room for one of the fancy CCV's and I think they recommend running it to atmo?

i run mine to atmo and there is no issue. gapless rings would reduce the worry even more. The no limit intake has no provision to let the ccv go into the intake but a billet oil fill setup with ccv should fit fine with it as they are smaller than factory units. have a look at my thread...

Run it to atmosphere, you'll be fine.

Mine is to atmosphere also. Never drips. You can see it venting when the truck is warmed up, but has not put a drop on the ground or the under carriage of the truck.

Did some work for a friend of mine that wanted the no limit cai but didn't want any smell or visible crankcase vapors so I came up with this. http://powerstrokearmy.com/forums/showthread.php?t=29756

Venting to atmosphere is easier though

Good deal thanks fellas. Goin to atmo!. Sootie youre a good help sir. everyone else too thank you. Anyone happen to know what numbers the truck might lay down? It will have the 59/71 and gearhead/innovative tuning.

650-680 at see level

 

[Nic]

Dang. More than I thought. But it will never see that. That's asking alot of the stock tranny.

 

[sootie]

ya-the trans wont last unless you baby it. My TC actually struggled before the clutches gave out.

 

[Nic]

Well hopefully we will see some nice egt drop with the turbos and intake setup. She ought to tow like a dream.

 

[sootie]

you will, mine is hard to break 1400 on a race tune.

 

[Nic]

Nice! Man my 6.0 can hit just over 1000 briskly getting up to speed on a hot summer day.

i have a kit i sell for $75 shipped. its prolly $20 more than you would spend to build your own, but saves you the guess work of finding the right splice and 1" bypass.

Ill remember that when I go to do it. Thanks bud.
