Something I forgot to mention in the video, but the relay needs to be mounted to something metal (like the original location) because it grounds via the case.

Could it be a 289? I'm a Chevy guy so I'm not sure either
@Thunderbird19688 күн бұрын
Yeah i think it could be. They are both based off the same block so they probably look very similar
@631pablo12 күн бұрын
If it’s an Olds big block, probably. 455 rocket. Olds rocket series have a wider “V” in the cylinder configuration. That’s why the intake is so wide and the valve covers lower and farther apart.

I have an 08 CVPI and a 1996 Lincoln Town Car and I've always wondered why is my Crown Vic PI so much louder than my town car. They both have dual exhaust and now I see why. I might do this to my Town Car. The year difference might have something to do with it idk.
@Thunderbird1968Ай бұрын
Hey thanks for the comment! Yeah that definitely could be why your two cars sound different. The cop car had a bigger intake too but you’ll probably notice a big difference taking your air silencer off.

Why are you deleting it, I can't get boost, power in my 7.3 and all my codes point to this dam valve or solenoid. I don't know if it's open or closed. I don't know if it being closed ruins my boost, or it being stuck open?
@Thunderbird1968Ай бұрын
I deleted the valve itself because I wanted to increase potential power, and then to eliminate some seals that were leaking on the pedestal. I think it being closed would ruin your boost because you are largely restricting your Exhaust with it closed so the whole system will be restricted…
@Thunderbird1968Ай бұрын
What year is your truck? My truck is a 2000 and I just disconnected the wiring for the EBPV and there are no codes, at least none that show up on the dash and everything runs tickity boo as they say
@MikeConner.akaRadioАй бұрын
@Thunderbird1968 mine is a late 1999, I Juat Rebuilt all the injectors, ended up having to replace 2 of them because the ones I had were trashed. I have ohmed and cont checked my entire engine harness all the way to the IDM and PCU, I have tested and replaced every single sensor on the engine, all motorcraft parts. The truck just doesn't have any power, I turbo whistle sounds muffled, or choked, only time I can get and see boost on my gauge is turn my chip all the way up and floor it, the boost goes up maybe 7 pounds and the truck rolls coal super heavy bad but them starts cutting out, like it's got all fuel and no air. I have forsan and I keep getting the P0476 code.
@Thunderbird1968Ай бұрын
@@MikeConner.akaRadio honestly man sounds like you know more about the 7.3 than I do haha, but what I do know is that the EBPV valve closes to warm up the engine faster which could be producing that black smoke if it’s shut closed. You could try unplugging the harness at the base of the turbo pedestal and see if that changes anything, also I’m trying to think if it’s possible to open the valve without taking off the turbo…maybe with some pliers?
@Thunderbird1968Ай бұрын
@@MikeConner.akaRadio also what you said about the turbo sounding muffled is exactly how I would describe the sound of the EBPV valve being closed…

I have two stock Ford obs 7.3 diesel trucks, what benefits would eliminating ebpv have?
@Thunderbird19682 ай бұрын
Typically it’s thought to increase power and fuel economy by lowering the amount of restriction in the exhaust pipe. I’ve heard the the butterfly valve restricts 20% of exhaust flow even with the valve open.
@Thunderbird19682 ай бұрын
Also the truck will have a deeper exhaust tone from my experience
@greatodinsravenАй бұрын
Also, they can get stuck closed like mine is now and severely decrease your fuel economy and power. Better to not have it. I live where winters get down to -30F in the winter, so mine would kick on every time I would start my truck.
@Thunderbird1968Ай бұрын

One less leak, plus it really only works under certain conditions and if you pull the flapper you get 20% more unrestricted airflow out your exhaust which equals horseypower
