Drop in EGT and backpressure. I grind the rivets down, remove the butterfly and shaft, then put a core plug in the one shaft hole. I then bore the exhaust adaptor to 3.00", stock its 2.830" or so.
It would be interesting to manually control one and see the effects it has on time to get to the temp it normally fully opens at, on a idling engine, at outside temps of 32 F and 0 F. It would be interesting to see how much of an effect it has. It sure no question it kills the power of an already sluggish engine when cold. Not to mention they do seem to stick at times and even when fully open impair exhaust flow.
no EBPV or fuel bowl in my truck for 2 years now..where i live it get damn cold quite often but the ole girl starts every morning with out a problem..i let her idle for 5 to 10 minutes in the am...15 minutes when its 20 bellow..then driver easy to the out side of town,,by then she is good to go..
ok, well i dont have any experience in real cold weather. that is just what i was told before i did mine. i think the benifits of gutting outway the longer warmups! no harnesses to disconnect or anything. just gut as described above and make sure you plug the hole good!
needing a little help here. working on pulling the valve, got the (5) 5/16 bolts off, removed the down pipe. it's still conected to something on the bottom???
like a bracket or???
i would delete the ebpv accuator remove it like i stated in a couple posts up drill and tap the hole the rod was in and put a pipe plug in it remove the metal shavings put the aluminum plug back in with snap ring. or build a plate and weld the big hole closed your choice or buy a non ebpv pedistal put new orings under pedistal install pedistal put new orings in for turbo install turbo and walla ebpv delete done
WHAT DO I DO ABOUT THE ROD??? DO I JUST LEAVE IT HANGING DOWN???
