Nice one Josh!

Ok so heres my attempt at writing...... well a write up

This is the install of the provent 200 pcv seperator on my 2007 D4D SR5 Lux.

Time taken: about 90 minutes

Tools required: phillips and flat screwdrivers, socket set, hacksaw, stanley knife and 1 bandaid due to stanley knife

Step 1:

Remove engine cover and intercooler. Theres plenty of posts and topics on here to get this far.
Remove air intake from top of air box down to turbo by undoing hose clamps.
Remove pcv pipe that runs from the top of the crankcase down to the turbo, theres a screw into the block underneath the pipe that you will need to remove first.
Yours should now look like this:




Step 2:

Cut the pcv pipe at the bottom end (the end that was on the turbo) with a hacksaw leaving about an inch of pipe sticking out of the rubber boot that sat on the turbo flange itself.



Step 3:

Using the 1 inch hose cut two pieces off using the stanley knife so that once its pressed onto the filter unit theres still enough room to fit the reducers into the hose pieces as well. Mine were about 4 inches long. Fit onto the unit and secure with the supplied hose clamps.



Step 4:

Using the smaller 5/8" hose fit and secure with clamps onto the piece on pipe you have cut earlier and push down onto the turbo again.



Step 5:
Run hose to where you are going to put the filter and leaving a bit of extra room cut the hose. (mine ended up being roughly in half)

Step 6:
Using the other piece of 5/8" hose press onto the outlet off the crankcase and secure with hose clamp as well.
You can now start putting the intercooler and hoses back on and running the filter hoses where you see fit.
Press the drain pipe (if you purchased it as an extra part of the kit) onto the bottom of the filter and run the clear tube out of the way




Step 7:
Once you have decided where your going to place/mount the filter you can cut your hoses to length and secure onto the reducers with clamps.

NOTE: the top hose ie the one coming from the crankcase goes into the top of the filter and the bottom hose going to the turbo comes from the bottom of the filter.



Step 8: Tighten everything up again and re install the engine cover.

Step 9: Marvel at your finished product and place bandaid over cut on finger from earlier stanley knife mishap.





Things to note:
When ordering this kit there are different small hose sizes and reducer sizes depending on which vehicle you have. I told them I had a hilux but they still got me to check my fitting sizes just to be sure so if they ask you need the 5/8" hose and reducers.
I bought the universal kit that comes with the hoses and clamps and stuff but you can just buy the unit itself so make sure you get the kit.
The fitting on the turbo is actually a 1 inch fitting (as you can see in the first 2 photos) so if you had more of the 1 inch hose you could run it directly from the turbo to the filter without the need for any reducers but the kit only comes with about a foot of 1 inch hose which isnt enough so if you were to tell them you need about a metre more of the 1 inch when you order then you could do this. This would also negate the need to cut the original pcv pipe. I did ring and they are going to send me out some more but as im impatient and i need my car for tomorrow and seeing as though the pipe from the pcv is only 5/8" anyway your not going to get any better flow by using the bigger hose all the way to the turbo from the filter.

As my truck has abs room is very limited so what i ended up doing was pulling the engine wiring loom holder out of the back corner of the bay and push it back even further and placing the filter right in the corner between the abs pump and the brake booster. Its not secured by anything yet but its not going anywhere and it was the only spot i could see to place it. For trucks without abs this would be alot easier as theres stacks more room without the pump there.

Let me know what you guys think

Thanks mate, havent been for a drive yet but if nothing else it will clean the air going into the turbo and should reduce smoke by a fair amount

[KTM525EXC]

Well done Josh, great write up

[Noidea]

Cheers Troy. Went for my first drive today and I can honestly say the smoke out the back has been reduced by at least 50%..... at least

[Quinny34]

Love it... Especially the bandaid....

[sclaff]

Cheers Josh, awesome write up !!!
Thats just what ive been waiting to see, confirmed how i thought it might connect up.
Just gotta get me rattly old injectors sorted out (new dlc's next week) & then i'm onto it.
Cheers
Steve

Thanks Steve, well worth it with how much less smoke I blow now

Mods Feel free to make it sticky in the right place if you guys want

[packeteer]

i think I'll add this to my list of future mods

[hdlux]

Great info thank you,so have you looked inside to see how much oil it has stopped from going into turbo,i am keen to know

Ive only driven about 40 kays so far with nothing yet but will let you know on my next service. Keep an eye on my build thread

[KTM525EXC]

Yeah time will tell how much it catches. It will be interesting how it looks in 10k

Im very interested to. We shall see

Hey Josh, just wondering, where did you plumb the clear drain tube to ???
back into the sump ???
or just up outta the way, obviously leaving the end up higher so it doesn't drip on the driveway.
Cheers
Steve

Good right up mate, unfortunately not every 2005+ hilux has the same style pcv inlet at the bottom of the air inlet connection, my 2010 has a plastic inlet bung that connects horizontally to the side of the black air pipe and not the metal - vertical entry point down the bottom to use...




Makes it alot harder to sort out as this plastic inlet bung points back towards the rocker cover

Na mate didnt plumb it back into the sump, way to hard. I just ran it down a little to collect some oil then back up and over near my airbox somewhere. Ill put it somewhere proper soon. It wont drip cause it has a ball valve on the end of it.

Yeah thats sh!t mate. I wonder what year the inlet style changed??

[danmcccc]

just looking at how youve mountd the can, now without knowing the internal design of it, just making the observation that shouldnt the outlet be up the tope of the can coz if its down the bottom it wont catch much before it "overflows" into the turbo :S
