5 words up front I must say....... 'No I won't do yours'
it was a bastard of a job, it was many hours worth of pain and I'm quite over it.
Although I'm glad it's in.
I was planning on making this a step by step guide, but that idea went out the window when I realised the install wasn't going to be as simple as I thought.
The Provent is an excellent piece of kit, it is made from what appears to be ABS plastic.
My install comprised of the following:
16 x 16-27mm metal hose clamps
6 x 25 mm plastic irrigation elbows
2 x ~12mm hose clamps
2 x 25mm M10 bolts
2 x M10 Nylock nuts
2 x brass washers
1 x piece of (make a bracket)
1 x 13mm irrigation plug
~1 x length of 25MM clear vinyl tubing
~ 100mm of 12.5mm clear vinyl tubing
1 x Provent 200
I very quickly realised that I'd be making a contribution of sweat, blood and burnt skin to finish this install, so here goes....
Engine bay, Prior to install, air filter lid removed.
Provent mounted to a piece of 'make a bracket', after testing various install positions in the engine bay, the red lines indicate the portion that had been cut off to accommodate a cleaner install.
The unit has also been dropped 1 ring in the bracket.
Provent unit installed, and hoses connected, orange glow courtesy of 2 x 500W halogen work lights. it was getting late in the day and I was needing dinner.
Provent resting in battery tray, a later design will involve me removing the battery and making a right angle bracket that the battery will sit on top of to hold the Provent stable.
Presently it sits quite firm and doesn't wiggle much as the 25mm hoses keep it in check.
the CCV outlet hose and 25mm elbow have been replaced, this was because I had cut the pipe slightly short and it was slightly slipping out of the hose.
this was not due to heat or due to engine oil, but due to the uneven clamping force on the pipe end.
when using irrigation elbows, make sure that the barb is ground down a bit to allow you to remove it from the pipe, as pictured once they are inserted into vinyl plastic they cut a groove into the tube and can not be removed.
not included in the above is the plugged hose on the bottom of the Provent to seal the unit from outside air and to stop the oil leaking.
by using this method I have retained the factory CCV breather tube to the turbo inlet tube, the engine cover sits on the engine with a very slight lift at the back right corner, I will provide an updated pic shortly.
all products except the Provent were purchased from Bunnings, the Provent came from Neil at Sydney Filters.
Hopefully this guide will be helpful to many others.
