Just pondering here, but if someone were to install a PSD turbo on an IDI, in theory they could hook the EBPV up to the cold idle and cold timing advance circuit, and it should help it warm up faster, right? I'm just thinking that the increased back pressure would increase the EGT and dump more heat into the cooling system VIA the heads therefor helping to warm up the engine in the winter. What say y'all?

No. The EBPV doenst do anything on a PSD so I doubt it would do anything on a IDI
Like I said, just pondering... I was thinking of when I put a muffler on my IDI, cruising at 60 my EGT was 750-800, whereas without the muffler it is 450-500. So I was just thinking outside the box, if you believe in the box even being there.

Stone crusher.
Sure dose something on a PSD.
It leaks. Gives PSD owners somthing else to modify.
So it actually dose something.

Have you never seen a functional one or are you saying they dont work very good?

I disconnect EVERY one I come across. Right now I am in the process of removing the one on my F550 while the engine is out and is super simple to get to.
The idea behind it is to restrict exhaust flow and to warm the engine up faster. I have never had one warm anything up faster. All they do is come on in the most inopportune times and restrict exhaust flow which kills the power.
I just get a chip with a high idle setting and THAT warms the engine faster.
It is even rumored to drop EGTs 50* with the EBPV removed because of uninterrupted exhaust gasses

If you think it doesn't do anything, your weather just isn't cold enough. Even with high idle, it is a necessity for keeping an engine remotely warm at -30, and operating temperature under no load is a faint hope. It also makes a not half bad exhaust brake.
But, if your normal weather doesn't include the frigid weather I have all too much experience with, you aren't going to notice the difference.

That is what I was going to say, and they can be annoying at times, but when it is really cold they do help. They make a very easy exhaust bake.

I would say it could work. If it was hooked up to the high idle switch like you said, it wouldn't be as touchy as they are on PSDs...

It does work, I have one on my truck.

YOu are right. I have never seen -30* weather. The coldest its ever gets in NEPA is 0. But then again where does it get to -30 in the US?
