Is it worth doing a DPF Delete?


 

The combustion of diesel engines produces diesel particles. These diesel particles are released into the atmosphere through the exhaust. The diesel particulate filter was created because emission standards have become more stringent over time. This device is installed in the exhaust and is used to remove diesel soot or ash from the exhaust gases. It works by forcing the gases through thousands of channels that collect diesel soot.

Some filters can only be used once and need to be replaced. Others, however, can be active burned off by the engine control unit, ECU, by increasing the temperature or injecting fuel into it to burn it off. This is known as filter regeneration. All filters eventually lose their efficiency and will need to be replaced.

There are many different types of filter technology available, including ceramic fiber filters and metal flow through filters. All of these filters have the goal of fine filtration for diesel particles.

How does this impact you and your car?

DISADVANTAGES OF DPF SYSTEM

Most emissions-related devices can be a party pooper, especially for performance enthusiasts.

The DPF, which is an additional restriction in the exhaust (think catalytic convertors), causes slightly lower performance and a sluggish feeling.

DPF-equipped vehicles have another problem. Owners must maintain and service the vehicle, such as changing the DPF when it becomes 'full'. This can be done by cleaning the DPF every 12 months, 1000hrs, or 60-100,000.km, depending on manufacturer recommendations.

They eventually get fouled, regardless of how often the vehicle DPF regeneration is done to 'burn off'.

Failure to maintain this maintenance results in reduced exhaust flow, which can lead to lower power output, reduced fuel economy, and DPFs that are cracked or faulty, requiring full replacement.

It would be great to have just one thing to worry about.

THE DPF DELETE and THE BENEFITS

DPF's can be an emission device. Therefore, we recommend that a DPF remove kit only be installed for off-road vehicles. There are many benefits to having DPF's removed from your exhaust system.

1. This eliminates the need for regular service (cleaning, replacement) of the DPF.

2. 2.) A DPF deletion will eliminate the possibility of DPF failure, which could lead to expensive diesel repairs

3. The DPF delete reduces exhaust backpressure and increases exhaust flow, which in turn increases motor performance!

4. The DPF delete, when paired with an ECU map, is proven to increase power & torque for all cars

A PPD Performance ECU map is highly recommended to maximize fuel mapping and eliminate any DPF error codes.

Don't let the DPF on a 4x4 diesel deter you! A PPD Performance DPF deletion or full turbo back exhaust system can be used to fix DPF problems. ECU mapping can also be done to fit your vehicle. This will ensure a more reliable and maintenance-free experience for you. You'll also enjoy the additional benefits of more power, efficiency, and better fuel economy.

PPD Performance has designed a variety of turbo back exhaust systems, including DPF delete, for the most popular 4x4 models. Check for your vehicle here today!

Please note: DPF Removal components are only for off-road use.

What are the problems with the 6.4 Powerstroke?

  The 6.4L Power Stroke , introduced in 2007 for the 2008 model year Ford Super Duty's, had a lot of work ahead. The 6.0L Power Stroke's five-year production run brought failure after failure to the surface. Ford loyalists, eager to welcome a new power plant, jumped at the opportunity to purchase them. The 6.4L V8's combination turbocharger arrangement, common rail injection system and 350hp & 650 lb-ft seemed promising on paper. However, the honeymoon was short-lived. The 6.4L Power Stroke is plagued by failing emissions control components, fuel system contaminants, corrosion, leaking hoses and hoses as well as cracked turbo-up-pipes and severe oil dilution. Most cases of engine failure occur between 150,000 and 200,000 miles. And because the repair costs on a 6.4L are so high (often double what they would be on a 6.0L Power Stroke), many owners simply walk away from the truck. Continue reading to learn more about the 6.4L's most infamous failure points, and what

What happens if you get caught with DPF Delete?

  Thousands of drivers have been caught driving without their  diesel particulate filter , new figures reveal.   Since 2014, 1,800 drivers were caught by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency driving without the pollution-reducing filter. It is legal to remove a car’s DPF but it is against the law to drive without one if it should be installed.   Some drivers who have their DPFs blocked may simply opt to remove them instead of paying for a new one, which can cost around PS1,000.   Drivers of cars could face a PS1,000 fine for doing this, while van drivers without DPFs will be subject to a PS2,500 penalty. Diesel particulate filters trap microscopic pollutants from diesel engines that would otherwise escape into the atmosphere.   However, they require periodic'regeneration' which involves burning off the captured particles.   This can only happen at very high temperatures. Vehicles are often driven at a high speed to achieve this temperature.   Because diesel drivers who live

Exhaust system on cars

Exhaust system on cars has 3 main functions. First transfer the toxic exhaust gas from the engine to the rear of the vehicle. Second, it reduces engine noise while the car is running. Finally, it converts unburnt fuel into a non-toxic combustion product through a catalytic converter. Exhaust system includes: an exhaust manifold, exhaust duct, catalytic converter, muffler and exhaust pipe (behind the car). The speed of exhaust air circulation at the end of the system is usually very large, the exhaust system has a continuous structure to reduce the huge flow rate of exhaust gas flow, the silencer system to get enough sound, it is belongs to the driver's application and preferences Exhaust manifold An exhaust manifold is used to transfer the exhaust gas from the outlet on the cover to the exhaust pipe. Most discharge manifolds contribute from 3,4,6 ... discharge contribution depends on each engine. There are discharge manifolds with an oxygen sensor mounted on the casing of th
