Description
Introducing the Ford BackPressure Sensor Eliminator from scorpion diesel. This device is a must-have for any Ford PowerStroke 7.3L owner 1999-2003. Even if you are just running bone-stock, adding this device will give you valuable performance gains at a fraction of the cost of a full-on fueling module or programmer type device. And if you have a programmer or other fuel-adding device, you should add one to your truck today and maximize the potential horsepower hiding in your engine.
Do you have a modified truck or a bad Exhaust Backpressure Sensor?
Did you know that when you throw an Exhaust Pressure Sensor code, that your truck will defuel on top just like an overboost code? Yes it can and does happen. The exhaust backpressure sensor when a reading of 45PSI or more is achieved will store a code and remain in a 'defueled' mode until the next drive cycle. If your sensor is bad or failing (you can have intermittent failures) or you have a really hot chip, this code can get thrown nearly every drive cycle. This costs you top end boost, and power since the truck isn't fueling as it should.
The scorpion diesel Exhaust Backpressure Sensor Eliminator ensures that your truck won't throw any of the codes associated with a bad sensor or high reading. The dongle incorporates circuitry to maintain a happy pressure reading on the sensor that stays constant. The EBPS tells the Cold Weather Package when to kick out under driving conditions, at 30PSI. This means that you will need to disable the factory EBV operation. If you have an exhaust brake this is easily done, and just as easy without. If you have a modified turbo on a truck with CWP, then you just plug this dongle into the sensor. A new EBPS will set you back $175 at the dealer parts counter. This item at $29.99 will eliminate the need permanently. We recommend a pyrometer for this mod, but since you already have a modified truck most likely, you already have one. This way if the EBV were to stick closed, you would be able to know your EGTs were climbing before any potential damage. If you have any questions please email us. The Sensor dongle simply slips on to the PCM wiring from the EBPS. Zip tie it up and you are ready for your test ride.
Key Features
- Higher Boost (depends on level of modifications, but even stock vehicles will make more boost). In general 5-10 PSI additional is typical. Higher values are possible with more aggressive fueling enhancements.
- Lower EGTs (as much as 250 degrees or more on highly modified vehicles)
- Improved Driveability throughout the powerband
- Potential for better mileage
