EGR delete/ECU tune

[sandgroper57]

Finally decided to get this done on my RRS 3.6 TDV8 as no other physical way of blanking the EGR,s apparently.
Will be done tomorrow so will post results after a do a bit of test driving.
Anyone else dad this done recently.? If so how has it worked out?

Performance will be excellent... 700+ Nm and 230+Kw and soooo smooth...😎

You can get the blanking plugs fairly cheaply. And EGR emulators that keep the ECU happy (and the valves closed). I have both but neither fitted as yet so can't comment on anything apart from availability.

Decided to go this way as get the latest factory updates and a performance tune to boot.

I did emulators. It has worked out well.

But I think a tune with mapping out the EGR is another great option. Evo was very happy with his tune.

I posted in this thread some time back. Hope it helps.

i had mine tuned out.
nothing mechanical to change.
plus you can retune for power, POWER, MORE POWER! OMG THERES SO MUCH POWER!!!!*



*torque

[sandgroper57]

All good so far, very noticeable difference in power and the lag has reduced significantly- much more confident at the roundabouts where before i went so close to getting T boned due to slow response.

I looked at the emulators but am not convinced that this modification keeps the car legal and if picked up by an insurance assessor could void an insurance claim...my mechanic has an EGR cleaner, cost about $200 to have them cleaned and a brilliant result. Noticeably better performance.

Which EGR cleaner did he use? Regular use of an induction cleaner is a possible alternative to disabling the EGRs. I did both.

Emulators are an uncommon modification. I doubt any assessor would know what they were. The boxes fit inside the ECU box. No one will look that far.

An assessor will be looking for other more obvious stuff that hasn’t been declared and that change the performance of a car. A remap is also difficult to identify and unlikely to be picked up.

Oh the mechanic recommended and then sold it [bigrolf].

They normally do not work for long and the problems come back soon and wallet is empty.

Who ended up doing the work for you? Could you share the cost as well?

Thanks

ThanksAutocode done the work, price was $1150 which was comparable to 2 other quotes, got a few other ecu,s upgraded in the process. Definately a much better car to drive, not sure if it improved fuel economy at this stage but that wasnt the objective of having it done.

Mark at Autocode quoted me $600 just for the EGR blanking, and another $1150'for a remap for extra power/torque...or did I misunderstand that and it's actually $1150 for the lot?

i had mine tuned out, plus remap, for $800 total.
