    EGR eradication confusion RRS 2007 TDV8 3.6l

    Hi folks sorry about all the spam lately with this new to me vehicle..

    Just thinking I should disable the EGRs on this as from what I can tell its a good idea. But yeah just perusing the forums here and there seems to be a few options and I'm not clear on which would be best or how to go about any of them. From what I can tell you can just delete the EGRs from the ECU, you can get emulators from somewhere like autocode.. or you can just blank them off?

    I'm based in Darwin so I can't just drive into a place to get the ECU modified.. I do have the GAP IIDtool on order if that helps with any of this...

    I'm ok at basic mechanics.. can service a car etc... the youtube video about installing the emulators looks very basic.. just not sure if there needs to be any reprogramming or anything.. would I get a remap done also if reprogramming ECU and can this be done without going into a tuning place?

    Any suggestions/pointers most welcome!

    Cheers
    Paul

    You can use your IID tool to buy/install remap from Peter Bell Automotive to disable the EGRs and/or increase engine performance.

    Just blanking them off will throw codes like mad. Have to fit an emulator if you want to blank, or tune them out. There can be some unwanted cooling system impact if you remove the lot (refer other thread going). I think if I did mine again I would have left them in and tuned them out.

    Had each of my TDV8’s done with the full ECU remap that takes them out of play plus blanking plates in case something fails. Not cheap but money well spent if you do a lot of miles or are towing.... or just like a bit more power EGR eradication confusion RRS 2007 TDV8 3.6l

    Plates look fine, but i couldn’t comment on the IIDtool delete. Mine was done through Davis Performance and I know it took a while to fully de-bug the EGR delete, but that was a few years ago now. Someone else here might have more info on the other tune / delete packages.
    Good luck!

    Emulators and blanking plates working a treat. I tow a big van with no problems at all. Just removed the front 2 mufflers near the firewall too. Get a lot of great comments (even from my wife) about how great it sounds now.

    can you confirm you tried only blanking first yourself and got errors ?

    Perth based tuner

    Does anyone know of a Perth based diesel tuner that has successfully completed the EGR blanking and retune on a 2007 TDV8

    I had an IID Tool so bought the EGR delete software from Bell Auto Services and some blanking plates from a ? place in UK off ebay.
    You do not remove the EGRs, just remove pipes from EGRs to inlet and fit blanks to EGR and inlet holes. Also need to cut off the butterflies that is at the entrance to the inlet manifold. So that bit is not reversible.
    Easy enough to do it all yourself if you have played with mechanical things yourself in the past. The guy from BAS (Peter) responds nicely to silly questions too.
    I think the EGR Delete software from BAS also includes a mild throttle response update, could be wrong but feels like it and think i read it somewhere. Can pay for and apply the software for a tune-up at the same time.
    EGR delete is not for a performance improvement but helps stop carbon build up in the manifold and restricting performance as the engine gets older.
    Anyway I have had no problems after it being installed for about 3 years.
