Thread: EGR blanking kit.

Thanks Gary, I think I will pull the manifold off and clean it when I do mine. I have ordered the Alisport one, and it is currently winging its way here. It is showing at Sydney this morning, so I should have it soon.

Cheers - Gav.

Has anyone had a problem fitting the Allisport EGR blanking kit. Tried to fit mine this morning and it wouldnt mate up properly with the manifold and the pipe coming in from the RHS (even tried loosening the lower clamp on this pipe to no avail) When comparing the original valve to the kit, the side stub for the pipe is about 4mm out so when the pipes fit together the flange of the kit is 4 mm from the manifold. I dont like the idea of pulling it that far. Just about to email Allisport, but thought I would check the experience of others, or am I missing something ?

Haven't fitted mine yet... Still sitting on the bench with a new inline fuel pump and breather kit...

If it's not too hot in the morning I'll have a play and report back..

That's funny Gav, I fitted my (second) in-line pump this morning! The first was a cheap one from Poland, and id developed a leak that was getting worse, so I bought the second from Hi-Flow in the States (they were out of stock last time) on inspection this morning, on the Polish one the whole plastic insert was wobbly inside the ali case! so whatever was used to seal it had gone!
The Hi-Flow one has a lifetime warrantee (for what it's worth)
Just waiting for some cooler weather to do all the brake pads....

Hi Peter

It was a while ago that I fitted my Alisport EGR blanking unit . But from memory had no issues what so ever Otherwise I would not have recomended it. Fitted real easy

Hi Fraser

Thats not good to hear about the Polish pump as that is what I have fitted. After recomendations on a few forums. Not trouble with mine yet. Touch wood !!!!

Gary, I'll be doing a "post-mortem" soon, and will let you know how it goes

Hi Gav,
If you get this in time could you measure the distance from the face of manifold flange to centre of blanked exhaust stub, mine is 31mm, but on the EGR valve it is closer to 35mm.
thanks, Peter

Yep, 31mm on mine too. I haven't got around to fitting it yet, my back has been playing up today and I'm laid up on the couch.

Maybe later today or one evening this week.
