Thread: EGR blanking kit.

Bacicat: I also have an Allisport and they shipped it direct to me.
I could not believe the amunt of gunk that was restricting airflow before that.

I just levered it into position with the back of a small breaker bar, then put the clamp back on. There is only a small amount of tension on it, and I seriously doubt I will ever have a problem.

My advise would be to be a bit more heavy handed with it - you don't need to strain anything, but you are right about it not sitting in exactly the same spot.

If you want a hand doing it, I am in the Geelong area for the next couple of days - at Avalon working at the Airshow build, so I would be more than happy to pop in one night after work and help you.

Oh, and my EGR valve is 35mm from the face to the centre of the exhaust tube - same as yours.

Hi Gav,
Just to let you know that I finally got around to fitting the replcement kit from Allisport, fitted perfectly so there must have been a batch a few mm out. As you explained I could have fitted the original, but as they offered to send a new one I waited. Looks like I have a spare !

This is probably not the right thread for this by the rules, but seems appropriate to me given the history above.
I have a spare Allisport blanking kit, I finished up with 2 for the price of one. I am happy to sell one for half the landed cost to me. The unit is slightly incorrect (see my correspondence with Gav above), but can be fitted satisfactorily.
Please pm me if interested.
Peter

Update - Item sold 19 Mar.

Just ordered a kit but in the meantime what are the symptoms of an EGR valve that is stuck open? Jim

UPDATE 2 - Item not sold, (buyer did not pick up). $65 is half cost, plus post, est $5-$8, depending on where buyer located.

How much did it cost? I got mine from England for around $55 including postage...oops, mine was for an L322. Jim

Hi Jim,
I bought the Allisport, cost with freight $130, see on ebay for $105 plus freight. I went for the aluminium to match the manifold material (same expansion rate) rather than the SS or coated steel that are much cheaper.
