Thread: EGR removal.... more than I bargained for!

I have been eyeing off the deletion of my EGR for a while, so now I will have to do it . Sounds like the improvements are worth the time and effort.

I know what the EGR is but what does the kit do...?And how?

it takes out the EGR valve system so the exhaust gasses dont go to the inlet. its replaced with a pipe and flange for the inlet manifold/turbo hose and a small blanking plate for the transfer pipe.

Thanks Phil . Does it work for the V8 too? the main references semm to be for diesel and turbo.

This was useful for me (also an EGR Dummy):

Exhaust gas recirculation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I made one up myself. The thing pulls better between 2000 and 3000 rpm.If ya get rid of the muffler it helps more. After i get back from holidays in early Jan i will make a few kits up for the egr. So if anyone wants one drop me a PM and i will get onto it then. $50 should do. You get 2 gaskets a block off plate and the inlet fitting painted black or black

which V8? i dont know much about the new range of v8's, but if its got one in the system i figure it would have the same out come if removed.
anything to lower intake charge will be a plus.

As a 1st step you could at least unplug the modulator and/or block the vacuum tube to prevent the ecu from opening the valve, then change the housing later.
