Egr delete.

[Hemet8]

Is it really worh the trouble to get rid of the EGR? Any performance gains? My repair manual (hains) says it actually helps keep the engine cool at times. Looks like a real pain to get the custum chip for it, then make block off plates on the intake and the exhaudt manifolds. Thanks for the input. Car is a '95 GA SE.

No real "gain" by getting rid of it. I only removed mine because I did not want to put another "bung" on my downpipe...

[sharkey]

yea same deal here, i just didnt wanna make a flange on my headers to put it on

[eliteweapons]

I may help with t he emissions but other than that if you don't need it remove it and keep the junk out of the intake and heads. No need for extra carbon scratching the cylinder walls.

My unit is still there, but the PCM part has been neutered. No loss, no gain. The unit shall soon disappear. It's ugly anyway.

Funny, but informative.

Anybody make EGR delete plates for the GEN II 2.8/3.1? 88GTRacer

All you need is a small piece of aluminum with a couple holes for bolts on the manifold. Then a parst store should have a block off fitting for the exhaust manifold.

I want a nice CNC aluminum peice so that way I don't have any leaks. 88GTRacer

[geoffinbc]

CNC what? Dude get a flat piece of 1/4" aluminum cut it the outside shape of the gasket with the holes. Put the gasket on and bolt it down. Done no leaks.

Jigsaw and a drill...

Might still get an SES light if its not disabled in the computer.

[geoffinbc]

Yes you certianly will.

If I watch how I drive, I can get the light to not turn on. The only time it turns on is if I coast from a high rate of speed for alittle while without tapping the pedal or being hard on the brakes.

that is the same way mine is. EGR function is shut off in the chip, but the actual EGR is still there and only serves to block off the plenum and the bung on the crossover pipe. like betterthanyou said - 1/4" aluminum cut out in the shape of the EGR gasket is the way to go. i'm going to have the bung on the crossover pipe chopped off and welded shut. i had thought about going so far as to drill/tap the EGR blockoff plate so i could add a short 4-port McMaster-Carr vacuum/boost manifold distribution block. i still might i guess but the vacuum/boost "distribution block" on top of the TB is good enough i guess. i just don't like the MAP sensor and HVAC lines that run under the plenum. a vacuum block sticking out from where the EGR was could serve as a source for boost gauge, MAP, FPR, MBC (or two...or three), BOV, HVAC, cruise control, hobbs switches for alky injection or extra injectors.

Mine's gone. Only reason I got rid of it really was it was really hard to install and remove. Between aftermarket headers and the supercharger, it made working on anything a PITA since I always had to disconnet it, plus it took up a lot of room in the back of the engine bay with the tubing and adapter to route it to the SC. Really cleaned things up by taking it out, and eliminated a source of heat going into the blower.

I just used a flat aluminum bar with a couple holes drilled in it and the stock gasket to seal the intake mani. Header bung I used a brass pipe plug and some copper RTV and that sealed it right up. For the computer I have a DHP powrtuner so I just turned off all the EGR codes and set the activation point so high it would never turn on. That basically eliminates it from the equation.
