EGR Delete?

[jasonh_86]

I had heard about people doing an EGR delete on their cars... What are the benefits of this?.. Why do they do it and what problems can come from the delete?

:SNSign:

Bump on this one. I've got a PI intake on a 95 Cougar, and I'm going to end up having to delete the EGR on this too, and want to know what to expect.

The EGR delete is mainly cosmetic. It makes the engine compartment look much cleaner. Intake temps are slightly lower as well. I think the only downfall is you must add this to your tune or it will throw a code.

i also have heard about that too, that if you do a EGR delete that you have to integrate it in the tune or your car will run like s*** and throw a code

i bought the EGR delete kit from Randy just last week so i'll be ditching mine. As long as you make the adjustment in your tune/handheld programmer the car will run fine. I'm ditching mine for looks and i don't wan't any of the crap coming back into my intake tract. I may lose a little gas milage but i obviously won't care since i'll be stomping around at WOT listening to the blower wine

 

[jasonh_86]

Sweet.. Would you care to share how much that delete kit costs? ... Sharing is caring, **** the RIAA

I'm thinking about doing this, but i'm still not too sure.. I guess i'll have to look further into it

 

[DropTopPony]

under $20 i think...PM Randy for an exact price. I ordered a bunch of stuff so i don't remember.

I'll most likely be doing this when I install my headers, mainly because I don't wanna deal with it haha.

 

[Cantslowdown]

Is it any hp gain..

That's exactly why I was thinking about doing it.. I don't feel like getting by the EGR crap

i cant believe i am hearing this. its just one damn nut. its nothing to worry about, easy as hell to get to.

 

[BennyBlown2v]

...but its one damn nut I don't want to deal with What if it leaks, oh teh noez then I would have to jack the car up and fix it! lol... And hey, anyone doing their own header install can't be that lazy!

true true.. but don't some people have problems with the header on the driver's side not wanting to fit properly because of the EGR tube? I could be wrong tho

QFMFT!

I'll be doing mine.. with the help of a couple of my esteemed colleagues

benefit of the delete is a cooler intake and cleaner looking engine compartment, slo longtubes do not have EGR provision.

the draw back is you will raise you NOX emmisions.

The egr lowers your NOX emmisions by lowering combustion temp. I know that seems starnge that EGR lowers the combustion temp but it does. The reason why it does is becuase already burnt exhaust gas contains no burnable oxygen, so it does not suport combustion. The EGR burnt exhaust gasses act like a space holder taking up volume in the combustion chamber and becuase of this less air/fuel mix is being burnt and that lowers combustion temp.

Sweet.. thanks for the explanation

I may just have to delete this sucker if it's not too much work

I got rid of mine because it makes the engine bay look neater. You won't notice anything else except the car will be a few pounds lighter. I made my own aluminum plate to put in place of the egr and it looks like it come from the factory that way. I also used a self-threading oil plug to plug the manifold. You can cut your tube and use the cap off of it by closing an end of it, but i wanted to save mine.

leathal performance has a kit that is ready to go itll plug the manifold and cap the plenum

Hey green you found ancient thread huh. Must be poking around to get your post count up.

What size what it exactly to plug the manifold? Thanks..
