Egr Delete?

[skid9uk]

Hi there has anyone done this? i ordered the parts today from Allard Motor Sport, is it an easy job?

Thanks

no ones done it themselves from what i know, but a few have had the change done by allard. From what i understand its simply a unbolt and bolt on the new parts job. should be easy enough.

I just made a epsilonian device at work just incase my car throws a cell after installing the EGR bloker kit.

Whats a epsilonian device?

Mine was replaced with the Allards conversion but my Engine check light is always on now

It stops you throwing a cell, some cars in the states throw a cell and this device connects to the MAF, ECU and EGR it keeps the voltage steady or something so your car still thinks the EGR is still on. I rang simon from upsolute he said if my car does throw a cell which it shouldn't he can come and clear it for me anyway. but i made one just incase.

I did it myself, with the help of a mechanic mate. I assume you've ordered the "race pipe"? basically involves (with me) getting a 90 degree silicone bend to attach to the rest of the Allard FMIC pipework, unscrewing the complete EGR / manifold assembly. Removing the two vacuum pipes and setting aside (I've got them bent back and secured to make safe). Then just make up a gasket, or use some exhaust gunk, and attach race pipe to the engine. I assume you have a boost gauge,m as the Allards pipe comes with a tap off for a pipe. Net result? This.

i'm getting one this month and fitting it myself also a boost guage easy enough.
engine check light can't be avoided as soon as it clears pops up again.

depends if it's EDC15 or 16

Im still waiting for this i got back from my holls and nothings been delivered i'll try ringing them on monday

 

[skid9uk]

I found some info on tdiclub that if you disconnect the vacuum pipe off the EGR and block it up it does the same thing so i tryed it and drove round for abit and thank god i never got a cell

 

[redcupratdi]

does the same thing by not letting gases through...but the egr "race pipe" opens up the inlet manifold alot! as it increases diaminter and makes a free flow!

 

[skid9uk]

Im still getting the race pipe, allard is going to ring me on monday to confirm when it will be ready. will i notice any performace gains or just a cleaner intake?

This is an epsilonian device, although where the name comes from is still a mystery. It fakes the output of the MAF to make it look as though the EGR is still working. Sounds a little dodgy to me.

For $deities sake, people, it's a CEL, a Check Engine Light, not a cell which is part of the battery, or of the catalyst.

I have the <obscenity> EGR valve disabled by disconnecting the electrical connector to the N18 control valve. I don't get a CEL, but I expect there is a fault code stored in the ECU. I'll reconnect the N18 valve before it goes for service.

EGR is about reducing NOx emissions by keeping the combustion temperature down under part-load. The method used, rebreathing exhaust gas, is extremely unpleasent and contributes to major problems as the engine gets older, clogging the inlet manifold and the valve eventually sticks open to cause limp mode.

I'm not convinced by the arguments about NOx, as there is considerable research showing that reducing NOx while increasing CO and soot production (which is what the EGR does, as well as reducing efficiency) has an overall negative impact on the environment.

Yor could get your tuner to disable the EGR in the ecuwhen you get the car mapped

EDC15 or 16 must be a f****** echo in here
