Was 300 miles away from doing the usual remove EGR & clean carbon when I got the ole check engine light for the EGR. Removed..cleaned it out with Sea Foam....and said what the heck...made a blocking plate out of a wall cover switch plate from Lowe's for $1.69 and voila...runs like a rape date! No more exhaust smothering these Supercharged cylinders!Originally Posted by Jolly Roger VX'er
correct me if I'm wrong; but, couldn't one if one so desired block off the egr where the inlet pipe bolts up to the engine (exhaust). Also, one could use the egr gasket as a template and make a tin blocking plate to be placed directly under the egr itself.
this would not only block the egr from functioning, but also leave it in place for show (where visual inspection dictates a egr to be seen) and leave the electrical harness connected so that a check engine light wouldn't be on for a disconnected harness?
****not condoning this act nor have I tried it myself...just bored and doing waaaaay to much devious thinking.
****also not sure what effect higher cylinder temps would have on oil usage for your particular engine!
The thoughts of a Supercharged engine w/cold air intake providing a completely fresh air/fuel mixture to the cylinders devoid of reburnt exhaust sounds yummie!
