Longview Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Anyone ever delete the egr system? The pipe is rotted on mine and i was thinking of just removing the bungs and welding them up, and making a block off plate for the valve itself.

fiatslug87 Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 It has been done by many. As long as it does not need Smog inspection it will be OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious, did a quick search with the tapatalk app and couldnt find anything.Just going to do that then. Anything over 15 years in my state is just a saftey inspection.

I understand I'm not going to make anymore power. But i am going to gain simplicity, and save myself the headach trying to find that pipe locally.

Longview Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 Interesting to me that the article doesnt even mention NOX. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ωhm Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Don't think EGR deals with NOx. NOx shows up when running lean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nox is less of a problem in gas vehicles since in cylinder temps are lower. I'm a Peterbilt tech, egr is a huge factor lowing Nox in diesels since they burn a lot hotter.

Longview Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 Yea, diesel emissions is a different world. Sure, but EGR is used to lower in cylinder temps to prevent Nox, Nox can still form in a gas engine, lean or under load.
