what would i have to do to remove my EGR valve and still have the car function?

good question- I've heard of people deleting their egr valves also... idk if that was just with a bigger TB though...

Your EGR closes at WOT so your not gonna gain much of anything by removing it.

do a search. Roundman made a good reply to it.


and you do gain alittle from not having EGR. it cloggs up alot of ****. when i removed mine it had the tube solid clogged. the head was plugged solid

Roundman was the one who gave me the information I stated above.

Quik

you didnt state how to remove it. you just told him you dont gain much. you gain a few things. weight,looks and some performance

if i just took off the EGR spacer between the throttle body anf the intake manifold would my car still work properly?

I didnt state how to remove it because I wasnt educated enough on the subject to give sufficient information. What I did state was that from, what I have gathered from some reliable sources, that with the removal of the EGR assembly HP gains are dimunitive. I apologize that my statement wasnt suitable for some people.

if youre worried about the check engine light you have to get an egr simulator(ebay). now you can either take it off completely for weight or looks, which means an egr eliminator plate(ebay). or you can just unplug it (plug in the simulator if you got one) and plug the vacumm line coming to it. the only problem with eliminating the egr is part throttle detonation. you should run 89 octane, and no more than 14° initial timing. sounds like alot of work for not really any gain at all, except more emissions, and less gas mileage. but its your choice.

I got one of those ebay things for $20us and just made a plate for where the valve goes.
I still get 330kms per tank of gas.
I dont know what mpg that is.

it is way easier to get my throttle body off, it doesnt catch on my strut tower brace anymore, and it just looks better.
then again all my emissions was gone when I bought my car.
