Hey all,

I'm going to be switching the SN95 style throttle body to the Fox set up. I'm going with an Accufab 90mm. The TB kit comes with an EGR spacer. So, my question concerns the EGR. I don't plan on running one and ripping out all of my pollution crap in the car.

Can someone point me in the right direction as far as a kit or alike they've used to block off/delete the EGR? And how should I set up the throttle cable bracket?

This will delete the EGR...http://www.ebay.com/itm/290849949739...84.m1423.l2649

I you're going to delete the egr, you can also delete the egr spacer and get one of those thin egr delete plates on ebay.

So there's no point in using the spacer correct?

The egr delete plate doesn't have the nipples for the 2 coolant lines that connect to the stock egr spacer, just the holes to hook up the throttle cable. Also, you lose over an inch in length with the delete plate, since its much thinner.

I use the spacer because it has the provision to bolt the throttle cable to, and I use a egr simulator to delete the electrical portion from rjm enterprises

Just my 2 cents...

If its a daily driver or mostly street driven, keep the EGR. It does improve MPG and closes at full throttle anyway. Only down side (for power) is that it increases intake temps. Which can be offset a little w/a cooler t-stat and keeping coolant flowing to the spacer.

If its a car where you don't care about mileage.. then getting rid of it will help with keeping the intake a cooler which helps power a little. It'll also reduce the amount of carbon recirculated.. which over time helps valve guides and rings to not wear as quickly.

And if your a real car geek... run the EGR and in the tune you can adjust EGR actuation for only hwy type of driving. (I've played with this while tuning OBD 2 cars)

All in all I've decided to keep EGR on my N.A. cars. I just run a cooler t-stat which helps make more power more so than just eliminating the EGR. On cars with positive displacement blowers I usually eliminate them because of the carbon recirculation issue.

Was there a noticeable change in mpg? I think it helps clean up the engine bay a lot. Its not a Prius, but then again I dont want to fill it up every day lol

I get 22 mpg with the EGR deleted.
