Buy a block-off kit. Most vendors and site sponsors carry them. Then, remove the EGR tube from the exhaust manifold to intake manifold and block it off. Remove the EGR valve, solenoid, and vacuum line and plug the fitting on the intake manifold with a vacuum cap. Have the PCM reprogrammed to clear the EGR operation and you're done.

 

what exactly does this do for my engine

Probably gets you slightly worse mileage in cruise conditions and possibly worse nox emissions. On the other hand, it cleans up the engine compartment and makes it easier to work on.

 

I deleted my EGR for weight savings and to clean up the engine bay. Havent heard of any effect to engine performance.

If the car needs to pass emissions you should probably keep it.

 

im not worried about emissions. do i have to do any specific new tuning after i install the block off kit?

im already tripping a code that my egr valve is bad.

There's your answer right there. If you disconnect the egr on an obd2 car you WILL trigger a code/check engine light. The only way around this is to tune it out.

By he way, egr doesn't hurt performance at all.....just fixing it may be cheaper.

 

thanks guys new to the lt1 scene just want my z to run right
