EGR Delete Plate

[capri debris]

quick question, what good would it do to delete the coolant hoses and EGR?

(noob here)

Deleting the EGR is common when removing all the smog crap (pump, check valves & hoses, solenoids, vacuum lines, pipe in back of the heads, etc.) Deleting the small water lines is just to clean up the engine bay and remove the chance of a water leak if the TB gasket ever fails. Some say the water supply to the spacer is to help cool it down in the summer and some say it's to keep the TB from icing up in the winter... I think it's for both. But I don't have them hooked up in my car because it's never driven in the winter and the cooling effect can't be too great because the temp of the coolant is about 190*.

And here is a good close up pic like I promised.

hmm, I see. makes sense. Would it be a smart idea if I DO drive it in the winter?

You live in TX, I dont think you will have a problem.

They are for the icing problem though. There shouldnt be a problem unless you drive in extreme conditions with it, which most of us Fox owners dont do anyways.

what did he/you do for the bracket for the tb cable that is mounted on the egr block? is there a piece there for a tap or bolt to go through?

nevermind, i just scrolled back up and looked at the other pic. is that threaded or for a bolt???

all i did was blocked off the back of the egr, looks cheap tho. i would love to have one of those deletes tho.

Still working on it, but getting close. I'll let everyone know when they can place an order. The only info you need to give is what bore size you want.

I just encountered a similiar problem several weeks ago. It all started because I upgraded throttle bodies and found the BBK Throttle Body spacer created a horrible whistle. BBK blamed the throttle body and Accufab blamed BBK. In the end I bought a 3/8 Steeda EGR delete plate, but encountered the throttle cable hitting the fuel pressure regulator and the coolant pipes. I was hoping for the smaller spacer because my Anderson power pipe rubs on the shock tower. In the end, I purchased one of these on Ebay.

It helped provide the clearance for the power pipe while making the throttle linkage correct. It also got rid of the annoying whistle- (Sorry BBK- but it was your product). What I liked is that it includes all the bolts and gaskets- so it was a quick deal. I also used the trick resistor thing he has and it saved me some money.

I think you will be able to get them soon from

I hope this helps for anyone who wants to get their ride back up going after being disappointed by the smaller spacer.

As far as the EGR spacer refab I"ll pu the word out!

By telling your car your EGR is working, it pulls fuel and timing out at part throttle expecting inert EGR gases to be present. Since the EGR is not functional however, combustible air will be present in it's place and you will run lean at part throttle cruising.

This device prevents the engine from re-burning exhaust gases. Hence, the engine is always burning fresh fuel and air, thus making more power. It really doesn't have any adverse effects on the motor, it actually helps by not allowing burned exhaust gasses back into the motor.

The Ebay page has it wrong. At idle and WOT, the EGR is non-operative, so you will make the same HP with an EGR than you would without an EGR. Allowing burned gases into the motor at crusing speed is basically the same as modern cylinder deactivation. By pumping inert gas in, you reduce the combustion chamber size requiring less fuel to burn at cruising rpm. Honestly, there is very little benefit to removing the EGR other than cleaning up the bay which i can understand. And for those worried about hot EGR gases....have you felt your engine after driving around for a couple hours?? Deleting the EGR to reduce heat is not going to make a difference.

If you want to ditch your EGR, block the ports off at the cylinder heads and get a tune or chip to remove the function...otherwise you are better off leaving the CEL light on so that the computer can avoid activating the system on it's own and you won't go lean.

If you car is a weekend car or fun toy then by all means go ahead and delete it. But if it's your daily driver, then you might want to reconsider removing it. If anything you might want t omake sure it's working correctly and efficiently.
