why get rid of EGR???

[88_GT_5_oh]

another one of these threads..... i will sum up al the thread i have seen,

small increase in fuel milage (i beleive very small, but thats just me)
no performance gains
some have deleted with no problems, other deleted with nothing but problems


as for me i got a good deal on my TB with no spacer and i didn't want to buy one so i just deleted it, my car idles fine, runs good, and isn't deleted through the computer (yet). my engine bay looks a little neater without all the vacume lines that are associated

I'd be looking to do it just to reduce clutter myself.

Do the 'check engine light' eliminators actually adjust the computer or just fool it into thinking something's working? It seems that if it's the latter, you may still have pinging problems with it. Can anyone confirm?

The eliminator I have is just a resistor that fools the computer into thinking the EGR is functioning. I think this would lead to some issues, but I did not have any problems (at least due to the EGR mods). I am pretty sure most out there function by fooling the computer. A chip on the other hand could either fool the computer with a false signal or tell the computer to disregard all EGR variables.

Right - I always thought most of the resistor tricks (or setting the sensor in a certain spot) were for the MIL only.

to do it right, one would have to turn off the EGR function in the puter itself (since the puter is doing the commanding - not the EGR commanding the puter). Right?

Right, all the resistors do is tell the computer that the egr is closed, even though it doesn't exist.

Actually, the resistors tell the computer that the egr is partially OPEN, not closed. It still results in an error code - but it's a soft code, not a hard one - the result is no check engine light. Since the computer is still pulling fuel and adding timing under light throttle/low load conditions, the potential for detonation issues still exists with the resistors. The only way to remedy that is to turn off the egr function in the ecu via chip, tweecer, etc.

Stang8URMPRT, why would it need an injector, since you said the egr valve was already used to pull fuel from the exhaust? Does the exhaust not spit out enough unburned fuel already? That must be what that wet stuff is coming out of my tailpipe in the morning, unburned fuel for the egr valve! maybe you could patent the "super gr valve", and then people could upgrade it with a 50lb msd injector so they could have a modded gr valve! then i could add nitrous to the gr valve and up my hp level even further.

i am trying to learn from you, great one!
