Post subject: | EGR Delete options |
I've been following along for a while but finally decided to do a EGR Delete, but i'm not sure where to start. From what I've read, the Weeks Kits (stage 1&2) are no longer available from our normal sources. I do see one listed here, but I'm not sure if it is a legit site: https://www.egrdeletehome.com/products/ ... search_1.1 Has anyone tried ordering one of these? Alternatively, can I simply use a EGR Delete tune to disable the EGR and just leave the EGR hardware on the machine (lazy option)? |

No tune can completely disable an EGR valve if it is leaking by internally. A tune can disable it electrically, but to ensure total disablement you must ether totally remove the EGR & FCV, EGR cooler, and associated hoses and piping, (best) or install a block off plate between the EGR valve and the exhaust feed line to the EGR valve and then remove the butterfly plate out of the FCV to ensure it does not hang partly closed limiting boost flow into the intake manifold. If you simply install a block off plate and remove the butterfly plate out of the FCV, you can drive the vehicle forever like this, it will only set an occasional DTC P code of P0101. If you want to disable the EGR electrically, simply unplug the MAF sensor and drive it; without input from the MAF sensor, the ECM will not operate the EGR or FCV but will set a P code for the MAF sensor being unplugged. But if the EGR valve is leaking by or the FCV is hanging partly closed, you still have a problem.

Hi all, so the egrdeletehome kit is more complete as it already has the egr block-off plate ? thank you Giacomo |

Thanks WW Diesel for the link. It's nice to see that these are still available. I'll probably go with the one you mentioned being that it's a bit cheaper and probably a more reputable source. |

WWDiesel, Do you know if the emissions tests would fail after installing the kit you linked to? I'm unfortunately located in NY. I'm not sure of the NY requirements, but i don't imagine them being too lenient. |

You do not have to remove the EGR valve completely to make sure it is shut down 100% of the time and not able to transfer exhaust back through the engine intake. Keep the EGR valve in place and remove the tube that runs from the exhaust manifold to the EGR valve; with this tube removed it is now impossible for exhaust to be re-routed back through the engine. Plug the exhaust manifold and install a 1 way check valve that opens up around 35 PSI in the EGR valve so that you get all the boost the turbocharger can produce, but will blow open if there is any turbocharger surging. As WWDiesel stated, you can remove the butterfly valve out of the Flow Control Valve, (FCV), assembly and there is no possible way for an inspector to see that it is not there. This eliminates any problems the FCV can cause, but having the assembly still in place makes it perfectly legitimate. Modifications done this way will make it very difficult for an emissions inspector to see that there is anything wrong with your engine because the only thing that is removed that can be seen is a small tube that runs from under the exhaust manifold, behind the engine and into the back of the EGR valve. This modification will also maintain the ability of the EGR valve to act as a turbo-blow off valve. Green Diesel Engineering discovered this secondary function of the EGR valve when doing research on engine tunes for the CRD engine. |

WWDiesel: Your quote: "An emissions inspector could easily spot the EGR exhaust feed tube being completely removed/missing." Do they hoist the vehicle up and look from underneath? I made the comment because I can not easily see this pipe looking from the top down. |

Excellent! I am going to borrow your excellent picture! |
