Egr Valve And Passage.

[benny f gsi,n it]

Hey what have people done with their egr valves i have been told to block mine off by inserting a peice of threaded bar into the head where the egr passage is and block the valve off?

yes this is as i did when fitting win 40's to a nova gsi. best way is to get abolt and screw it in till it goes tight the carefully cut thehead off with out damaging the cylinder head

[benny f gsi,n it]

ok then make a plate up to cover the egr valve?
does it affect normal injection and what are the benifits?

[craig green]

I blanked mine with a peice of alloy plate cut to shape over the port on the outside of the inlet manifold. Was fine.

This is E16SE engines yes?

[benny f gsi,n it]

yer e16se, you just replaced the valve with a cover and not blockin off the egr port in the cylinder head?

[Adam]

If your using the standard inlet yeah.
Just put a plate over the Egr valve hole.

I used 5mm Alloy to block mine iirc.

yer e16se, you just replaced the valve with a cover and not blockin off the egr port in the cylinder head?

Yes.

[benny f gsi,n it]

ok so need to actually block the main port in the cylinder head just block the valve off?

[Adam]

JUST block the valve if your using the standard inlet manifold.

[craig green]

Or leave it. You will gain nothing from removing it.

[benny f gsi,n it]

i think i will ask my head tuners to block the passage and i shall make a plate to cover the valve.
Cheers

[Adam]

If your using the standard inlet theres no need to block the head as the inlet still has a hole for it.
Just blocked the Valve holes.

ok cool
