few questions about x16xe conversion

[paddy138]

does anyone know if i can blank off the egr valve, if i can will it make any difference to the engine.
also, i will be changing the crankshaft pulley to a single v belt bulley and i noticed there is a sensor on the old one, when i change to the single v belt pulley do i cut the sensor off or what
thanks
sorry forgot to say the sensor on the pulley is like a pick up sensor something like the the workings of an abs sensor

[Welsh Dan]

That sensor on the pulley is the crank position sensor, you need that.

[paddy138]

but how will it work with single pulley

[General Baxter]

you need a V pully with the sensor bits on, 1.4sri one i think!

[paddy138]

ah crap, thats goin to be hard to find. if i was to leave it he way it is, would the pulley be hitting off the chassis leg the whole time

[Adam]

No the wide belt clears the chassis leg(just). You dont touch the crank sensor when removing the pully anyway.
You need a toothed single v pully, quite a few vauxhalls have them. Corsas etc.
Yes you can block the egr, no gain tho, just you wont get egr problems.

[paddy138]

i wil just fit it the way it is and keep a look out for one and do it at a later stage,
anyone know about the egr valve

[General Baxter]

ditch all the sensors and go carbs lol

then some cheapo managment to spark lol

[paddy138]

no sod that, keepin me eyes open looking for a mantzel or dbilias set up

[Adam]

I replied about egr above. Mines blocked with 5mm alloy plate. You have to leave the valve plugged in.

[paddy138]

thanks

[alan b]

you going to meet paddy? i mite hav a bottom pulley for you!

[craig green]

You can get new bottom pulleys from Vauxhall for about ?19 IIRC.

There was a Mantzel on ebay this week.... or was that Corsasport???

[Stuart]

would the EGR cheater as mentioned on z22se.co.uk work on the rest of the vauxhall range?

that way the ecu is happy and you can bin the valve completely

[Adam]

Should do/\
As long as they have the same egr valve.

alan b,
when and were is the meet on, the nova wont be going but, would look like a tool in a corolla van lol
