A properly operating EGR system won't take HPs from these engines, as they were designed with the EGR. It is there for one purpose, to lower the combustion temperature. Without it, you will actually raise your ENGINE operating temps.
Many people think it dilutes your fuel mixture, but this is not true. The fuel mixture/ratio (normal ones, without after-market systems added) is controlled by the computer, which relies heavily on the 02 sensor input. What's that you say, you don't believe what this old tune-up & smog man is saying??? OK...so go drive your car from 0-60mph real fast, then stop and open the hood. Reach in there and unplug the vacuum hose that goes right to the EGR valve, and stick a golf tee in the hose. Now the EGR won't come on at all. Go drive 0-60mph real fast, and see how you won't feel, see, hear, smell, taste, (or get), any faster. Last edited by mrnickleye; 11-05-2005 at 04:23 AM. |
