I and all mechanic buddies have been removing EGRs since they were invented and got paid to remove them. Now with the strict emission tests in certain areas you have to be able to reprogram your ECM to turn all the crap off, and back on before the next emission test. Allot of guys have 2 chips and just plug the stock one in before testing, and then swap back after the test. My 1999 7.4L/454 cubic inch Suburban 4x4 LT sold originally in CA. has 4 oxygen sensors, two in front of the cats, and two behind the cats, a huge air pump pumping fresh cold clean air into both sides of the exhaust manifolds, and an EGR valve from hell with huge pipes pumping hot exhaust into the intake manifold, and allot of other emission equipment garbage filling the engine compartment. With everything turned off except for the crank trigger, intake vacuum sensor, manifold air flow sensor, and distributor module the truck is brutal fast and smooth and runs cooler. My gas millage went way up, and I mean way up!! I am saving huge money on fuel costs. I turned off the two rear oxygen sensors also and just use the two front ones so the ECM can still adjust the fuel/air mixture correctly. I moved the truck to my ranch in Mexico and physically removed everything it didn't need to run including all the cats, and now I can finally see the beautiful engine. What a scam pumping fresh air into the exhaust manifolds. They say it's so the unburnt fuel will burn off before exiting the tail pipes, find this real hard to believe? I have a stock 1999 454/7.4 carbureted motorhome without any pollution stuff on it, and it came that way when new. I tested the emissions on it, and it has cleaner exhaust than my Suburban with all emission stuff turned on and running. It's funny, when I imported my Suburban to Mexico I found out it was imported to the USA when new/built in Mexico to California stiff emission regulations. I bought my motorhome in AZ. and drove it to my home in CA. and CA. would not issue me CA. plates or title. They told me I had to remove it from the State or spend thousands of dollars installing CA. approved pollution devices to bring the engine up to there emission standards. What's funny is the RV/motorhome was built in CA. originally but sold new in another state that didn't require pollution devices so none were installed on the RVs sold out of state. CA. now has surprise road side emission tests to catch the guys who have reprogramed there cars and trucks. And there always on a road where you can't turn around and run. Last one I saw had 9 tow trucks lined up and 6 cars waiting to be towed off. They had 2 guys handcuffed. In CA. you are not allowed to sell lawnmowers, weed eaters, etc. that don't conform to CA. emission standard, and now I hear they are outlawing 2 stroke jet skis, and 2 stroke out board motors for boats.

[@Gowieee]

EGR lowers combustion temps through heat absorption and lowering of oxygen content thus reduces NOx emissions. Actually, they aren’t really an issue but when mixed with PCV gases you get fouling. Fitting a oil separator (catch can) will solve these issues.

[@innovruptly1769]

The Duratorq 2.2 used on the 2008 Freelander 2 has a crankcase ventilation oil separator. This is seldom mentioned, the consequence is that some owners might be tempted to install a catch can. At 120000km the egr on the LR2 2008 had no oily residue only moderate carbon deposits on the surfaces. The egr cooler however has failed (white smoke, no power) which needed replacing. I observed that the design of the new egr cooler differs from the factory fitted egr cooler, the single large air port with it's complement of smaller ports has been replaced with smaller ports ie. 24S+1L is now 32S+0L. This could have an impact on factory tuning due to restricted airflow and altered cooling efficacy.

[@mechanoid5739]

The whole point of EGR is to reduce the combustion temperature by limiting the amount of oxygen entering the engine. This will reduce the amount of NOx,(Nitrogen Oxide) which will otherwise be produced at high combustion temperatures caused by a chemical reaction between the oxygen and nitrogen. The downside as mentioned is a slight reduction of power produced.

[@dakilangmananabas5276]

It didnt add power instead reducing it. Research further

[@NicholasGeorge-cg3cf]

It's not just about the loss of power EGR causes it is also about the increase in fuel consumption , the extra contamination of the oil and the shorter engine life from the grinding effect of the carbon particles , on the cylinder walls.

[@RC-Heli835]

Hey Lad, you didn't mention how do we get the check engine light to go off? If I just unhook and plug the vacum line to my EGR valve it won't open and let the crap pass through correct? But the engine light will come on to let it be known that the EGR / DPFE is not functioning properly. How do I get the check engine light to go off though? I have an apparently bad DPFE Sensor as it only registers .244 MV at idle and barely moves from there as the EGR valve comes on when I apply vacum to it manually.

[@vPerformance]

That's why the Remap is needed - for the check engine light

[@vPerformance]

It'll be the remap. Diesels can be remapped by simply chucking in more fuel than the engine can possibly burn, which results in unburnt fuel as black smoke. Even standard cars smoke but after a remap it's always worse. Look up Rolling Coal on youtube.

All engines have wear when started cold, and yes the EGR helps with those first few minutes of warming up. The engine also gets wear from having crappy dirty soot passed into the engine though.

What happens in most cars, is the air is replaced with fresh air instead. In short - engine wants 1000mg of air - it could take 500mg of EGR and 500mg of fresh. It still gets the air it measures, but you'll get more power from 1000mg of fresh unburnt air.

Why do you want more cold air to produce more power at a part throttle i.e a condition when you want less power? How can deleting EGR give more power if at max throttle when the EGR would be fully closed anyway? To increase mpg with egr delete you need to also adjust the wastegate as it is partaily closed to drive the EGR flow. This gives a back pressure penalty.

Anywhere fuel is being burnt, mixing with cold air produces a more complete burn and more torque.

what about DPF ? is it a huge performance/efficiency breaker if we let it ? I'm saying that because it's illegal to delete a DPF and it can be spotted (black fums) but remap delete EGR actullay can't be detected easly.

The DPF burns off by firing extra diesel into it, so definitely bad for efficiency!

Hello vPerformance,i wanted to ask does a egr need to be mechanicly deleted or you can just disable it with software and it is done?

[@vPerformance]

On modern cars you can just delete with software

Is remapping also the fix for codes created after an EGR is removed? I had the EGR and EGR cooler removed from my wife's 06 Jetta TDI last year. The car now needs state inspection, and the same shop who installed the delete kit is now saying the car is throwing four codes associated with the EGR. I haven't talked to them directly, yet; I will in the morning, but the message via my wife is they're saying it needs someone to write code. I've worked on cars for 50 years, but not as a pro for 30 years. Even to me, 'writing code' seems a bit 'off'. Any clues to help me deal with these guys would be great.

The ECU requests and measures gas flowing through the EGR - if it's blocked when it requests, it throws an error. Here in the UK if it throws an engine management light that's a fail, but otherwise it's just an "advisory". EGR adjustment is just one of the things that can be changed by a remap.

Great video bud , just what I was looking for , I've been thinking about getting my EGR deleted so phoned a guy today to price it up , he told me the car would have to do the dpf as well because the cooler engine temperatures will be too cool to make the dpf regenerate , is this true I thought a better combustion would make the engine hotter

[@fireinureeyes]

i think the dpf has to go because it gets clogged up fast without an egr, i could be wrong but thats what i gather

[@vivekkumar-ih6in]

nice work, surely worth a try...

[@vPerformance]

+vivek kumar I'll try anything twice.

I'm wondering if I do that plug at the EGR valve, does the check engine light will come up? I own a 2003 Audi A4 2.5 TDI.

[@AutomotivEivind]

+Rása Péter I don't think so. Atleast my 1.9 PD130 (EDC15P) doesn't care. My mate has got the '09 A4 2.0 CR140, and he sometimes get the CEL.

[@akhataybeh]

Which software is this and which hardware set up do you use to connect to the car ? Thanks in advance :)
