adamzan Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 My egr did not work for several years on my old truck. I noticed no difference. Other than it always passed the emissions test, barely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefarious Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 (edited) Pros... more engine bay space and less carbon buildup in the intake manifold (virtually none if you run a catch can on your Pcv valve as well). Cons slightly higher combustion temperatures due to the lowering of inert gases in the combustion air charge and maybe a slight decrease in fuel consumption due to a small amount of fuel being sent through the engine to re burn.

Elmo Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Well, here's a good explanation of the egr operation in our engines: http://www.tuneruniversity.com/blog/2012/05/dont-block-or-remove-the-egr-valve-its-saving-you-money/ The guy does a far better job explaining how it effects the engine than I could. Note that he is in agreement with everyone else I've read with expert engine tuning knowledge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
