Jarrod90p Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I have a 90 pathfinder and I need a new egr tube bad! What do I do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefarious Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I just go to the junkyard and pull one. Bring a torch with you to heat up the 24 mm (I think) flare nut that holds the tube to the egr and also heat up where the tube threads into the exhaust manifold and then use the 24 mm (I think) to crank it out as well. It takes some torque but it's not too bad of a job. Does yours have a hole or tear? Why does it need replacing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarrod90p Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 I put headers on and straight piped it and really just want the huge noise to go away. I won't have to do emissions ever again will I need it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefarious Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 You can plug it if u want. I ran without egr for a while and i didn't notice anything different at all except the truck stinks more when it runs. You may lose a little mpg as well if you don't have it tuned but results seem to vary on that one. I run headers as well though and run the egr now. It's not an overly difficult jo to swap it in.

Precise1 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 No emissions testing in Seattle? B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarrod90p Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 There is but I'm ping to get a waiver to exempt myself from the final emissions test. In Washington if your car is 25 years old you don't have to do it anymore so I'm going to get a waiver for the last emissions test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Ahh, they had that law here as well, and I bought a 1978 VW thinking I would only have to smog it once, then they froze the cut off date to 1975 or earlier so I'm screwed. Hope it works out for you... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarrod90p Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 The company I ordered the part from now has to order it from Nissan so it's looking like I won't be able to find a new egr tube I'm hoping for the best. I'm going to look into a junk yard solution when I have time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefarious Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Junk yard is the way to go man. They don't typically go bad so get one for cheap at the scrapper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkorahil Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 That tube was used on the WD21 with V6 engine from production dates 08/89-06/94 both Fed and Cali emissions. After 06/94 the part numbers changed and split to seperate Fed and Cali versions It was also used on the D21 with V6 from production dates 08/89-06/94 both Fed and Cali emissions and the D21U from 06/94-12/94 Federal emission.

ejin4499 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 just put a bolt in the egr for now. Ran mine like that just fine no loss is power or mileage for a couple months as a daily driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarrod90p Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 What size bolt did you use because I can't find one anywhere that fits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefarious Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 You can order them from nissan. Can't remember the size but there is a plug in the manual transmissions that fits perfectly. I had a scrap 240sx transmission that i stole the plug from and it worked fine when i had my egr blocked. You could use a caliper and a thread reference gauge to figure out the size pretty easily..
