GeneralDisorder Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 EGR, besides it's smog benefits, prevents the exhaust valves and seats from being pitted and burned due to excessive exhaust temps. This happens over 10's or 100's of thousands of miles so no immediate effect will be noticed by disabling it. There is, however, no reason at all to disable it's function - it helps keep the air we breathe cleaner, and has positive effects on the life of your engine - it does all that without robbing any power at all, and is both extremely easy to maintain and simple in design. You should do a little research before messing around with your engine bay. If you want to simplify it's vacuum routing supply it with ported vacuum and be done with it. It's also important to note that blocking it off with a plate serves no purpose as the valve is closed without vacuum pressure to open it. Thus simply removing the line to the vacuum actuator would have been sufficient to disable it. Plating over the port is just extra uneccesary work - but you would have known that had you done your research GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
