Hey, I'm doing a on a egr deleteon a 01 4v what vacum lines can I do away with?
Thanks Brian

EGR delete ?

why do people still waste their time performing useless mods like deleting the EGR and PCV systems. Deleting the EGR system will not increase performance and may even result in detonation. :burn:

I was wondering the same thing, besides cleaning up the engine bay slightly whats the point in doing this?
To me why create another source for a potential problem

your egr is only operating while cruising, light load situations. deleting will not lean your car out. your gas mileage will get worse. you'll be more prone to detonation because of higher operating temp (cruising). but it will not lean your car out. unless of course you forgot to plug the vacuum hose feeding it

I went with the HP twin turbo and u have to do it the delete.

Yea I know, but u know what they say people fear what they dont know.

The EGR system injects an inert gas into the intake during light load cruise mode to control NOX emissions. The Inert gas cools down the combustion chamber and also helps control detonation. The EGR system does not operate at idle or wide open throttle so knowing all this, it is foolish and a waste of time to delete it since no performance gain will be realized by doing so.poopy01 said:

Wow, talk about the pot calling the kettle black.:lol:flyingbrian1 said:
oke:Hey nice choice what was your tranny changed to . http://dagostinoracing.com/media/lthlpsi.wmvflyingbrian1 said:
Inert gas....LOL....so the hot exhaust gas some how cools the down the combustion chamber..........It does do two things.. 1. it replaces space that could be filled with some nice oxygen rich air... 2. reduces emissions. I dont want it to do either. Sure we are talking about very small amounts here that would more than likely make no real results, but that is what it is doing. And yes not worth the screwing around with. P.s. I cant find my the storage tank for my Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton and Xenon gases....:lol1:cobraracer46 said:

Inert Gas
The Major produts of combustion are made up of CO2 Carbon Dioxide, H20 (water vapor) N2 NITROGEN, CO Carbon monixide, and N2Ox Nitrous Oxides These NOx gases are the Bitch, they are credited with Causing acid rain with Sulfur Dioxides from the coal power plants, as well as other gases.
The NOx gases are formed at High Combustion chamber temperatures, By recirculating a % of exhaust gases ( Inert ) into the combustion chamber may increase the inlet charge temperatue slightly, this 5 % will not burn
during ignition, so that's 5 % of relativly cool gas not burning.The actual
exhaust gases ( combustion chamber temperature) with EGR are at a lower temperature than a 100 % gas-air mix. In turn producing less NOx gases.
Not to Piss in anyone's Corn Flakes that how they lower the emissions:beer:

IMO, if you dont have to remove the EGR system, keep it.....If my Watson LT had a provision to run the EGR, I would still be running it today...I did keep all the EGR stuff, just in case I ever get motivated enough to weld bungs to the headers and re-attach everything......If it was a vote I would say keep the EGR system....DA snake boy!!!!

X2, I removed mine to clean up the enigne bay. My city mpg went to crap. My hwy even took a small hit. The EGR will be going back on when I install the short runner.
damn double posts

Do you have #'s? I would really like to know if its really worth going through the trouble to hook it back up when i drop the motor back in next week.
