I cut them out of 1/4'' aluminum plate. Not worth the time and money to buy them. :)

Calderone 07-12-2008 11:52 PM

i just did it !!!
thanks !
i will be getting this,its a pita take off that silly hose everytime i want to take the valve cover off.-
and i dont want the EGR valve anymore since maybe its not working properly,i dont know how all of this will affect my car but i think nothing terrible since this items are being bought all the time !

any idea on what could happen with no egr and crossover hose ?
thanks

I read somewhere that you need to delete the EGR function in your
PROM....I only skimmed it since I'm stuck with mine...:(

Here's a cheap way.Cut the flanges off the old pipe and reuse with a couple of coins. The EGR valve you can just block with an aluminum plate,easy enough to fabricate.

TPIS sells some too. :yesnod:

Calderone 07-13-2008 03:39 PM

what's the advantage on doing this?

SunCr 07-14-2008 01:12 AM

Zero without something to keep your combustion temps under 1200 degrees which is what EGR does. Get above that combustion temp and it forms NOX - ok - so you're not a tree hugger - but you can also get detonation. The ECM then pulls timing and you lose performance (and maybe a mile or two per gallon - kinda of important these days). At worst, you wear out what may be an allready worn out motor. Anyway, unless you want to swap out the cam for a little more overlap - or maybe figure out how the Brits used water injection to keep their Spitfires flying - I'd fix it; it isn't that difficult to figure out. And while you're out it, spend your money on a Scanner or a cable for your laptop, which along with some free software, will give you all you need to monitor how everything is doing.

hi sammy, did mine on my 85 (only needs one plate) cleans up a lot of mess with hoses and pipes and mine had a vacuum block on the intake manifold that went too,
got my plate, which is cnc'd billet alloy for $15 off ebay.
and no codes or ses light at all :thumbs:

What happens when the dime/nickel comes loose over time?

That is half @$$'ed in my book, but hey your car, not mine. So whatever floats ones boat I suppose.

I'd get the plates cleaner look/less chance of revisiting it later.
