egr removal
I am about to start removing the EGR on my 92 and I'm not exactly sure what I'm supposed to do with This t port that goes into the side of the manifold on the driver side if someone could let me know if I'm just to block this off or leave it open or what it is even.http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h6...ps1ergxoqp.jpg

First, EGR only helps improve mileage and does not operate under load such as WOT. Therefore, no performance increase will be gained and only a loss of mileage will occur. Removal for headers would be understood. The vacuum hose runs to the EGR solenoid and may be blocked of and plugged.

Headers going on this weekend. Just removing easy stuff now. So that t port that I'm removing will leave a nipple coming off the intake open, what is to be done with that nipple leave IT open or block it off somehow

So leave it even though my chip I have to be installed is tuned for it not being there? I've removed the egr on 3 separate lt1 cars when I installed headers. Ive never had issues, not doubting you guys, just saying my history with it.

The PROM will do everything in the ECM. Your 'smog stuff' stays in place to look good and give that "stock appearance"...

The headers would have to be prepped for EGR to provide exhaust gases to the intake port. Without this just leave the EGR delete, and hope the programmer did it right. it takes more than just unchecking the diagnostics box. the EGR operation must be turned off.

Everything associated with it including the solenoid. My experience is with 1995's but I take off everything. Cleans up the engine real well. I just get blanking plates for the EGR and the feed tube, remove everything and plug all the vacuum holes. Bryan at PCMforless does the rest.
