Guys what effects can cause if i buy a EGR Block off plate ????
I remember that i saw some plates to block that silly hose
that runs over the passenger valve cover...where can i get the plates for that ???? i dont remember where i saw them !!!
what's that hose function ??????
im planning to delete all of them ! thanks

Hose locations and EGR


Hose installed

AGENT 86

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

thanks but there is something missing here !
i can see 3 here :
1 - block off plate for :
- COLD START INJECTOR (I DONT WANT THAT)
- EGR - OK
- EXHAUST CROSSOVER PLATE (ARE THEY 2 ???) I SEE 1


I need only that...the complete kit looks cool
do i need the cold start block off if i put edelbrock '89 runners ?

FICINJECTORS

Calderone

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.

thanks staugur
are the 2 ends of the crossover exhaust tube identical ?
thanks

staugur

I believe so.

Calderone

thanks !

TPIS sells some too.

what's the advantage on doing this?

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

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.
