EGR Question

[joe blow]

Hello,

I am getting ready to perform a full egr cooler delete from First Coast. I ordered my modified manifold with the EGR valve orifice left open "unwelded". I plan to reinstall my EGR valve and plug it in to retain the stock appearance.

My questions:

I originally planned to weld the EGR valve shut to avoid any possible opening under WOT as I've read some do. Since I am completeley removing the up-pipe that feeds the valve and installing a blocked off up-pipe, is welding it necessary?

Is there a way that the smog guys can "test" if the valve is functioning during the smog test and know that it is welded, if indeed welding it is the way I go?

Thanks

Are you running a SCT with a custom tune?

[joe blow]

Nope, according to FCDP I don't need to. I have an '04 and they said @ most I would get a CEL, but nothing else...like loss of power etc.

Everybody be careful. This guy is a tool. He has no problem bashing you on an open forum if something doesn't go rite. This guys an idiot. He just needs to get his thing together and keep moving to another forum.

Tucson Stroker,

Before you start your nonsense on a forum about stuff I have posted, you should find out the facts and premise behind my post. Stupid A$$.

welding the valve is not necessary.

[joe blow]

Awesome. If I am not mistaken, there will be no exhaust flow to the valve after the new modified up-pipe has been installed...sound correct Adam?

Thank you for your time

[Abrannan19]

You are correct, on my intake (the one you have/will have today) I had the EGR valve installed and not welded with no problems..
