blocking off EGR

[sprucegagt]

you dont say... well what if I put turbo air in my tires? thats got to be good for a few micro-horse power!?!
DAMN MAN... i was being sarcastic!!!

I love reading about all the shit you guys are doing, im just in no position yet to partake in the fun.... anyways, im still gonna try the turbo air.. and maybe some Silverstar headlights and a GINORMUS wing.

Don't forget to put a "Type R" sticker to the PCM. It adds mad tyte HP!!!!!

JMo60 how did you disable it you have a 94... Did you do a swap to OBDII so you could shut off the DTC?

[JMo60]

actually it isnt disabled in the pcm, im still obd 1.5.. it is removed with a home made block-off plate. As long as you dont really get into it while cruising you dont get a check engine light.. hopefully i will go obd 2 and fix that deal

[IanSzgatti]

good luck with that. i wasnt lookin to be a jerk, i just wanted to help you out so that you didnt waste your time doing something that might not be what your lookin for

i hear ya bro... im smilin, no worries

[IsaacHayes]

Yeah with your mods (camed and header'ed 3400) you'd gain some good power being able to tune. The damn SES light I can't stand and it's so bright compared to my gauges (I keep them dimmed down on the 2nd to last setting) that I made an EGR adapter to keep the computer happy. Other wise the whole EGR and tube would be gone to free up room.

The entire EGR set-up on my 3500 UIM has been welded shut. Gone! Nadda!

No light, no adverse effects.

FWIW

I needed the EGR port on my 3.1 for another reason so I too deleted the EGR system completely. Didn't notice any change in running operation. However, it does make it easier to get at a few things down in that nook.

Damn you older OBD1 cars!! Wait... you probably have it disabled in the chip anyways Yeah it would make a great vacuum port. My 3500 plenum with a 1/8" or 1/4" aluminum plate bolted up and drilled and tapped would provide such a source.

Nah I have all my vacuum ports situated out... I not tellin.

[JMo60]

id love tuning abilities. some fine day ill swap to obd 2... right now im trying to rough compensate with a AFPR

[IsaacHayes]

Do you data log your 3400 to see how well that AFPR is helping?
If you have an ALDL cable I have the goods to data log lot's of crap on the 94-95 3x00 cars. More than anyone else that I know as of right now.

[JMo60]

really, i have a cable for a tech 2. Will that work? im a bit interested.. im still lookin at getting a wideband

im doing my front shocks right now, i had our supplier throw in a type R sticker and also a type S, this things gonna go like a raped ape

[z34phoenix]

haha....

i pulled my EGR also... but yeah there is not gain... just that everything is cleaner, and when i need to remove the intake manifold it is much easyer now!

It may take longer for my engine to warm up now with no EGR... but that is about it... can't really tell at all.
