I will check next time I am on flat ground. I am not sure where you are from but here in Maine flat ground is relative. We do not have any perfectly flat ground. If we did I am sure 5-7lbs of boost would be sufficient.

Dumping EGR is not the way to reduce boost. The exhaust gases used to run the turbo are in a way free power. They go into the exhaust manifolds and up to the turbo feed and drive the exhaust side fins whicj in turn builds boost on the fresh air side. If you dump any of the feed which is what the egr does you will lose boost but power and mileage suffer as well. The only way to reduce boost for mileage is to reduce the fuel which means take your foot out of it or use less power.

An example of dumping the egr gas could be like a damn that produces power. You have the water source which is the exhaust coming out of the engine. You have the turbine being turned by the water. The more water the faster the turbine spins. If you were to dig a trench around the damn to let some of the water go around the turbine, you would spin the turbine slower but at what cost? The water supply is essentially free. The problem is the consumption of the power from the turbine not how it is being turned.

 

River City Diesel has a decent looking kit at a decent pricr with pretty thorough instructions.

Shows the removal Of both coolers.

 

I'm wanting to remove both my EGR coolers & EGR valve
with a block off plate kit I have & the Intake Elbow on
eBay I'm wanting to purchase.

I'm running the Gearbox Z DPF tuner now (i love it)

They told me I could remove & unplug the EGR valve
Without a CEL or DTC in computer.

Any feedback guys ??

 

If they said EGR delete is possible with their tune then I don't see why not.

 

I certainly hope so cause another well known company steered me WRONG

on another concern BEFORE I drove 100 miles one way to do a swap

This is a big job is why I'm asking

 

I have the Livewire and it does turn the cel off for the EGR. I have no idea on other tuners.

 

Captain,
Did you leave the EGR pipe "ON" coming from the passenger
Manifold pipe & used your block off plate at the drivers side
where it bolted to the horizontal cooler ???

I'm really wanting to use my block off plate at the passenger side connection &

Remove the EGR pipe that goes up & over the turbo.

This would make less volume for the passenger manifold to have

to pressurize & also get rid of one flex joint that could

possibly leak ....

 

Hello,
I removed the complete pipe. I used the block plate but I had to drill and tap it so that I could plumb the egr back pressure sensor.

 

Thanks Cap'n
This is what I'm going to do too

I jus hope that pipe will come off & out ok ...

Any pointers ??

 

I'm 6 hrs into my EGR pipe & both coolers removal job.

Both coolers, brackets & all crap is OFF

But I CAN'T get the passenger crossover pipe out

I'm gonna cut it into in the morning I guess ....

This is a major operation

 

I cut the bottom of the pipe with a sawzall from underneath then
cut the top with a minature hand saw

Twasn't a fun job at all

I made an EBP sensor tube with a 5/16" steel line rather than

Straitening the stock one.

I used one of the swivel nuts from the old tube for the

Sensor end. I tapped the block off plate to 1/4" NPT & used a

Compression fitting.

Gotta fill er up with coolant to try it out.

I'm gonna replace the restricted intake elbow as soon as I

Save some funds

 

MIL came on with a DTC PO41D EGR Temp Sensor

So plugged the sensor back to the harness & left

It hanging ....

Super Nice Intake I found to go with my cooler removal

 

Got my delete kit on monday, hope to get it done this weekend.

 

Got my Intake from Powerstroke Connection & installed it

The MIL came on with DTC P0488 EGR throttle conrol

Anybody know what resistor to install to what wire combination ??

My Gearbox Z DPF-R programmer didn't satisfy the PCM with this Flap control motor unplugged ...
