Egr issues

Hi I’m new here, I have a 95 bronco I’ve had for almost 3 years now, I’m planning on doing a full exhaust on it at some point and would like to put long tubes on it because why not, only issue with that is that I can’t find a pair of headers with an egr port unless I run shorties. So I figured I’d delete the egr and all the smog stuff and clean up the engine bay. Now the thing is is that I have the newer style egr with the 2 ports and the little computer on it so I know it’s not as simple as the couple resistors and the dummy plug with the block off plate. It’s a little more complicated, only 3 options I’ve found so far is running the shorties and egr, seeing about maybe running an old fox body tuner or something, and or running a Holley terminator system and getting rid of the eec4 in general and going stand alone. Any advise would be greatly appreciated because I’d love to breath some new life into this truck.

truck in question:




Thanks
-Jake

Do you have power and budget goals? Or just a case of clearly you want headers, heads and a cam at least?

I had to put a new engine in this truck due to the valve seats failing, I’ve got a cam picked out and am looking on marketplace for a used set of heads either aluminum or some old school performance heads. But for now I want to do things that I can easily transfer over to the new motor. Like exhaust and possibly intake.

You could get away with an Aces ot Fitech. A sniper2. If you're keeping it streetable. My personal preference would be to select the cam for sound I like. Quality rockers. Nice valve covers and a quality intake manifold. But so often during a project a motor seems to pop up for sale. I hear bad things a out flotek heads. But good things about Performance World heads. Those are pretty affordable. I would just forget about using the modern style plenum. They're too spendy. Unless you're a really good welder. And put a GM throttle body on a stock plenum and you run a mega squirt.
plus a 14" air cleaner makes the engine bay look really good. Your exhaust options are limited. I might have a part number for exhaust.

These are for my 92 5.8w. They might fit yours also. That's CDN dollars

Don't you have smog tests to pass?
Sounds like your truck is OBD2 so there will be some custom work needed to get what you want. But there may ne more options for tuning.
This exhaust problem is not hard to overcome, one option is to simply buy any headers that fit this body style and have an EGR bung welded on it, then plug in the factory tube and you are good to go. Have O2 sensor bungs welded in at the same time.

1995 F150/Bronco with factory MAF use DPFE EGR feedback even though the computer is based on OBD-I hardware and programming. Most common programming catch code is BIO0. I believe they also have dual O2 sensors and a Vapor Management Valve (VMV) instead of the older CANP setup.
