Has anyone removed there EGR valve cause I did and the check engine light poped up. I took it out and put a block off plate but know Im starting to wonder if the check engine light is on would it pull timming or Ignition of the car. I have a direct port kit on the car but have had alot of problems with it it just runs too rich. NOS says to put a 24 jet on the nos and a 20 on the fuel Im up to a 28 on the nos and down to a 14 on the fuel and the car is 10.0 AFR on the dyno and with a 150 shot I only dynoed 396 rwhp on juice and 280 on motor.
Removed EGR Valve
- Thread starter NosNsx
- Start date
If the check engine light is on, the car isn't gonna run at 100% anyway. Why would you want to run without the EGR anyway? Just curious.

Because the EGR just recycles unused gas back into the intake rather then just having clean air.
nosnsx,
what kit are you running? Nitrous oxide? Zex? Nitrous Xpress? which one??? is it custom made piping or it's a kit? thanks!

also what do u run on the 1/4 with NOS?
Well its a nos sportsman fogger kit its a direct port set up that my friend built made for me. I ran a 12.2 but with a slipping clutch and running extrememly rich.
what was your trap speed?
You need to cap off the line running to the throttle body, and reset your ECU.
I don't know why you would want to cap the EGR vent hole though.
I've used that line as a breather for the front cylinder bank.

Chris I didnt understand what your trying to tell me should I put the EGR Valve back does the check engine light affect the car I dont think it does because the car is obd1. What do you exactly mean by disconnecting the hose to the throttle body what will that do.
Remember though, if too much unburned fuel is passed through the cats, (depending on if you have them or not), you can run the risk of harming the cats. The unburned fuel also helps to cool the tops of the pistons. So you have to wonder if it's really worth it or not.
