EGR plates... do I NEED them??
EGR plates... do I NEED them?? just like the title reads...... do I NEED to put the EGR plates on?????? Have LT's with no emssions crap, and was wondering if it needs to have them..... If not what will happen..... HP loss,????? THNX
The whole EGR system is still in the car, but it was deleted from the computer via LT1 edit...... I use the hawk as a daily driver, and it has been without the block off plate since i put the LTs in about 6 months ago......
So am i losing HP b/c of this..... or not really?????

If the EGR port in the back of the intake manifold is open you are sucking in a ton of air that isn't metered. You'll run lean and then computer will dump a ton of fuel to try and compensate for the lean condition.

I recently removed all the egr stuff from my engine except for the piece in the back since its not hurting to leave it hooked up. I dont see any difference in the way the car runs, just the 'service engine soon' lamp since I disconnected and removed the airpump from the front of the engine. I mainly did it for looks and to make a little more space. Umm... I'm not the expert but, as long as you plug whatever holes you leave and vacuum lines it should be alright.
well i got my car dynoed not too long ago, and Mike from G Force told me that my car was rich as hell..... when they let off the dyno pull, fire came out of the exhaust tips...and there was a big dip in the curve due to needing to be tuned...
