EGR problems

93GTDIN · 06-27-2002, 06:32 PM

My EGR stuff isn't fitting to well up to my intake because I have a kirbain billet fuel pressure regulator. The EGR plate comes about 1/8th of an inch from being flush to the intake. How can I remedy this problem? Can I just leave off the EGR plate altogether? Will I lose driveability, gas mileage? Once again this is on a TFS street intake, no emissions.

You will lose your gas mileage if you leave the EGR spacer off. Not to mention the problem of the EGR passage in the intake(if there is one) not being plugged off and could cause a leak down the road.
Not sure if they make one for TFS intake but you could purchase an intake spacer which should help you out.

does the EGR system work within the head? I ask this because I am running no cats and therefore no smog. I always thought the two were related. I really want to get this motor running tonight, so would it cause any problems if I left off the spacer until I figured out how to rig it up? If so, what do I do with those two water lines that plug into the EGR spacer?
