OK folks...

I originally blanked the EGR by using the '5p mod'....

It made a difference to the engine immediately having an effect on the acceleration response... don't know if it actually makes any power but it definately made a difference...

I used later manifolds lately, I also made a blank for the EGR from some aircraft grade aluminium sheet and also a piece of 1/16th thick rubber cut to the same shape.... fitted to the intake plenum with the screws that used to hold the EGR to the intake plenum...

At the moment Im awaiting delivery of an EGR cheater - from Poland, but the tracking says it'll be here tomorrow...

Iv cable tied the EGR away from anything that might move, only plugged in because otherwise the EML will light... hopefully the cheater is a quick plug n play job, and then I can hide all that in the engine bay somewhere....

I'm going down the later manifolds route some point in the future - soon as the guy I know who has a broken old 2.6 can get them off for me.


SAI removal, re-instatement of Air-con, and EGR removal all on the cards. Oh, and the grimiest engine bay ever getting a thorough clean!

Well the EGR cheater turned up today, but it doesn't work....

I know I bought 1 for the Z22SE and was taking a chance with it, but it doesn't work with the X25XE...

So just going to leave the EGR connected and hidden instead....

NOOO!!!!!



Someone needs to make some EGR cheaters. Cleans up the engine bay no end, perfect if you've got 2.6 manifolds etc, too. The search continues....
