Egr Valvu

[FuntimePhil]

Hiya Guys, anybody have any info on how to block off the EGR Valve on our motors? I heard they do this on some cars to allow cleaner air to the engine and increase BHP. Is this possible on ours?

i didn't think is200's had exhuast gas recirculation valves, i thought you only got those on diesels.

i could be wrong mind.

maybe, i know there normally on diesels, but my mate has Mondeo ST200 and he has one so just thought it might.

I thinks its something which is fitted to alot of newer cars to get emissions down.

you mostly find egr valves on diesels, not many if any new petrols come with egr valves now most petrol engines run very clean so no need for the egr valve.

the st24 i got has an egr valve as well, its definately petrol but is an S reg, we didn't block it off fully just got a bit of pipe with a lug inside it with a hole the size of a pen to reduce the flow to stop the moosing problems that the v6 engine suffered with. hope this helps.

as i said new petrols. ford try'd egr on most of their petrols rs200 st24 st200 etc and then stopped using it just as fast too many problems.
