Aight, So I have been researching the EGR valve removals and have seen that many people have said that you will and that you wont get a cel if you remove the EGR and I think I have figured out when you will and when you wont get a cel. With that being said, I have decided that I want to block off my EGR valve and just leave everything pluged in like it normally would be to avoid the cel.

My reason for wanting to block off the EGR Valve is because I think that my valve could be stuck open or disfunctioning in some way. The reason I think this is because if I am trying to go up a hill and I give the car gas...after about 10 seconds of giving it steady gas, the CEL will come on.

My question is: Which block off plate is the best one in order for me to still be about to mount the EGR back into the factory spot.

I saw some on CP Motorsports and also on KMS.

Just wanted to know if I might be on the right track as to finding out if the EGR is the reason I am throwing a code or not. Even if this isnt the problem, I would still like to block the EGR off. So any input is needed!!!

Thanks
Anthony

 

yo, Im doing mine today and its going quite smoothly. If you get the KMS like I did you wont be able to put the valve back on over it. Its like really thick. You could always make a plate out of thin aluminum kinda like the guy before me did.

hope that helps

 

thanks for your help...i kinda figured that i wouldnt be about to use the KMS one...but i dont know about making a "custom" block off plate.

 

i was thinking about just taking the top of the sensor off and just bolt it somewhere out of sight...using the kms bfp

 

yea i was also wondering if that would work

see i thought about that too..but i havent looked that much into it...i just recently thought abotu doing this.

 

Mines blocked of with the kms block off plate its high quality. Anyways the easiest way is to run a po6 or p28 with h22 basemaps that way there is no egr valve or knock.

 

why spend a bunch of money on an ECU right now, then have it basemapped to the H22 just to block off the EGR? I can simply put a plate there and leave everything plugged up...and so far everything that i have read seems taht i can do just what i want and it should be fine. i just need to find a thin enough plate i am assuming.

also to get the EGR valve off, is it easiest to remover the Valve Cover?

 

no you dont need to take the vc off. the hardest part is clearing the wide top. I just used a U-joint and a 10mm socket on a 1/4 drive ant they loosened easily

 

i had one bolt off, but the one that was closet to the valve cover is a B!tch!!!

lol

 

Do you have a picture of the tool u used?

I tried removing the bolts but with no luck

i hav a cel from my egr valve too, and i was wondering if i can get rid of it by using that block off plate too?

i hav a 5th gen prelude SH.

 

I recently finished my H22 swap in my 4th gen. I blocked off EGR with the KMS plate. Its like $27 shipped. I am running a p06 converted to p28 specs and tuned on Crome by John Cui himself. p06's go for like $40. Chipping with a H22 basemap is like 75 bucks and a "street tune" is like 120-150 bucks around here. Not too expensive. Tuning costs the most. No CEL either.

 

so does that mean i need to convert to obd1 to be able to use the blocking plate without a cel?

 

yes.

or youll get a egr flow cell.


Im looking for some parts for the egr. the solenoid thing. if anyopne has an extra please let me know.

 

I have the KMS blocking plate, when blocking the EGR, do I get a warning light, because the conector isn't used? Or isn't that a problem?

Someone?

 

typeSH714, If you go to Obd1 or SH will not work any more.
