What is this? i had to remove my ps, battery, rad, etc for a rad support replacement. I am now re installing everything and i was curious what this is for. It goes behind the power steering but i am clueless to what it is for. It looks like it has some vac hoses coming off of it. Do i need it anymore? I noticed a bunch of you guys don't have yours anymore. I gutted cruise control and A/C, this is why i am asking.

The part?



Where it sits

 

thats for your egr

 

So i do have to keep it?

 

whats the egr for

 

if you dont have your egr anymore than no

exhuast gas recirculation. its for emissions

 

where is it located? I have zero emissions laws can i just gut that to?

 

your EGR valve is located on the intake manifold (left side if looking under the hood) it recirculates "some" exhaust gases back into your engine, thus "so they say" making better emissions as well as robbing power from the engine. If you have 0 emissions laws, ditch it, plug the hole in the IM and put a block off plate in place of it on the IM... Then you can remove all the other stuff you pictured.

 

where can i get a block plate. i recall someone making these for the euro r manifolds. Anybody got a small write up on how to take this off. I have a helms, what section is it under?

It dont rob power from your engine... Learn how a EGR works

 

ook well if he is wrong some right info would help rather than just saying he is wrong. im going to read the helms when i get home.

 

I think he is referring to the fact that the spent gases being inert and actually lowering the temperature on the intake charge by recirculating actually gives you horsepower, but that's just from reading a little bit! my 2 cents

 

Ok thanks for the great news guys. I contacted the guy who makes those really nice custom egr plate covers and i should have one coming in the mail very soon. I just wanted to clean the bay up even more than i have. Got most of it repainted black so it should look even better now. I will post pictures when im all done in the picture thread. thanks guys

 

basicly it lowers combustion temp therfore lowering nox emmisions

that thing is pretty important as far as emissions go. if you removed it what did you do with the rubber hoses coming from the egr on the IM?

 

doesn't it CEL turns on when you unplug the solenoid if you have stock ECM?

 

Just wondering... would removing an EGR valve improve mpg any or not? n00b question, I know... Just didn't know.
If I'm not mistaken, the EGR valve is open any time during any period that the car is not at wot, thus saving gas doesn't it?

I've heard of people removing it and getting the block off plate, what would this do?

 

you will get a cel

 

how do you remove it and not get a cel?

I still have all the hoses and parts. I am keeping them just in case.

 

bump how do you make it so when you remove the egr it doesn't throw a code?

 

get hondata

 

****. A vafc won't help will it? hmmmm is that going to make my check engine like go on?

 

Would it still throw a code if u used a block off plate and got longer screws and blocked it,but left it on and plugged in to the connector?

I think you have to get p28 ECM from civic

 

can somebody tell me if this is true ^
