i've seen some threads on how to do the block off but does anyone do an EGR delete very often? and if not why not? 96 civic with b18a/b swap

 

Isn't "block off" and "delete" the same thing ??? Remember that if your ECU doesn't have an EGR circuit in it, it will not function just because the lift sensor and/or solenoid is attached to the intake manifold. You can remove them and use a "block off" plate to close the exhaust gas passageway from the head to the intake manifold.

 

Why are you using an automatic pr4 obd0 intake manifold?

You should be using an obd2 p75 intake manifold.

 

the HX is the only engine I know of in the 96-2000 range that has an EGR port..

 

It says they have a b18a/b swap.

But yes only the hx civics have an egr in that range. Also preludes, but those are ruled out via the swap and chassis.

 

Than it is wrong about its research

 

what is a p75 obd2 manifold from? i'm not that familiar with codes, i got the engine like this and dropped it in... This is my first time figuring this sort of stuff out. it is a B18a block and intake manifold as far as i can tell. It does have an EGR right? Also what can you use to block off any excess ports?

 

Do you not know what an egr looks like? After all your searching you did you haven't seen one yet?

 

yes i know what it looks like. I thought the b18a had an egr originally in the integra but i got confused from previous comments

 

Don't you have the engine within your vicinity?

 

yes i do.

 

than it would've been easier to confirm it yourself since the motor is in your car, don't you think?

 

yep i know the EK chasis has an egr but my engine is not a D series its an LS swap. I never pulled the engine myself so it is hard to confirm that when i don't have an integra sitting in front of me for comparison

 

After reading this post, you just confirmed with me you don't know what an egr looks like. You can't even look at the engine in your civic to verify this. The engine is mounted no different when in an integra.
