Ive been searching around trying to find the pros and cons of removing the EGR system from the 7MGTE but I have had no luck so far in finding any info on it. I dont want to go ahead and add this mod to my list, just incase theres something I should have to look out for or worry about.

Thanks guys,
Chris

its not worth it on a stock usdm ecu. you can give yourself a bhg and your not going to gain a thing.

Perfect, thanks hyyman. I knew there had to be some kind of con behind the removal of it. Although, my 7M is not stock. The head been milled, block has been decked, arp head studs w/ hks hg.

it leans out at cruise and going up hills since the ecu thinks that its there and calculates the air/fuel ratio including the unburnt fuels from the egr. which will cause damage.

If you had a JDM ECU you would be okay. You have to remember that by taking off the egr the temperatures in the combustion chamber with rise. Also the chances of detnation will rise.

No use in doing it. Also if you want to clean up your engine bay to the point where there is nothing I would hope you have a stand alone system.

That was one of my reasonings for removing the EGR was to do some bay clean up. Its deff not worth it for what I have. I will go stand alone eventually but not on this car. Then I can do major clean up :biglaugh:

You can't say that you actually searched, and found nothing on this. The search does not recognize 3 letter words, so type it like this EGR*. The * is seen as a letter.

I actually did search for an fyi so dont be hatin. But you know it would have helped if I knew to put an astrix after a 3 letter word? Thanks for lettin me know.
