JBR EGR Block Off Kits In Stock!!

[JBR]

I've not seen any increase in water temp. I also don't think a functioning EGR has any cooling ability that I've ever noticed or read about. What temps are you seeing?

Thanks,
Jamie

Installed mine a few weeks ago. My cel goes away after I clear it with my AP. But, it comes back when I shut the car off and turn it back on every time. Whats the deal?

Clearing the code is different than disabling the code with ATR and uploading the new map.

One of the functions of the EGR system is to reduce combustion chamber temps by introducing non-combustable gasses. This displaces fresh oxygen and therefore reduces overall combustion energy and subsequently temperature. However, the cooling system should be more than sufficient to handle this. Colder plugs would be helpful in reducing combustion temps to compensate for no EGR system.

The EGR system is not operational at idle or WOT; only when running at part-throttle in closed loop.

Worked like a charm Jamie... yur the shit....

Yur website could use some editing

[ScarMS3]

Ordered to go with my tig. Thanks jamie

[Monotonous ONE]

i have seen some elevated coolant temps

ive seen a tad upwards of 200 but only after idle at long stoplights...definitely no where near 215 and such

cruising on the highway ill see about 190

city is 185ish

stop and go is 180-185

wot tend to drop coolant temps pretty dramatically if it ever hits 200 or so...i would have thought the opposite

[pzr2874]

Just an idea jamie but charge a little more and include a smal tube of rtv with this.

I'll look to see if there are any tiny tubes but no promises.

[Monotonous ONE]

that rtv is cheap and easy to find at parts stores


and its useful for other shit

so dont be a fag

[pzr2874]

^ yes, I know this... dnt clutter his thread. He includes lube with his shift plate. It was just an idea. Hey, I didn't have any on hand.

[Monotonous ONE]

no...YOU dont clutter his thread you cunt

[pzr2874]

Eat rtv

[MS6FL]

Just ordered mine. THANKS JAMIE! Cant wait to get it on.

I ordered mine today. I have some noobie questions to go along with it:

I read over the sister thread about "cleaning" this area and it mentions putting the egr pipe in parts cleaner. Should I be using parts cleaner for all the areas with carbon built up (for instance the intake manifold and actualy EGR?

Basically when I install this, I want to clean everything while I am at it. I didn't really see a how to regarding exactly what to use to clean (other than a coat hanger to unclog...lol)

Thanks a bunch,
Zulu

Okay I'm kind of confused on your question. Are you going to delete your EGR or keep it? If you are going to delete it you would plug the pipe end with the plate and the EGR end with the plug so there wouldn't be any reason to clean either one unless you planned on putting it back on at a later date. As far as cleaning you intake. You could take it off and clean it by hand or seafoam it.

DIY: Sea Foam

Ok I am glad you posted because that cleared up some confusion I had from reading all these how to's. I plan on using the EGR block off so from what you posted, looks like I won't need to clean that pipe.

Are there any other areas that will have lots of carbon build up other than the intake manifold? And for those areas can I use seafoam as well? I am asking because I'm new to this and I was reading about fuel pump internals and people were talking about how careful you had to be. I'm not sure what needs to be handled in a specific way and what doesn't.

Thanks,

[ak_spray]

The valves on DI cars are notorious for carbon build up and the seafoam will take care of that. You can't have too many miles considering your year. Keep in mind when you do all this stuff, I assume you still have new car warranty, that you'll have to put all this stuff back to stock if you have a dealer visit whether its and oil change or warranty work. You won't have any contact with the fuel pump so that's no problem just make sure that you follow the directions carefully that's a given though.

Edit: You know this will cause a check engine light correct? Just thought I'd throw that out there. If you have an AP you can get rid of it.

[Zulu]

Good to know. Thanks!

[stp]

Ordered... installing over the weekend. Jamie super-fast processing FTW!

[Zulu]

Got mine. Super quick delivery and excellent customer service. Why can't every purchase be this simple?

[speedtown]

just got my p0401 today...good times. Just bumpin this thread to give some good reps to JBR. Always gotten good products with quick delivery, thanks again for work.

[vegaszoom]

I wont have an AP for a while. What else can i use to clear the CEL.

[ak_spray]

From what I understand it will go away after so many turns of the key but it will probably come back. You could go to a local auto parts place and have them use their scan tool to clear the code.

Nothing to stop if from coming back.

You can clear it but as mentioned it will return.

live with it until you getan AP then..

[taf0422]

Piece of cake install. Just did mine a few weeks ago and still havent gotten any sort of cel but I have an ap so I'm not too worried about it!

My tube was cake full! Im surprised the code didnt go off for being blocked already. Lol

[qwerty4550]

Is there anyway to prevent the code from coming back with the Dash Hawk? I threw the P0401 code a couple of days ago and cleared it with the DH and it has not come back. I cleaned my EGR and pipe about 5k miles ago so I am not sure why it came back already.

[wolly6973]

get an ap

[taf0422]

The ap and access tuner race and you will be able to block the code completely from ever coming back.

If you just cleaned everything out and still have the tube in there, I doubt you will have any issues later.

[karl-hungus]

using an occ, my im would have been clean if not for the egr. recommend this and jamie's tb tig / coolant bypass.

[JohnMS3]

second time p0401 came on...clean egr pipe or block it off?

any drawbacks with blocking off egr?

[wolly6973]

Not unless you like nasty crap in your engine!

[NinjaT1985]

Ordered...

[anavrinIV]

Just read this entire thread. In a couple weeks I'll be doing car maintenance galore, and that will include this block off kit...plus a spin on conversion, an oil change, sea foam, tranny fluid change (possibly)...gonna be a good day.

[m249saw]

Just ordered mine. How dare you send me tracking info 2 hours after I order it

[VitViper]

edit: just got an email from you, thanks!

[f-castrillo]

So would this still be beneficial to someone with a fully clogged EGR pipe? I'm about to order the kit and the OCC anyways, but I was curious as to that point.

Absolutely! You definatley don't want a piece of that crud breakimg loose and finding its way in to the motor. I would get rid of the tube all together or clean it out and put the block off plate on.

OCC is also pretty important on the motors.

Thanks,
Jamie
