Brilliant! Thanks for the clear explanation. Think I`ll stick with legal side here in the UK. But that`s an individual choice so each to their own. Good luck everyone!

I drive a Hyundai Santa Fe 2.0T. The exhaust system of my car gets clogged frequently because I only drive 4 miles daily. Would deleting the EGR help with the exhaust problems? I live outside the US.

Zdravo imam 2.0hdi i imam dvije metalne plocice da ga “izbrisem” dali te plocice samo stavim izmedu da ga blokiraju ili da ga fizicki odstranim te montiram plocice ?

Zdravo, Morate da uđete u kompjuter automobila i modificirati ga tako da zna da ne koristi egr. Ako to ne uradite auto ce imati problema zato sto ce misliti da je egr blokiran. I ne samo to, kao rece gospodin u videu, ako ne napravis update kompjuteru auta, neces dobiti vise snage zato sto motor nece znati da da vise benzina autu

I guess you are talking about diesel engines, as EGR is not common in otto circle. Diesel engine do not knock from a lean condition, this is exactly how they control power generated, inside the operating range, more fuel, more power, less fuel, less power...

Is the egr the same as the sai

@MechanicBase 11 ай бұрын

No, SAI pumps in fresh air into the intake, before the cat coverters, to warm them up more quickly. SAI only works on warmup.

Bought a 2016 sprinter van that already had the delete done (legal in my province in Canada) can gets amazing fuel economy for its size 10L/100km~. Motor should last nearly forever…

Egr is a terrible design. It's so stupid. It causes cars to run ultimatley worse, consume more fuel and break, I thino that's worse for the environment in the long term.

PCM knows if engine gets to much air through the O2 sensors and will adjust the fuel accordingly. Plus there is a MAF sensor, MAP sensor so lots of ways to determine the amount of air in the engine. Just replaced my EGR with a cheep one and after a while my Ford gets limited to 3000 rpm (with EGR codes) so thinking of deleting the sucker.
