I couldn't make it through the whole video without having to interject. EGR is important. When you are running hot and burning cheap gas the possibility of detonation occurs. Two things happen. The heavy near knock pinging is picked up by the knock sensors. The ECM then retards timing to kill the knock, but it gets some help from...... You guessed it. The EGR valve. The point of the valve is just that. It introduces an INERT gas (spent exhaust) which causes a very quick temperature quench of the combustion chamber. Result? Knock killed immediately, and ignition timing restored to pre detonation setting. I'm not farting in the wind here... Master AST over 25 yrs. I am aware of shop owners who deleted EGR only to be sued by a customer because their engine piled up. They were chasing a stuck EGR and plated it off... Runs great now!! Man it flies!! Correction.... Flew.
@lees.4084Ай бұрын
🤣 BS... EGR was removed from my corvette and numerous other vehicles, and I never had issues with detonation from it. Verified with scantool knock count checks. EGR is used to control oxides of nitrogen emissions on older cars. Most newer cars use better catalytic converters to break them down instead.
@Max-nh3gp Жыл бұрын
EGR - Makes no difference. Its only active when cruising. Smog pump - makes no real difference. Might gain half an hp in friction reduction. The real benefit to it is having less random hoses and wires running around the engine bay, which makes working on the car a lot easier. Frisbee - Its a little less rotational mass. Might be worth it but gaining 10hp from it is a big stretch. More like 2hp. Still, it serves no real purpose so removing it isn't a bad idea. Air box delete - the stock air box has more than enough air flow. The small fins on it don't really obstruct anything at all. I read on a forum somewhere that a guy dynoed before and after and had zero gains cutting up the air box. The only way to benefit here would be an air ram intake. -Insulating the air intake system - I have never heard of this one before. I would be curious to know if there is any actual gains. I feel like most of the heat transferred would be through direct metal on metal contact with the lower intake portion of the engine itself, and that the surrounding air might actually work to cool the intake rather than heat it. Could be a pro or a con, would need testing to see. Muffler delete - This one will actually make some extra hp BUT your car will be too loud. You are better off deleting the cat and calling it a day. These vehicles were designed with performance in mind. If you want to make more power an air ram intake, long tube headers, cat delete, tune/chip, and maybe the frisbee mod would be the ways to go. General maintenance stuff like testing the functionality of the MAF/O2 sensor/TPS, making sure there are no vacuum leaks, making sure the radiator is clean and free of debris, and making sure the air filter is clean would also help in performance.

Firstly, the EGR delete won't make one single bit of difference to power output, it does not recirculate exhaust gasses at WOT, and there is no point in removing it unless it is faulty or stuck open, and absolutely ZERO power to be gained. Secondly, the air injection reaction system simply blows air into the exhaust headers when in open loop, almost only ever when cold. Removing it will have absolutely no impact on how well the engine breathes. It "may" give a couple horsepower at lower RPM due to reduced parasitic drag on the belt, but that is it. I think maybe it would be a really good idea to get your facts right before you start telling people how to modify their cars, someone might come along here and actually think you know what you're talking about.

If you really want to “mod” your C4, put AT MINIMUM a better intake. Then if you feel like it, either get your heads ported or just replace them. Then do a full exhaust.

The only one of these “mods“ I would personally recommend would be modifying the air box and installing a K&N filter. I’ve opened up the area behind the license recessed area for cold air on my 96 LT4. Disconnecting any part of the EGR is pointless, and I would also discourage modding the AIR system. You won’t gain any power, likely even loose power with EGR removal, (probably won’t notice much with AIR system removal), sometimes causing issues with the computer and sensors. And like it or not, these systems are there for a good reason. Plus there is the whole “illegal AF” part. The suggested mod that really annoys and is a real pet peeve of mine is doing a muffler delete. Don’t take this personally if you have already done this, but louder is NOT a performance sound. With the early C4 especially, an 8-10hp increase is quite optimistic. With only 240-245hp, the sound you will end up with is more old work truck than performance sports car. The significant choke points with the stock exhaust are up stream of the stock mufflers. The tiny exhaust tube size, the transitions from the exhaust manifolds, catalytic converter(S), to the mid-pipe resonators, which on some earlier years even drops to a single pipe. Of course the stock muffler is not great but cutting them off while leaving everything else up stream will net you little more than LOUD. My recommendation I realise can be expensive but it will pay dividends in spades ♠️. I’ve been working on/modding C4’s since around ‘94-‘95. A full exhaust system designed for the car is the mod I always first recommend to anyone who is new to the wonderful C4 Corvette. A good quality performance exhaust(cat back)system can be had for $700-$1000. I can not see spending at least $300 to have a muffler delete installed. The advantage of a free flowing system is obvious, but the other significant gain is a proper, tuned performance sound that the C4 needs and deserves, not the ratty truck sound of just hacking the mufflers off. I know some won’t agree, mostly with the cost. But taking the time to save up, you won’t regret it. Add to this over time with good quality shorty headers, hi-flow cats, then a proper computer tune, the gains without cracking the engine open are significant. A little patience while saving up will be well rewarded.

Removing the air system is all pretty much all aesthetics. On the LT1/4 cars the air injection system is a mess. I installed shorty headers in my 96 and the bolt gets practically welded into the exhaust manifolds. After destroying the tube trying to get it out, I decided to remove all the clutter. I'm not going to pretend to get any performance gains here. Just less crap in my engine bay obscuring my nice new shiny headers for a nice clean look. The LT1/4 cars also have a resonator that you can safely delete for an x-pipe. Keeping the stock mufflers gives the car a beefier sound, honestly how the car should have came as it's not very loud. You can still add aftermarket mufflers without making it anywhere near obnoxious and possibly illegal where you live, unlike a muffler delete. The air box system is actually designed very well on C4s. I wouldn't waste money on anything there. Cut out the box if you really want. As for anything else save the money for something that really matters.

Without any dyno or dragstrip time you join the countless hoard of Internet horsepower wizards. On the dyno a typical K&N air filter will show the same horsepower increase as simply replacing a dirty stock air filter with a clean stock replacement air filter. There are some neat tricks that you can do with a flipped C4 air cleaner assembly to make an effective ram air system (with the trade off that you can’t drive your C4 through deep water puddles in the rain). Hot Rod Magazine made the ultimate light weight C4 in their hack-a-vette go cart. Don’t stop with meager 30 lb weight drops - go for a 1,000 lbs or more.

Why would you move the intake air temp sensor? It is there to measure the temperature in the plenum, and that is where the ECM expects the reading is being taken from. Don't ya think if GM believed it would make more power moving the sensor there they would've done it themselves?? Doing what you did will at best do absolutely nothing, and at worst make it run too rich, causing the O2s to tell the ECM to pull fuel out. Either way it was a total waste of time and money. The O2s give the most dominant say in fuel mixture adjustment, the IAT is WAY down the pecking order. It is placed there on LT1 cars because the ECM and later PCM expects that is where the reading is being taken from. It is a different sensor, and serves a difference purpose for a different management system. Put it back where it belongs, it won't foul your O2 and cats, and enjoy the better fuel economy while getting the exact same power.

The real upgrade that you missed was the easiest and most effective modification: Air Foil on the throttle body between the two Air inlets ! Honorable Mention should be the Performance Chip Upgrade on the ECU.

Not most effective. It does nothing, dyno sheet has proved so. The ‘turbulence’ really isn’t an issue and it doesn’t do anything in this case.

The Airbox "Mod" doesn't really do anything unless you are making over 650hp. All it does is allow more water and debris into the filter. I have seen a 383 making 450hp using the stock airbox and not losing any power over a completely open one.

@rotorblade9508 Жыл бұрын
EGR could (it depends on what limits they have for older cars) it’s a huge factor in NOx reduction. not sure about the air delete. I think it sends air to the main cat even when warmed up to keep burning HC effectively. btw, air makes the CAT hotter because of the O2. Then if you have front preconverters they preburn extra HC (fuel) and protect the main one but ceramic converters close to exhaust manifolds can break easily and clog the rear so I would recommend metallic core as preconverters.

Disconnecting the EGR will cause engine knock. Then the knock sensors will cause the spark to retard.
