EGR Delete

[Shifty Powers]

Does anyone have any writeups on this for the 4vs? I presume the stupid square box at the top right of the upper intake has to do with the EGR, cant remember exactly what it is.. But it needs to go!!! My hood is resting on it and I dont like it.. So the hood wins and that stupid thing needs to go

I planned to do this a while back with mine, but didn't pull the trigger because it doesn't provide any HP gains of any kind. The only advantage to doing the EGR Delete is a cleaner engine bay. Of course the car also has to be tuned for it, or else it'll start throwing codes once the EGR is gone.

I don't have a write up, but isn't it just as simple as removing the EGR tube and the EGR valve? Of course you would have to cap the hole in the header and put a block off plate where the EGR valve was. You'd also have to cap the vac line and remove the DPFE sensor. I think that's it.

From the research that I did, the header cap can be purchased at a hardware or home improvement store. The block off plate can be found on eBay. The parts can also be purchased from just about any of the reputable performance parts stores.

If you wanted to order these parts from the Ford dealership, here are the OEM part numbers:

E69Z-9D440-A - Block off plate (comes with 2 bolts and gasket)​

W705609-S430 - Header cap​

Thanks Deep.. I know it doesnt give any HP gains.. Not sure of my ability to pass emissions at that point. And tuning the car, no problemo there lol.

I just want that damn metal box gone so I can close my hood properly

The box you're talking about is probably the DPFE Sensor ??

 

[Shifty Powers]

thats right... F that goddamn thing

On the terminators there is the main EGR tube (header to intake) which has two separate other hoses. both go to the DPFE Sensor.

If you're getting a tune, you can completely delete the EGR tube andthe DPFE sensor. they can turn off the CEL with the tune.

If you're not getting a tune, let me know and I can find a write-up on how to piggy back it to trick the PCM.

 

[Shifty Powers]

now granted... I should get a tune.. but I need a tuner and that will come at some point but not yet.. And Ide rather not have that thing destroying my hood..

So if you know how to fool the pcm... ill try it..

sorry man. my work around only works with the unit on the car, but with it failing.



you'll just have to live with the CEL :-D

Actually its the MAP sensor.. I dont have a CEL.. I just want to move it so my hood stops resting on it
