ANNOUNCEMENT: There is less than one week remaining on this sale, if you are interested please be sure to make payment before January 30th

Announcement: Since I didn't realize this was limited to OBDI, I am willing to cut the price to $12 shipped to the lower 48 states.

Bulk Buy Item:
2nd gen Probe GT or 2nd gen MX-6 2.5L KLDE EGR block-off plate

These block-off plates, precision cut in aluminum, are designed to slip in between the block and the EGR valve to stop the flow of exhaust without removing the system or creating unnecessary CELs. It is recommended to use RTV sealant (not included) on both the block and EGR surfaces to avoid any leaks.

May sound stupid but what does blocking off the egr do?

[Ransom]

EGR stands for Exhaust Gas Recirculation. EGR helps your gas milage and helps to keep emissions down by burning any unburnt fuel from before. Blocking the plate off keeps the hot exhaust gasses from being mixed with the fresh air, thus helping keep your intake at cooler temps. The cooler temps the better.

Thanks I knew what egr meant I just didn't get the whole concept of what it did

[klde94]

I would probably buy this If there were more details on this, how much power would I gain? Would my gas mileage go down? How hard is the install?

The main reason for making these was because a friend had a bad EGR solenoid and wanted to take it out of the equation rather than replacing it. As far as power gain or gas mileage decreases I could only speculate, but I have read/heard it is about 1-2 mpg sacrifice to keep your intake manifold clean. Installation is only challenged by location because you have to be able to reach the port on the block to unbolt the EGR, RTV both surfaces, and bolt it back down with the plate in between.

i maybe interested josh will these cause a CEL on an OBDII car?

[p_robe_21]

my 96 gt had the block of plate on it, there was still a CEL. had to register it in washington county so i didn't have to go through emissions.

From what I have read... as long as the solenoids and position sensor are hooked up and functioning there should not be a CEL on OBDII, however, this is only from what I have read, I cannot make any steadfast guarantees.

EDIT: I incorrectly stated OBDI above, this procedure is known to not throw CEL's on OBDI

[TravisWilliams_GT]

There is no current way to "trick" the boost sensor on the OBD II cars. It is essencially a Manifold Air Pressure Sensor that monitors the change in pressure when the EGR is activated. If it does not see a change, it throws the CEL. Poo on OBD II.

OBD I leave everything installed, just install this plate like a gasket between the EGR and the rear head where it is mounted. The lack of exhaust in the IM will reduce the soot deposits, but not eliminate them, since the bulk of that black junk in the IM is from the PCV, and not the EGR.

Thanks for clearing that up.

OBDII sucks and I may possibly be interested if funds allow. I know its pretty cheap but the way things have been going I don't want to say yes or no yet

Well since I didn't realize this was limited to OBDI, I am willing to cut the price to $12 shipped to the lower 48 states.
