egr blocking plate

Hi Gossy,

Never had to buy one myself but maybe try a shop that does turbo installations and modification. Some have dyno setups and do all sorts of performance work for diesels.

I just cut one from a discarded jam tin. Still OK after several years.


Interesting story went with it. The Camry had been 'hesitating' for some time and Toyota Service could not even notice it, let alone correct it. Then an ex-Toyota apprentice happened to visit and I quizzed him about the 'hesitation'. His prompt response was "faulty EGR valve". I blanked it off and no more problem. I do not use Toyota Service anymore!

G'day mate, I'm not sure what state you're in, but Sprint Auto Parts are a good bet! Here in SA the store at Munno Para is the go to store for EGR blocking plates/chips etc.

I personally wouldn't even consider cutting one out of a jam tin lid. When it lets go, bits will find their way into places they shouldn't & bang! $$$ ;)

Cheers,

Kevin.

If you remove the EGR valve body you can make a plate from sheet stainless steel.
Many people, drill a 10mm dia hole in the middle.
This allows some EGR flow when the valve opens but restricts the full flow.
This means the EGR valve mechanism runs cooler and the small flow allows modern ECU system to detect some flow and they usually don't put up an engine fault code.

The low flow of EGR mixes with the incoming airflow and even if there is some blowby oil mist, it is quantity and heat limited so doesn't turn the combination of the two into a build up of gunk in the inlet manifold and throttle valve area.

I don't like the square metal plate where the overhanging casting is unsupported. If tightened too much it can break the casting or distort the casting. Then to make it seal properly you have to "face" the valve assembly.

I made one last Saturday night while watching tele, for my GQ 96rd28T.

I used this site as a guide.

Took me about half an hour or so.
