ok so i have a black top s13 sr20det and it has a big ugly egr valve right next to the vavle cover, and it has all lines and run to a charcoal canister. i would love nothing more than to get rid of it. is it possible to remove it without hurting any other systems on the motor?

i thought jdm engines never had egr valves?

edit:searched, some sr's had the egr valve, it was a option. i read something like 2.0l displacemt or smaller has different smog laws in japan.

I don't think it should hurt anything. I kept EGR on mine, because it doesn't harm anything, either. It's not really a performance gain to remove it, but yeah it does simplify stuff cuz you can clean more crap out of the engine bay.

BTW where are you, are you here in the States?

You must only have a sniffer test?

I donno, I would keep it, though I've seen them pass with out any emissions other than a cat.

Maybe just wrap it in some fancy heat wrap, just to hide it? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
