Blocking the EGR Valve

[nissannewby]

Northside 4x4 in brisbane do a kit.

I will also add that thos is only for the 4.2 egr system

I would like to remove it for freeing up the engine bay, easier access to oil filters mostly.... Is it such a big job or bad idea?...

Bad idea IMO. Illegal for a start, and big fines from the EPA if caught.

are you sure thats a zd30 engine? im thinking of doing the same to mine but i tought it was on the other side? reason for asking is my acutators for the turbo are on the back

I have removed the EGR an all the crap that goes with it even removed the stock intercooler the new intercooler comes with the whole kit to remove egr the 4.2 runs cooler on the egt gauge runs smoother and turbo spools up faster best thing you can do to a 4.2 should work on a 3lt best thing i ever done//

Its a common mod and most will do it.

Is it recommended to install a pyro and EGT gauge before blocking the EGR to have a baseline to compare to after the mod? Also is it mandatory to have those gauges after blocking it?
