Blocking the EGR Valve

[cliff]

Howdy gurus!

Still wanting to know if this is a viable mod for a TB42e or not??

I've just about got everything needed to complete the NADS. I'm only waiting on the dawes...Can I do the lot including the EGR plate all together? EGR and boost gauge included. As it would be easier because half the car is in bits. Or should I do the dawes and needle first, run the car , then EGR etc etc.

Do the lot at once mate, then you can tweak the Dawse valve.

Fitted the Ferret blank today. Thanks to Ferret, Chaz & others for their exceptionally useful advice & experience - so much easier when others have done the pathfinding before you. Thanks guys.

The 4.2 runs so much better, less restricted in acceleration, turbo spools up about 400rpm sooner, no big boost issues. IC & hoses were oily, but not as much as I'd expected for an '06 4.2 with 117K km.

cheers,

What did you use to clean the intercooler out. I'm just about to do my 4.2

Finally got around to making a blank from some old stainless around the house, (from my fish-cleaning bench top, may as well get some use out of it!). The original diagram and measurements were fine for my 2.8TD and the difference in acceleration and spool up is noticeable. Thanks for the info folks, the thread has been very informative, if it happens to give better fuel consumption then that will be a nice bonus.

Here ya go mate.

Ferret your a legend for posting the picture of the zd30 ,I have been considering blocking the Egr for a while but was getting lost and couldnt find it. Thanks Neil

I'm un blocking my EGR tomorrow as I can't controll boost via the dawes, That Chaz has drawing for that set up, just getting too much boost so it over boosts big time. Getting fed up with piece of s%^T nissan

Just checking before I launch into this....

I don't have an intercooler so that means that there is no butterfly valves to take out.

All I need to do is to install the EGT plate.

Yep, if it's a 4.2, just block it.
It's a good idea to fit boost gauge, pyro and a catch can.
Cheers, the ferret.
