Blocking the EGR Valve

I'm pretty sure mines blocked 2011 GU


Publicly speaking to a private audience.

Do the CRD models need this as well?

Mate, if you could see inside your inlet manfold, you would see what the combination of carbon from your exhaust and PCV vapour does.
There is a lot of reading that can be done to help you make up your own mind on this and other forums with all types of vehicles.
Too much to try and explain here.

Hey Guys,

I'm looking at buying an '04 3l patrol which already has a heap of mods (not too sure about this one yet) and id be interested in doing this and fitting a catch can, is a dawes valve needed/recommended with this mod? It already has boost and egt gauges, chip, 3" exhaust etc. Just worried about overboosting and the like. I dont know all that much about engines, although I have learnt heaps over the last few days just from reading through forums so im not complteley incompetent haha.

Any help would be wicked,

Cheers
Gunner

Hey mate seen as you already have the boost and egt you are in good shape, definatley block that egr if not already done. The dawes valve and needle valve should be done without question it will give u alot smoother ride with more response and alot lower egt's

[Gunner93]

Sorry if its a stupid question but how will they give a smoother ride and more response? Just through having better control of the boost?

[WYLD333]

The needle valve will let ur turbo spool up alot faster than normal, and you can raise or lower boost threw your dawes and stop any boost spikes

great thread, thanks to all for the info in here. 150K on the clock in my patrol with EGR still active, better start thinking about blocking it soon.

If it's a GQ and everything is still working just unplug it in the engine bay.

Brilliant thread, definitely my next mod!
