EGR Blockoff while keeping EGR Equiptment
So when I bought my car I was getting a missfire, turns out it was the EGR not working properly. At the time to solve it I just disconnected the hose going to the BPT and blocked it off as well as putting a resistor on the harness to stop a check engine light.
Now here is the tricky part.. I live in an area where all emissions are 99% visual (expect the gas cap) and they do check the EGR. I know someone that has a U12 swap in his 98 and all he did was rip the stickers off the hood, it manages to pass... But being not everyone is that dumb Im thinking of something a little more deceiving. Keeping everything connected but putting a blockoff plate between the EGR and intake, as well as reconnect all the lines (blocked internally of course) except for what you need and bypass the EGR. The hardest part I can see is fooling someone with the pipe going back to the exhaust manifold. In my case its going to be a stock DE that will be turbo, I may be able to cut the pipe and run it under the manifold and make it look like its attached. Since it will be hard to see (covered by heat shields) they will probably just assume its all good.
Anyone else think of this stuff or got some input? Or does everyone think I am worring way too much about this, just do what that other kid did and IF it doesnt pass go through all of this mess?
