Information About Egr Delete Kit

An EGR delete kit is meant to bypass the EGR system on your vehicle reducing the amount of soot and gunk in your intake system and in your oil. The EGR is the exhaust gas recirculation system that is designed to pick up the exhaust from the manifold and take it back around to the intake manifold so it can be burned again in your combustion chamber.

It allows the incoming air from your car intake to be combined with exhaust gases and lowers the adiabatic flame temperature. In diesel engines the recirculation system lowers the amount of excess oxygen. This creates a lower combustion temperature by increasing the heat capacity of the mix. This helps to reduce the production of Nox. Nox tends to progress faster when a combination of nitrogen and oxygen are subjected to high temperatures.

A delete kit is an aftermarket kit that was designed to bypass the exhaust around the recirculation system altogether. The kit allows you to replace the cast inter-cooler pipe that is on your vehicle now with an aluminum tube. Then you can block off the exhaust gas plumbing located at the rear of your vehicle with a blocking plate. If you use an up-pipe replacement for the original up-pipe you can completely remove the system pipes.

You will reap several benefits from having installed the EGR delete kit. The benefit that stands out the most is the fact that you will have a cleaner intake system because you will have stopped all those exhaust gasses from going back into your intake.

You will see the benefit of increased horse power immediately. The design of the delete kit increases airflow about 50% which results in increasing horse power about 30% and an increased torque by 48 ft-lbs. These are not the exact figures for all vehicles but they do represent the most common outcomes of installing a delete kit.

These exhaust gas recirculation bypass system kits come with an aluminum tube that is one single piece. The single tube allows for maximum improvement in air flow. You can also get the bypass kit in a two piece assembly that allows for improved cold weather performance by installing the heater grid that came stock with the vehicle.

The two piece system also comes with a spacer to replace the heater grid during the summer months so you can have increased air flow during the summer. There is about a 7% difference in the amount of airflow you have when you have the heater grid in place.

Eliminating the exhaust gas recirculation kit in your vehicle will give your engine cooler exhaust temperatures. This elimination will also lower your coolants temperatures while reducing the amount of black smoke emissions your vehicle produces. The installation of an EGR delete kit can increase the airflow in your engine giving you more horse power and higher torque and therefore benefiting you with a higher performance vehicle.
