jkupp2000 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 does anyone know of a kit to block off the egr port on the exhaust manifold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calpoly-z Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 No kits that I've ever seen. Most people just fab up a plate of steel or aluminum to cover the top hole and throw a cap or plug into the bottom hole on the intake manifolds. For the exhaust I've seen people put a bolt in there and then weld it up. You might be able to find a plug that will screw in, but I'm not sure what the thread size would be.

jkupp2000 Posted May 26, 2009 Author Share Posted May 26, 2009 i'v looked at all the hardware stores but none of them have one big enough for the exhaust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilZX Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I just cut up one of the heat shield brackets from the engine bay and bolted that on. Just a little massaging with a hammer and a flat surface. I also just threw a penny into the pipe and pinched it off and it works perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerryb Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 LOL...I guess you need to try and get one. Go to a local metal mart (or such)......they have all sorts of cut offs. I would do that but i dont have the pipe or the tube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WizardBlack Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Dude, you just need to leave your car alone if you can't measure anything, don't have any tools and don't have the ability to customize anything. Most of us have learned much of what we know from discussion and trial-and-error. You have to muster your motivation and initiative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkupp2000 Posted June 7, 2009 Author Share Posted June 7, 2009 Dude, you just need to leave your car alone if you can't measure anything Why are you talking? Not only am I ASE cert. but I also know how to TIG and MIG weld. I most like done more fab work this weekend then you have done your entire life. The only reason I said most likely is because I got the the race shop late on saturday. Thats the place where I have measure and fabircated most of the late model car I'm helping built. So thank you for reading all of the post. jkupp2000 "I would do that but i dont have the pipe or the tube" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So thank you for reading all of the post. jkupp2000 "I would do that but i dont have the pipe or the tube" Your 'most likely' is not terribly likely. There are lots of experienced guys on here. I've owned a race shop for years and helped several guys run theirs as well. The reason we state that is that your posts seem to just say 'Help, my arms and legs are broken and I can't figure anything out'. I mean, you can't figure out the size of the pipe? Your only source for caps/plugs is the hardware store? Go back and read your posts and imagine what someone thinks who doesn't know who you are or what your experience is. Calpoly gave you the appropriate answer; practicularly for someone with access and experience to make use of fab materials and employ a welder.
