noobie Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I bought a header for my 1977 280z. There is no connection for the egr it appears. Can I remove the egr or do I need to get a different header or air intake? I tried looking for this info but could not find it. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

Richlkyl666 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 i just did this i bought a diffrent header without a egr fitting and all i did was create a plate to block off the egr riser (egr valve removed) and plugged the ports. car isnt running right now so idk if it will effect anything.

Tony D Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 (edited) Welding a steel halfcoupling of proper NPT size will allow you to reconnect the EGR keeping everything looking like it works. If you drill a hole in the header in the center of the half-coupling, the EGR will actually function...the size of the hole you drill will determine how much of a percentage of EGR you get compared to the stock system. I used Swagelok Tubing Fittings in 316 Stainless, as well as some 0.500" x 0.035" walled 316 Stainless Tubing to reconnect my EGR, but I took the gas from a much lower pressure area...cooler too (Though incorporating one of the new diesel EGR coolers has been on my mind a lot lately!)
