need info with egr (pics included)

[reflection]

Hi,

i have a jeep liberty 2004 (europe version) and i want to disable egr.
i read in this site that pre 2005 models' egr can be disabled by blocking one of the vacuum pipes.

here is my question:
can i block my egr with blocking one of the vacuum pipes or the europe versions have different type of egr mechanism?

if not, which pipe should i block?

here is the pictures

Why do you want to disable the EGR?

Why do you want to disable the EGR?

i know it controls NOx emissions and it might give me better mpg but i dont like the idea of taking exhaust gases into the engine

 

[CactusJacked]

Believe it or not, in addition to helping mpg's, the EGR actually lowers combustion chamber temperatures.

egr delete on these does nothing.. the kj really has no engine mods that will do anything..

i read that before but i've never seen my engine temperature rise above middle of the temperature gauge. i think temperature is not our primary concern in crd engines (it might have more effect on other engines)

i will check the temperature more often when i disable the egr and see how it goes

i dont want more hp or torque, i just want clear intake :icon_smile:

have you been on LOSTJEEPs and went through the CRD section there?

you can throw some louvers in the hood to help eliminate extra heat.

yes

I believe the OP has a CRD so the whole EGR thing is different for the diesel gang. There's an entire series of mods for the CRD's that include blocking the EGR, different tuning for the PCM, different torque converter, change out the intercooler hoses, etc etc.

Makes quite a difference in performance based on the posts over on LOST Jeeps.

yes

LOST is going to be your best source out there for anything to do with the CRDs

i know the benifits of the egr derlete run it on a 05 f250 works great with bully dog tuner. but on such a small motor i cant see it doing too much .
im prolly wrong like normal

returning my question
can i block my egr with blocking one of the vacuum pipes or the europe versions have different type of egr mechanism? (i can take more photos if you need)
what do you thing?

thanks

So "European version" automatically means CRD then?
What about this guys setup, which removes/bypasses that stuff: http://www.jeepkj.com/forum/f228/crd-intake-elbow-kit-deletes-egr-fcv-55540/

i thing this kit is for 2005 and later models.
i ve read 2002-2004 crd s do not have a FCV and they have different type of egr mechanism

I have a 2005, but as far as I can recall, simply blocking the pipe to the EGR is all you need. I think Billwill from South Africa simply pulled the rubber pipe off and inserted a screw into the hole, then popped the pipe back on, so that the mod was invisible to a visual inspection. I don't believe that he's had any issues.

I also have both the GDE tune and the Weeks kit installed.

Incidentally, it's not that Euro means diesel, its just that more diesel KJs were sold here (and in other export markets) than petrol because of the reputation of the 3.7 for grim fuel consumption, and we pay a LOT more for fuel over here.
