catch can and egr

i put in my catch can but now the hoses are so damn close to the egr tube they will melt. i don't have the egr delete. can i disable the egr so it will stay closed somehow? can I unplug it?

Do I need to call my father?????

Ok, you are like twins right now. It's gonna take me awhile to get ya straight & tell ya apart!

The EGR delete is up to you. Some have done it for Cosmetic reasons. I believe you have to have Pred to do so & you already have that now.

i will try using the predator "EGR OFF " to see if i can get aroung the problem for now

reece, i was typing as you were, am i correct that if i use the predator to turn it off, then that egr pipe will stay cooler?

i have a catch can and have no problems. which mount did you use

Reece, Its my car sooo, look at the photos Im driver's side and he's shot gun and notice I took the time to deal what kind of car it is and he didnt!

I'm not sure about the pipe running cooler, but billet technoligies sells a egr block out plate that you can install to cover the hole that is left after you remove it. And if i remember correctly on one of the other forums their is a heat shield on the egr tube that u can slide up to help with the heat on the hose.

jesse mine mounts right by the water outlet housing, there is a threaded bolt that sticks out there and thats where BT says to put it.

gil, i don't have the blocks yet and have the thing installed and want to use it, i hope the valve stays closed, i just used the predator and set it to EGR OFF.

it should be the same as mine and i have no problems

not the same, I have a metal EGR tube that runs from between the coolant hose and that right side head/intake to the intake manifold, my can is mounted inthe same place as yours

and i don't believe the 09 5.7s or 6.1s had an egr valve

Thats funny!! Way to represent for us scorpios!!

oh boy enough with the scorpio's people, we're talking catch cans ans egr's..lol

I wouldnt do the egr delete on the pred unless you have the egr delete plugs....

turning it off ...I believe wont stop gases from entering it and it still will be hot... and it will still create a vacuum where the gases are pulled into it... and may throw codes with it turned off but gases getting pulled in anyhow...

you can move the aluminum shield up on the egr tube to protect the lines...or maybe even get some thermo wrap and wrap it alittle to protect the lines from touching it...

just bring her on by and we'll take are of it !

Replied to your pm

whos sells the egr delets kits?

i was just reading some posts on diablos website in their forums and can across two things, one says that you should not disable the egr unless it is removed. another says the if it set to off with the predator than it's ok to unplug it.

how hard is it to remove the egr and put it back on?

just saw another post that says the EGR OFF will turn make the system stop functioning.

Leave it on, untill you get the egr delete. Billet tech sells them.
