ian g Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 better off getting it remapped if you blank it or could cause other problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secret-squirrel Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 better off getting it remapped if you blank it or could cause other problems Explain?? . All your doing is stopping exhaust gases going back threw the system . There for making turbo spool up quicker We're does the remap come in ?

THE AD Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Waiting for my blanking kit to come for my l200. No one on the l200 site ever mentions remap after egr removal and allot of the guys have done it with no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devonhunter Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Ive never heard of any problems blanking it off , ive done it to a few cars now and know others also that have , it should save you money really as its clogging your manifold with carbon all the time and you wouldnt want to replace that if you can help it especially if swirl flaps are involved aswell , your engine should run alot smoother with no flat spots in the rev range and no clouds of black smoke when you put your foot down.

walshie Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Blanked mine off in my Disco one. Never had any problems with it and it sailed through M.O.Ts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bornfree Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Certain ECUs are clever enough to know when the egr is blanked . Mk7 ford transit for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devonhunter Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Thats why they make plates with a small hole in just to let a little bit of the gases get through so the ecu thinks it working correctley and dosnt throw a fault . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaun4860 Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Can you blank any diesel off or just truck types (VW Diesel) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secret-squirrel Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Can you blank any diesel off or just truck types (VW Diesel) Any diesel I believe. Iv done it to all my past cars . 1.8 tdci focus. 2.0hdi pug. 1.4tdi polo and just done it to the ranger . All produced better low rev power. Turbo spools up quicker and seems smoother power delivery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian g Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 some it will work fine on some will throw ecu fault codes up causing the car to go in to limp mode its the same if you take the cat off some will be fine others will need remapping to stop fault codes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Gunner Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 My Navara lost power then wouldn't start at the weekend. I've blanked of the EGR and it started straight away and is running fine with no fault lights showing. Pity the RAC bloke didn't know what to do as he just called out the recovery truck and said it would be a Nissan fix because his machine couldn't pick up a fault. £4 plate and back up and running Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jam1e Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 Spooky, was about to blank mine off and noticed this thread. I agree. From what research I've done, the worst that can happen is the eml with come on. If you can live with that then no problem. Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
