Hey guys, my old toy is new again. Anything under the hood look a bit different? ?

 

[lu vr6]

Egr delete and throttle body swap

 

[lu vr6]

The problem!

 

[lu vr6]

Another problem

 

[lu vr6]

Straight pipes turbo to muffler

 

[lu vr6]

... No muffler! ?

 

[lu vr6]

I'll figure out how to post a video later, this thing sounds ridiculous!

 

[Ragman]

LOL, can't wait to hear that.

not sure on video posting, might need a youtube or such account.

how hard was it to blank the Egr?

did you need to remap or retune?

Remapping for EGR delete on early V10's is not required. Simply plate off the EGR pipe.

I've got my malone tune up and running and I still have this code showing. It's been forwarded to Mark.

 

[lu vr6]

Also blanking of just the hotside was required as flipping the throttle bodies and using short bolts allows you to remove the cold side all together, as well as my fancy notching of the engine cover.

This is before I got the Malone Tune so there's a bit of smoke, I'll take a better video soon, the turbo noise is quite obnoxious under load.

That sounds amazing!!!!

 

[ArgonSr]

So all you did was take out the egr valve on the intakes, blanked off the pipes that ran to the valve, and then put the throttle bodies back on with shorter bolts? Also, what do you mean by "flipping" the throttle bodies? Did you put them back on the opposite side from the side they originally were on? Thanks.

Super cool! It took me a minute to realize but you actually removed everything. nice. So you flipped them because the motors interfere with the engine i am guessing since they now sit closer to the intake manifold.

Bravo. A+ for ingenuity. Now get some catch cans on that ccv tube and you should keep those intakes pretty clean.

 

[lu vr6]

Yeah you got it!

 

[ArgonSr]

I love the new wheels.
So how hard was it to remove the cats and flex pipe assemblies? I see that you removed all of that with the DPF's as a single piece.
Or did you just put them back together for the picture? I am interested in doing something similar and am wondering how hard it is going to be to remove all of that stuff.

Thank you.

 

[lu vr6]

Each side came out as a single piece, i believe they dropped the tranny crossmember a bit for easier removal and installation.

Stellar work. Have the trouble codes gone away?
Yours is an example of how it should be done.
