That sucks...I didn't even take my egr line when i did my egr delete because i didn't know how...:(

that must of been a weak line because mine i had to take a grinder to it because a hacksaw wouldnt cut it. Only things i know he could do is get a bigger size pipe and put the smaller pipe in it and the weld the two seams or time for an egr delete.

well im in california so i cant do a delete, so i think ill go a junk huntinh. Do you think i loose power if its not connected?? cause i raced a civic that squeezed a 45 shot and got my ass handed to me even tho i kno ive killed plunty of civics with the v6.

EGR is on drivers side header, not passenger side.

umm i brought it to the ford dealership and he saidd the passenger side egr sensor would cost mre 140 to replace, so i think their rigt

Mine was also on the driver side

What year and v8 or v6? the v8's from 96-04 were driver side... and dealers rarely know their azzes from a hole in the ground... avoid them if you can.

From what I've been told, without the EGR you'll have higher combustion chamber temps at part throttle. I'd just grab one off a junkyard car and go from there. You'll want to use plenty of penetrating oil to break the rust free as the EGR tubes always rust on solid.

At WOT the EGR valve is closed so it's not going to affect power during race conditions... looks like you were honestly owned by a honduh. Bummer.

BTW... I've got a couple EGR tubes from my 5.4's that may or may not work... if you want one, pay shipping and 10 bucks and you can have it. I'm up in norcal so shipping will be relatively quick.

99 v6, and my didnt rust on its was still like a pure metal, that surprised me, my howl engine compartmetn is clean

r3dn3ck 08-14-2006 12:55 PM

well then... there's your answer to the owned by a honduhh mystery. V6 in a heavier car against a light car with giggle gas. I'd call that a fair fight and you lost. No pride ding there... it's an honest win for him. Check your junkyards for a new tube... v6 guys will know more about what side it's on than me...I'm a v8 guy.

butt rember if he had no no2 he would of got spanked, lol makes me wont to pull more money out get my pullies,tuner,gears,mainfold and ect

r3dn3ck 08-14-2006 01:07 PM

true enough.. but IMHO you should shelf all those mods and just slap a 50 shot on it... cheaper and you get all the power and keep all the street manners of your car for non-race times. Getting those mods will help but a 50 shot will beat that honduh

nowon 08-14-2006 01:17 PM

butt you kno were in cali to get a cheap 50 shott, cant seem to find a cheap one

r3dn3ck 08-14-2006 01:22 PM

define cheap... compucar bottle-in-a-bag kits can be had for 300ish which is mighty cheap and portable. Otherwise, figure a Zex kit should be about 400-500. Check with SoCal Diablo, they're local to SoCal and can usually point you in the right direction, otherwise Brothers Performance is down Riverside way (Corona I think) and they've always got decent prices.

Log on to www.wildhorsesclub.com and ask those guys... about half of them are LA area and someone is usually selling a nitrous kit. Tell em r3dn3ck sent you and they'll treat you really bad... hehehe jk
