The other day I just made an STS EGR blanking plate for my 2006 Mazda BT 50 2.5 common rail turbo diesel, it now runs much cooler but the check engine light has come on. I have not put a screw in the vacuum line yet, so the EGR valve is still working but drawing no exhaust gases. I live in a subtropical climate.
When blocking physically your EGR - you better change/correct the firmware of the ECU (engine control). Imagine you've blocked part of exaust which was coming to the cylinder to lower the temperature of the combustion. But ECU doesn't 'know' about that and continue to work with the same values for fuel injection, thinking that EGR still operates. Usually this cause increase of temrepature in combustion chamber. This may affect diesel injectors for instance. However it may not. Depends on engine, manufacturer and many other conditions. Anyway, it's recommended to shut EGR both physically and via program mod.
I run a pyrometer and monitor temperatures consistently. By in taking more clean air my engine actually 1 mpg and the EGT temperature is not enough different to make a difference.
Hello, nice video. Question, I took my truck to the shop for EGR valve replacement, I had code P0400. The replacement was a success and they charged me pretty good $ but the symptoms never went away, and the light/code came back right away, I am suspecting clogged intake passages. Would this mod help with the symptoms already present? Hesitation on low gear and no power etc.. I don't care about the code I just want to drive my truck like I used to without the hesitation. I don't have any problems with my truck besides this. My truck is a Ford ranger 2002 2.3, whoever decided to put an EGR behind the engine was a total genius... Meh Thanks
@@MerohDIY I wouldn't bother asking this guy anything, he clearly has absolutely no idea what he is doing, or what an EGR actually does. But hey, let's ask him a few things shall we? Like how are you going to compensate for the EGT cooling the EGR provides? Or, how are you going to compensate for the volumetric loss in the combustion chamber that you have caused by blocking the EGR? Or how about this one: Why didn't you install a catch can? A catch can will catch the oil from the blow by which is what actually causes the sludgey build up in your intake manifold.
Installing catch can oil or block this EGR which one is better for engine in long term? I plan to buy ranger raptor 2.0 so what is your suggestion. Thanks
Hola yo se que este video es un poco viejo pero acabo de comprar una L200 Diésel y quiero hacerle este procedimiento mi pregunta es cuánto plates ocupas solo uno? El que tapa la EGR?
I did block my EGR on my T6 ford ranger, My fuel consumption befor 11.5L/100km and now it become 12L/100km, And it feels much burden on the engine,just like Bob Rose said the max hp wont go to maximum.. should i remove the blocking plate?? Or is there any sugestion??
@@BadAssEngineering thx. Im gonna do the same, probably need to remove it before inspection and i will get check engine light, but atleast my engine will last longer.
@@denniero6904 Actually your engine will most likely not last longer. Obstructing the EGR causes higher EGTs, and it also causes a volumetric loss in the combustion chamber which forces the engine to work harder on every stroke. Which will in turn mean that in time you will cause more wear on the piston rings and get more blow by, which is actually what causes your intake manifold to get clogged, not the EGR. Funnily enough the actual engineers at the major car manufacturers have done a LOT of research and development into this. But hey you can always put your faith in this bloke who is quite obviously not an engineer and has no clue what he is doing or what he is talking about. Your call....
@@BadAssEngineering I am currently using aluminium plate near the exhaust manifold between EGR Valve and pipe from the exhaust. Done around 400km and the aluminium plate is working good. Ambient temperature here is 30-35 Degree celcius.
Buen video, buena idea hacerlo desde los 10 mil km yo lo acabo de hacer a los 30 mil km en una L200 2019, Existe un video donde dicen que también se debe retirar la mariposa o palometa (anti shudder vale) de entrada del aire del turbo que se supone controla en parte el sistema EGR, de esa manera se tiene aire libremente y el turbo no recibe contrapresiones, que opinas dejo el link saludos. th-cam.com/video/jQ8BDdgeI1Q/w-d-xo.html
Aldo gracias! Una vez que quede tapado el ducto de la EGR, ya no tiene caso, y También si eliminas ese cuerpo de aceleración se vuelve algo incomoda la camioneta al apagarla. Tú 2019 ya trae otro motor, el 4N15, así que puede venir diferente a mi 4D56
Best solution I've seen so far, because if you want to pass MOT you could just remove the blocking plate
I'm going crazy trying to find a video of some one doing this on a Volvo V70 p3 D5 turbo but this has helped me get a good idea of what I need to do

will it cost problem to the engine like what some will say ? will it blow the engine ?
Great job Sir, thank you...............clear and concise, had intermittent idling etc for a while in my isuzu, I shall do this in an hour
this is genuinely one of the best videos ive watched. very clear and easy to understand. will try this on my nissan patrol ZD30

That’s doesn’t make any sense. Good try.
May be a stupid question but I’m curious, why not remove the EGR valve completely and substitute for it with a new hose for the coolant?
Because it has an electric valve that will cause a check engine if missing

eddie No, this mod is to prevent it on the first place. You can have a shop clean all of what's clogged, and then block it off.
no check engine light after a while driving?
Nope
Can you do this to gas engines also, Or would there be any problems?
Yes, just locate the cold side of the EGR, its easier to work there
What gas engine has an EGR?
Compare nosotros en la industria de la tubería le dice “blind flange” saludos desde tejas...ever si se lo ago a mi Duramax dually 👍🏼
Hi tq for video. How is the performance and FC after few.months of blind egr pipe? How the engine temperature still.same i believe. Plz share. Tq
Everything is the same, no apreciable performance difference
Did you also remap the ECU or only blocked the EGR?
Nope, just blocked it
@@BadAssEngineering and did you get any fault codes? And did you notice any better performance or fuel consumption?

@@julese-p278 US Government takes civilian diesel engines and installs EGR blocking plates for their fleets. Seems to work well for them.
@@GoogleDoesEvil Which US Govt does that? Certainly the Federal Govt don't. I'd love to see your evidence of your claim.
Installing catch can oil or block this EGR which one is better for engine in long term? I plan to buy ranger raptor 2.0 so what is your suggestion. Thanks
Catch cans are for drag racing, they dont work for more than a couple of minutes at a time
This is a great video. Right to the point!
Better to make small hole in that metal to reduce sot but not to block completely
Sir,if you block the egr inlet it does affect the speed and power of the engine?
No, it shouldn't
@@BadAssEngineering how about catalytic converter if it get so hot?
Does this methode Reduce the lifespan of the catalytic?
@@ochaarul786 cat converters work best when hotter
Hola yo se que este video es un poco viejo pero acabo de comprar una L200 Diésel y quiero hacerle este procedimiento mi pregunta es cuánto plates ocupas solo uno? El que tapa la EGR?
Si solo 1, las nuevas L200 traen el motor 4N15 y también son fáciles de cancelar
No software or engine light to get it done ??
Not in my case
subscribed and thumbs up also
Will this throw a check engine light?? Thanks
Not in my experience
I'll be doing this with my 320d bmw Tomorrow
No error codes and power restriction?
nope
Can i put the blanking plate before the EGR solenoid valve ? will throw a CEL ?
I guess, it can be put wherever is easier to install, and not throw a CEL unless the truck has any kind of flow sensor on the EGR system
@@BadAssEngineering i m having 2018 hyundai Creta / ix25 with 1.6L CRDI diesel engine. Will it throw a CEL ?
Hi
I have l200 2018 with 4d56 engine
Does it work with this engine?
Yes, I recorded this video on my 2017 L200 with a 4D56, same engine, same truck
Hello sir.. question..
Ia ther any bad will happen in future if i block the egr on my ford ranger 2.2L??
I dont think so, but the beauty of this mod is that is very easy to put and remove
This mod will raise EGTs. Install a gauge and try it yourself.
I did block my EGR on my T6 ford ranger,
My fuel consumption befor 11.5L/100km and now it become 12L/100km,
And it feels much burden on the engine,just like Bob Rose said the max hp wont go to maximum..
should i remove the blocking plate?? Or is there any sugestion??
Joel Get it tuned by a reputable shop
BadAssEngineering..Ok.. Suggestion counted. :)
does it work on gas engines too? i wanna do it on my lancer ex GTA
Yes, same stuff
Check engine for sure
Can i make a blocking plate myself? Its just a metal plate right?
Den Yes, You can use the stock gasket as a template
@@BadAssEngineering thx. Im gonna do the same, probably need to remove it before inspection and i will get check engine light, but atleast my engine will last longer.

So where do the excess gases go?
Out the exhaust pipe where they belong
Can I Use Aluminium Blanking Plate 1.5mm thick ?
I would use steel, just because it would be cheaper
@@BadAssEngineering But can aluminium be used to blank the EGR ?
@@khanibrahim5947 depends on which part of the system, nearest to the intake manifold yes, near the exhaust manifold nope
@@BadAssEngineering I am currently using aluminium plate near the exhaust manifold between EGR Valve and pipe from the exhaust. Done around 400km and the aluminium plate is working good. Ambient temperature here is 30-35 Degree celcius.
@@khanibrahim5947 aluminum melting temp is lower than what a diesel exhaust temp can get, but if it has worked for you, great
Se necesita hacer re programación con este método?
No
Otra: donde conseguiste las placas?
But EGR off will produce more soot in to the DPF? Or not?
Not if if it's correctly tuned, my truck didn't have a DPF anyway
@@BadAssEngineering ok...
Is there more power?
Not Really, Maybe. Depends on mods and the ECU tune on your rig
Bad move to block EGR !! Engine will blow fast. To block EGR safer is to reprogram the ECU and disable the emission recirculation system from there !
LOOOOOL
Were diesel engines blowing before the egr was forced on people? Really?
