i had a reconditioned head shiped to me and the egr valve hole is solid. do i need this for any real reson? can i just leave it off ????

 

Its because the head is from a newer neon, not a 95-99. It will still work. The EGR is for emissions, first question is will the car need to pass emissions? If the answer is no then you can delete the EGR, it will just leave a CEL light unless you put a resistor in the plug. You will need to block off the hole on the intake manifold also either use a quarter or something, or the actual EGR block off kit from Modern performance or similar. If your using a 2nd gen intake manifold then you wont need to block anything.

 

yes my car has to be tested every other year. and i dont want it to run like crap afterwords but the problem is i am starting to pull it this next sat and will be hopefully (cross fingers )will be done by following sunday with full rebuild will upload befor and after when done lots of new parts but the head came from florida and i live in idaho to long of a wait to get a differnt one so how can i make this work ?

 

It wont make it run like crap, its for emissions. But without the EGR it will not pass emissions unless you know the person doing the test. You could pay a machine shop to drill the holes and tap them maybe if you have the old head as a template. I have never seen anyone add an EGR to the newer style head, so I am not even sure if its possible. Sorry.

 

So what kinda resistor do I need to get to bypass it

 

It wont bypass it, it will just make it so the CEL isnt on. The exhaust gas temp may not pass emission still .The EGR is Exhaust Gas recirculation. It takes unburned gas from the exhaust and puts it back into the intake. Check this out. I think its a 10w resistor. http://www.neongoodies.com/Goodies/E...EGr_Elim.shtml
