Thanks from Malaysia 🇲🇾 I'm new here..thank you for your explanation. We do have the same vatiant and spec ford ranger here. I want to do the same for my ranger but still learning on the go.

This has been quite interesting thanks.

Thanks mate, Did mine today and noticed power gain with reduced turbo lag, almost non existent. I have to say most of my mods been inspired by you. Thanks again from South Africa 😊.

What did you do with the other opening left after removing the tube?

@michael.mncube

4 ай бұрын

@@richardfranklin1495 I have blanked off the EGR between the cooler and the valve. So essentially no gases pass through the valve. The bottom end where the removed pipe attached is just open. I suppose one can make a plate "using the old gasket removed there as a template" to close it off, but do not see a need.

Great video, thanks for sharing

If you take out the 13mm bolt that holds the egr tube and remove the 3 10 mm bolts that hold it on the manifold can you put the blanking plate in without undoing the manifold bolts ?

Great video, thank you! Can you tell me what you did with the actual EGR pipe that came out of the intake manifold after blocking off that point? I want to do this fix. Cheers

So what about the other hole near the egr valve, do we need to block that too?

What year will this work for? I’ve got a 2016 PK2 Ranger and have been quoted $1600 to replace the EGR 😬

Whats the longevity of having this over the years without any issues

Hi. Do I still need to clog it if the EGR was programmed off? So the valve gonna be closed anyway

I have a pre dpf 2016 Ford Ranger PX2 does the bypass work the same as a px1 or different? Just wanna know before I start removing the egr from the truck Keep up the great content on the Ford Ranger mate

Do we have to remove all that pipe work from the vehicle. Can we not just do it without removing it from the vehicle?

Do we need to remap the engine before blocking the EGR?

Love the new intro ✝️🇻🇦🫡

buena idea,muchas gracias.

just did this on my 2012 bt50 any idea why it would be throwing a p0405 error code

Hi, I have watched most of your videos and they are full of very useful information. Thanks for this! Are you happy with this car after all?

Yes, definitely

Do you need bypass hoses doing this mod or can you just take out steel pipe and and block it with plate. Do gas from valve just go out in atmosphere is that correct

@gman9552

Ай бұрын

If you take out the EGR steel pipe you need 2x blanking plates. The blanking plate between EGR and Cooler and then the plate on the 90 degree plastic pipe shown in the video. Personally I would blank off between the exhaust header and cooler as well.

Just did the egr blanking plate. Also removed the egr pipe and closed the manifold. All I did was cut the pipe where it enters the plastic section of the manifold, removed it, welded the plate closed and reinstalled.

Bought a 99 b4000 a couple months ago and the egr was just welded shut

How do you go for registration?

I blocked my 2013 Ranger manual egr when it was all but new and cut off the inlet pipe and there was a noticeable improvement to both bottom and top ends of the rev range.

@01eddielawson

They go out the exhaust, only some of the gasses are recycled to to the intake manifold via the EGR valve. If the valve is no longer opening, it all goes out the spout.

Should you remove the whole egr system as well as the pipe? . Or do you not need to? Cheers

Cheapest to just blank off between EGR and cooler and exhaust header and cooler. For removal and blanking off its more time consuming, need other blank off plates and hoses for re routing coolant.

He had the EGR blanked previously. So the blanking done in this video, to the intake, was an addition blanking plate. This one was done to remove where the EGR would normally come out, causing a 40% reduction of airflow.

Can you do this on a 2017/18 PX2? There seems to be limited information and everyone says it'll go into limp mode?

If you've blanked the exhaust manifold side, then nothing will flow through, and around. So it's *just there*. I suppose if you left it open nothing will happen, if you go through a water crossing it'll probably fill with water, but that won't cause any damage. Like old mate said, you could block it off if you really want to, or just leave it.
