What are undies?

You mean Throttle Body Cover ?

And who's battleing ?

 

Thank you, thats what I thought, but , if you don't understand it then you shouldnt remove it.

 

I'm only using fords parts explosion for descriptions, sorry.

 

So who has removed it that doesn't understand it ?

Gee , thanx for your lesson

 

Let me put it this way, If someone removes it, that person doesn't understand it. Otherwise you wouldn't remove it. That's just logic. I never said YOU did or HE did.

UM, your welcome for the lesson, not that I tried teaching anything to you. I normaly charge for that.

 

Not necessarily, Nah , that's not totally true . It sounds like you better keep yours on there tho - definitely...

As for the rest of your comment (teaching) - I prolly forgot more than you'll ever know ..

BTW - No Charge 4 that one .

 

At least one person understands EGR operation and the chemistry of combustion.

I do not understand why this otherwise great website supports illegal modifications by even printing posts about removing smog equipment.

I know its a free country but without EPA the US was being turned into a giant toxic waste site.

 

The explanation is more involved that I gave in my eariler reply but is all true and correct.
Ford also started the same in 1973 with a plate under the carb.
Chrysler used ports in the floor of the intake manifold.
It's unfortunate, the young horses don't want to hear this and will still argue the point out of ignorance, after it is explained.
Every Ford motor design dosn't have EGR nor do 'all' other designs.
The reason is the combustion chamber design, compression and cam timeing is so good, EGR is not needed to come in under the EPA limits for the year.
Two examples of this is the 88 Bronco II 2.9L v6 and the 97-2001 Explorer/Mountianeer/Mazda 5L motors.
The 3 valve motors are being worked on to eliminate the EGR by using variable valve timing and other changes, for the future.

 

I guess im breaking the law, dont know what im doing, hurting my engine, heck, i've never had a valve cover off, i dont have a clue what im doing

 

A typical response to cover ignerance.

 

Hey built54 - maybe you don't need a tune - you just need a freakin EGR

This thread is cracking me up...

HEY, I know what my EGR does - I also know that you DON'T need it. Choke on those apples ..

 

same here bud, tree huggers just tell ya this stuff, not trying to make enemies here, but YOU DONT NEED IT! lightning after lightning, egr then deleting it, back to back on the dyno shows NO gains and NO loss. I'm not arguing with that, I still passed emissions and it cleans up the engine, keep it if you want it, but your not going to convince me.

 

not a tree hugger- just healthy respect for the environment and quality of life and air. ever have a close relative die because of pollution caused lung disease?

 

One problem is they don't want to understand, most of them sound like,"If a magazine says it, I must need it". Or, "If it shines, it must make it go faster". Then you get people like us that know more, try to explain and get crucified for it and then tell ya they forgot more then I ever learned. Oh by the way jbrew, it is spelled "Probably" not Prolly, have a few more "brews", then learn how to spell. Most likely one of the things you forgot.

 

Yeaaaa.. I don't know how to spell.... - you really think that?

You prolly do.. You really got me on that one - congrats

I feel so freakin "Poned" .. Huh , feels kinduh tingly
