Do you need a tune for EGR delete?

Do you need a tune for EGR delete?

Yes you will need one, I think your CEL will come on as well as you possibly will lose mpg because your truck has it programmed to accept the egr gasses when driving. A retune will just give you all those mpg back since you have it tuned differently. EGR doesn’t give mpg but removing it you will lose unless tuned.

Can a custom EGR delete be used on a diesel?

Custom tuning can bring everything back into proper function with an egr delete, and a using an SCT X3 type tuner with a custom heavy tow tune will make the truck run very well. A functional egr system on a diesel is designed to help lower peak combustion temps in the cylinders to help control the formation of nitrogen oxide gasses(NOX).

What happens with the EGR off in tune?

However, with the egr turned off in a tune, and “still retaining the egr cooler”, you will still have the same “hot exhaust pressure gasses” that drive the turbine wheel of the turbo, pressurizing and dead heading in the egr cooler. Egr delete, you are removing the egr cooler, and rerouting a coolant bypass plumbing pipe in it’s place.

Which is the best EGR cooler to delete?

SCT is the best on 6.0L no question. You can actually weld freeze plugs in the end of the egr cooler and it still looks stock that way. You want the sct x4 programmer. Freeze plugs have been known to corrode away and then you have no more delete. I would go with something more permanent.

Can a non EGR truck burn clean without smoke?

It also helps the coolant itself maintain a better condition as its not subjected to those temps. In a way you have slightly enlarged your cooling system with an egr delete. With proper tuning, a non egr truck can burn clean without any smoke, pull heavy loads and maintain proper fluid and exhaust temps.

Is the EGR delete on my Ford truck working?

The truck ran great! A few months later I put an airaid intake and did an egr delete on it. After the egr delete it has not been running right. I returned it to stock and then tried both the canned street tune and tow tune on it. The transmission shifts hard and the truck lacks power. Does anyone have any insight on this?

What are the cons of an EGR delete kit?

List of the Cons of EGR Delete Kits 1. An EGR delete kit can increase your exhaust gas temperature. Diesel engines typically cool the exhaust gases generated, then recirculate them back into the system.

What does EGR stand for in diesel engine?

EGR stands for “exhaust gas recirculation.” You can purchase EGR delete kits to improve the performance of your diesel engine. EGR systems will reduce the nitrous oxide emissions because it recirculates some of the exhaust gases through the engine intake. This process keeps the engine cool while maintaining…

Can a custom Tuner be used on an EGR system?

This is because a functional egr system is designed to work with the turbo and fuel program mapping with stock tuning. Custom tuning can bring everything back into proper function with an egr delete, and a using an SCT X3 type tuner with a custom heavy tow tune will make the truck run very well.
