Can a custom Tuner be used on an EGR system?

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.

Can a hptuner turn off the EGR delete code?

HPTuners can turn off the code as well. I already had it for my Trans Am but it is not the preferred software for the diesel community. It is the preferred for the LS community in my opinion though.

Why does a diesel engine need an EGR system?

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). NOX is formed at combustion temps above 2500F, but this only happens for a split second and will be dramatically cooled by the time it exits into the exhaust manifold.

What happens when you delete the EGR cooler?

When you delete the egr cooler, and still use factory programming, the truck will actually lose some power and be in a mild detuned state. This is because a functional egr system is designed to work with the turbo and fuel program mapping with stock tuning.

HPTuners can turn off the code as well. I already had it for my Trans Am but it is not the preferred software for the diesel community. It is the preferred for the LS community in my opinion though.

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.

Is it illegal to delete an EGR cooler?

An EGR delete is ILLEGAL in ALL 50 STATES. All vehicles are required to meet federal emissions standards. The penalty for an emissions component alteration can be in the thousands of dollars. HERE IS THE BULLETPROOF SOLUTION! CONSIDER: BulletProof EGR Coolers are extremely reliable.
