Wow...great work Iaknown. That looks like an impressive piece. Really like the recessed design for the flared edge to recede into so as to minimize forward spacing. I'm by no means a metallurgist, but what temps do you expect this piece will see as it is right there off the manifold and near the turbos? Assume this piece is robust enough to deal with the temps?
Great work!!!! |

Iaknown, are you able to provide a SolidWorks file or just .pdf output of such to someone interested making their own. Of course at a promise that it shall not be commercialized. Just saves taking things apart for measurement.

By the way, we are using a similar but thinner plate on the EGR block offs for our Powerstrokes....which make 600+hp and over 1100 ft lb of torque. The metal will hold up just fine :-)

Yeah I'm definitely still interested. I'm starting on another unrelated project right now that's going to take up all my tinkering time for a while so if you are looking to get feedback on it you should probably send one off to someone else.

very excited to see this taking shape! once we start to see some more established results, this will most likely be the first "modification" to mine once the factory warranty lapses. keep up the good work!

Thanks Iaknown, I will install mine as soon as I map a template for the block off plate on the EGR side. Will do it this weekend, then Solidworks and then manufacture. Then I can install both, EGR side and Cooler Inlet side. Like your design very much. Can wait for fitment testing though.

I would be happy to participate in test fitting if you can spare one. By then I shall have the other block off plate made and will fit them together. Pictures, measurements, evaluation is to be provided of course. I'm in Vancouver, Canada (West Coast, 2 hrs from Seattle), but have a US shipping address so it is cheaper to ship and can pay for shipping of course. Let me know and I shall PM my address to you.

Would it be possible for you to make one with a small opening in the middle of the cap, basically just reduce the stock EGR flow by ~60%. Maybe this way the OBD system will not trip, there will be some EGR helping with warming up the car, but reduced enough to maybe prolong/prevent excessive build up? I'd be willing to try it out. Thanks |

You say outlet, I assume you mean outlet at the exhaust manifold or inlet of the actual cooler. That would make the most sense because I believe the outlet of the cooler (near the EGR valve) is larger than this?? You tell me. And PM me your address as well.

Regarding sizing, I gave you the wrong formula, lol. To reduce the cross sectional area by 60%, it should be based off [0.6•(Pie•r^2)]. Or if you tell me the outlet diameter I can calculate it for you. PM sent. Thanks, |
