Hi guys,

I've tried to do research on this and haven't gotten anywhere. i bought a downpipe for me 335D that is EGR and DPF deleted. can i put that in and just use a blanking plate on the EGR line that comes off the downpipe? or would i HAVE to do a full delete on EGR cooler and all? Thanks i'm advance for the help

I think you've got your terms all messed up. There is no EGR connection from the downpipe. The connection that goes to the EGR cooler comes from the manifold itself which remains untouched during a delete (Other then maybe using a blocker plate and removing the EGR cooler altogether).

oh interesting okay thank you. then off the MANIFOLD can i just block EGR or do i have to delete the cooler

You don't have to do anything. You can leave everything in place, the EGR is disabled by tuning. Or you can install a block off plate, cap some coolant lines and remove the cooler/EGR altogether. You've got some options.

would me putting in just one blocker plate and leaving everything else cause issues

Where exactly are you planning on putting this block off plate?

im not exactly sure but when i did the same thing on my truck i put it on the intake side of the EGR.

here is the link to the one i bought. maybe you can take a look at it and help me out. it's just a standard blanking plate for the EGR

Nictobin - As Linxguy said, Anything you do will be fine. When you tune the car for the EGR delete, the EGR will remain closed and you gain nothing by installing a blank off plate. Or you can install a blank off plate on either end of the EGR. At the exhaust manifold, at the intake just before the throttle plate, or both. I would be leary of installing plates without removing the cooler because there is no room for plates and you could cause stress loading on the cooler and cause it to crack do to the extra room needed to install the plates. The EGR coolers have been known to crack already due to stresses from heating up and cooling down (expand when hot - shrink when cool down). I think most people just remove the EGR cooler and block off the coolant lines going to the EGR cooler.

thank you for that input it was really helpful. i am getting a tune two weeks form now and already have a plate. would putting the plate on without a tune cause issues besides cracking the EGR cooler?

Do you have a plate or a full EGR delete? You either delete the cooler and EGR or just leave it all in place. There's no need to block anything unless you're ripping it all out.

This isn't a Duramax

that's exactly what i did on my duramax 😂 i just have plates not a full delete

I had a feeling, LBZ owner here lol!

Which EGR delete kit do you have? You'd be much better off leaving everything as is and getting a proper kit that will delete the EGR + cooler and come with all necessary block off plates/caps to do the job properly. I ran my fully deleted car with all the EGR crap in place for 100k, zero issues.

My son has a 335D deleted and tuned it is truly a fun enjoyable ride. I'm looking to pick one up myself.

buy my 335D it's not deleted or tuned yet but it's in prestine condition

Would it be possible to install EGR blanking kit with egr cooler still mounted?
In europe there are very restrictive law with this systems.

So my plan (as my EGR Cooler is broken and maybe leaking) is Remap ECU and turn EGR off, but also installing the Delete EGR kit (blanking plates and caps for coolant line)

Could it be possible? o i need to remove egr cooler to install the kit?

Thanks

No. You're either leaving everything in or you're ripping everything out. You are not installing a blocker kit and re-installing the EGR cooler.

Thanks you.

Was suspecting that...

So If I turn the EGR off by tuning de ECU, and my EGR Cooler is leaking a little bit...
What could happen?

Exhaust is not getting over the cooler, so i guess the coolant leak will stay inside the cooler and getting into the intake manifold?

[lnxguy]

You could cap the lines so no coolant is getting into the cooler at all. Are you worried about failing a visual inspection?

That is what i wanted to do, keep the EGR Cooler on place but blocking coolant lines. I guess they cant see it in a visual inspection ( they do them very quick ).

Do you know if I can find special caps for those coolant lines on the engine?

Thanks you.

[lnxguy]

All the caps will come in a delete kit.

Just found only the caps , Maybe Will give them a try.

Sweet. Are you gonna get them? Cuz I’m very curious if it works.
