egr question please respond

[trimmertrail]

I'm in the middle of installing a header from jt outfitters . What do I do with the egr pipe???

 

[WristPin]

some companys offer non emission and emission hedders.
i take it, you got the non emission hedder.
that pipe really should be connected.
overly hot combustion chamber tempuratures can cause damage, as a result of no EGR.

you could just drill a hole in #6 down tube and have a pipe welded in and ireconnect the "EGR" cooller tube

thats what we came up for one of our 60's

 

[candograge]

haven't done yet but soon let us know how it works

This may be a dumb question, but,
how does returning hot exhaust gases to the combustion chamber
reduce the temperature there???

 

[soggy60]

Incomplete combuston of the gas/air mix . . .

Exhaust gas cooled of on it's way back to intake manifold . . .

Overly hot combustion temps will melt pistons.

BUT, running a Cruiser engine w/ EGR switched off (or completely removed) will not cause damage, but will have positive effects.

-The combustion temperature is raised up to something reasonable, so carbon and trash is burned off the plugs and chamber.
-less pollution of the oil and cylinder wear due to reduced particulate pollution in the cylinder.
-less carbon in the atmospher due to increased fuel efficiency.

To acheive piston melting temperatures requires some serious screwups in the fuel & ignition department.
