K&N Intake kits - Page 2

Enough Josh, you persistent negative badgering on this topic is getting tiresome seeing you are just talking about an everyday occurence on ebay.

I purchased a VCR from a guy on ebay and it was missing a power cord.

So does that mean every VCR by that manufacturer sold on ebay will be crap?

I don't think so.

How about you ACTUALLY BUY a cold air intake for your truck and install it and then you can comment on how good a product is.

Until then, your weak and baseless opinion is counteracted by 1000s of people that own the intake and are perfectly happy.

Nope, but I am willing to discredit people that knew nothing about their truck three months ago and now post like they are some kind of professional in air intakes and 4.3L performance.

Do you understand how ridulous it is for you to say what cold air intakes are better than the others when you don't even own one yourself?

read my other message dope. and once again: GET A LIFE. You spend 99% of your time on this website being a dick. You don't even get PAID to be an Admin on here! That IS worth laughing over.

"I've had K&N intake kits with almost every vehicle I've owned. I've seen what the Ebay/AutoZone cheapo's look like. I've read complaints about them over and over. I've gotten specific information FROM the companies selling them that advocates my quams with them, whether it be inadequate fits, failures to be street legal, flimsey parts, complaints about poor service, filters falling apart etc......Don't tell me I don't know what I'm talking about when over and over again I've given you LEGIT reasons as to WHY it's not wise to purchase the cheap ones off Ebay....and everytime you run your mouth about it. You ARE wrong. You say you admit when you are......prove it. You ALREADY look like an idiot for contesting it over and over. You're like some thick headed kid that sits there shaking his head no when somebody keeps showing them why they're wrong."

Due to your lack of civility, insults and immaturity, you have definitely earned a one month ban from these forums.

See you in a month's time.

In missouri your test depends on if they have to fail you to meet your quota, its crap. I can fail miserably at one station and go to the next and pass flying colors. emission tests are useless. Hear that "scientists" have done "reserch" to find that diesel engines are very harmful to the air? Is it a coincidence that they also just come up with a emissions test for diesel engines? Friggin epa, sorry had to rant a little. Pardon my bad spelling.

Let it out Brotha!

Yeah, I've been researching a little bit on the EGR. Apparently it has no performance value and is just a plot by the EPA to numb our engines down. I'm no expert at all, but it sounds like it sorta sucks. Apparently, 2003 and 2004 blazers don't have EGR's but have performance tuning to reduce some gases. I wish I could get some of that.

No, the EGR can actually help performance by lowering combustion temperatures which reduces computer timing retardation which is caused when the combustion temperatures get too high and detonation and pinging occurs.

yes, i agree. some of the emissions equipment is benifical like helping with fuel economy but as stated some of them just cause us problems *cough catalytic converter *cough. also it is my understanding for the converter to work "as intended" it would have to reach tempatures near 700 degrees

EGR flow causes a weaker combustion, limiting your performance. It does help for emissions, at the price of performance. Thats why there are there EGR mods - even our trucks. High performance engines and engine builders try to avoid the EGR almost at all costs. Even intakes can be purchased with a EGR block, or no EGR port at all.

Again, no, EGR does not hinder performance.

A properly running EGR system only runs when you are at cruising rpms and shuts off when you floor it and when the engine is at low idle.

Without the EGR system functioning on a vehicle DESIGNED to have it, your engine will actually retard the timing to counteract the pinging caused by the raised combustion temperatures.

So then why are there EGR mods...even for these trucks,or aftermarket intakes for older/high performance cars that do not have an EGR port located in it? If it was such a performance improver, why are they taken out, working or not working?

chcknugget · #29 03-23-2005, 08:57 PM

I've heard that newer blazers do not have egrs. Can anyone with a 2003 or 2004 blazer verify this?

Please remember I was talking about an engine DESIGNED to have EGR flow.

You can't compare a normal engine with a race engine.
