egr intake

[razorbaq]

I have a 4.3 s-10 I was wanting to put a duel plane possibly edelbrock intake on. My old intake has a egr valve and it's been causing me problems. I was wondering if I can put a non-egr intake on it?

You can... but probably shouldn't. You'll get less gas mileage, run hotter, and pollute more. All that with no performance gain. You'll also have the SES light on constantly with no way to turn it off. Of course you'd also have to find something to plug the hole in the exhaust. I would personally get one with EGR and just fix the problem with the system.

Yea I think your right I'll just get a new egr valve and a egr edlebrock manifold, Thanks.

Someone was telling me theres some stuff called C balm or something like that, He said it cleans the carbon out of your egr system. I dont know if its true or not has anyone else heard about this?

I believe they were talking about a product called "sea foam". I have never used it, but have seen on several post's where it has been used in the gas tank, oil, and intake. If you have the engine pulled apart clean it up the best you can first.
