Remote Mount EGR for the MiniRam II ?
Hi Guys,
I am presently plumbing my new motor.
I do not need to pass a sniffer test. Hoever, I need to pass a visual.
Unfortunately, i do not have space for the TPIS EGR kit. The valve covers are too big for the kit to fit.
So, the idea is to build a remote EGR system.
I guess someone has been down this path before?
Suggestions?
1.
Should I chassis mount the valve and then use flexible SS Gas tube as couplers to the engine EGR hardline?
Similar to a 4th Gen with the LS.
2.
Other ideas?
Best Regards,
Bruce

Re: Remote Mount EGR for the MiniRam II ?
To my knowledge, the laws do not stipulate where the EGR valve is located.
I am thinking about creating an EGR valve block that is mounted over the cylinder #8 primary tube. The EGR input would come from the #6 primary. The EGR output would then route over the valve cover to the MiniRam II vacuum port. This solves a bunch of problems in routing hot tubes around the ECM harness.
Just to pass a visual.
However, the EGR plumbing is capable of full functionality.
Alternative ideas?
