Thanks mate, Did mine today and noticed power gain with reduced turbo lag, almost non existent. I have to say most of my mods been inspired by you. Thanks again from South Africa 😊.
@@richardfranklin1495 I have blanked off the EGR between the cooler and the valve. So essentially no gases pass through the valve. The bottom end where the removed pipe attached is just open. I suppose one can make a plate "using the old gasket removed there as a template" to close it off, but do not see a need.
@@daniellouw9798 Been good hey. Noticable gains, no turbo lag. Worth it mate. Felt it more driving from JHB to DBN through the farms in Standerton, then back on the N3, felt like was driving a sedan lol!
I blocked my 2013 Ranger manual egr when it was all but new and cut off the inlet pipe and there was a noticeable improvement to both bottom and top ends of the rev range.
Thanks from Malaysia 🇲🇾 I'm new here..thank you for your explanation. We do have the same vatiant and spec ford ranger here. I want to do the same for my ranger but still learning on the go.
Just did the egr blanking plate. Also removed the egr pipe and closed the manifold. All I did was cut the pipe where it enters the plastic section of the manifold, removed it, welded the plate closed and reinstalled.
Do you need bypass hoses doing this mod or can you just take out steel pipe and and block it with plate. Do gas from valve just go out in atmosphere is that correct
If you take out the EGR steel pipe you need 2x blanking plates. The blanking plate between EGR and Cooler and then the plate on the 90 degree plastic pipe shown in the video. Personally I would blank off between the exhaust header and cooler as well.
@@G_MAN_325 I assume that you prefer doing the exhaust blank to prevent the risk of the "radiator pipes" rusting and leaking water into the intake manifold? Is there another reason?
@@Groot_G It is best to block before and after the EGR cooler as it is prone to failure. 2 scenarios: 1. Coolant goes out of exhaust 2. Coolant goes into combustion chamber.
Great video, thank you! Can you tell me what you did with the actual EGR pipe that came out of the intake manifold after blocking off that point? I want to do this fix. Cheers
Cheapest to just blank off between EGR and cooler and exhaust header and cooler. For removal and blanking off its more time consuming, need other blank off plates and hoses for re routing coolant.
Squire. What happens if you blank both sides of the braided pipe off? In other words, after the EGR valve instead of in front of it. Will it have the same practical effect? Perhaps it it easier to fit the blanking plate before the valve instead of after it.
I’m in the process of doing this now. I didn’t feel comfortable cutting it off completely. I have it blanked in two spots already. There is no harm is having it pushed over to the side right?
I have a pre dpf 2016 Ford Ranger PX2 does the bypass work the same as a px1 or different? Just wanna know before I start removing the egr from the truck Keep up the great content on the Ford Ranger mate
by bocking egr from entering the engine cilynders, those will run hotter,,so engine coolant gets that much hotter? how hotter went your coolant temps??
Do you have to have the plug connected with this thing spinning in no man's land to avoid code? I've never been able to work out how to get rid of it. Id like to piss it off instead of cable tieing it but not sure how. My car was tuned to have egr delete but the egr cooler still killed my first motor.
If you've blanked the exhaust manifold side, then nothing will flow through, and around. So it's *just there*. I suppose if you left it open nothing will happen, if you go through a water crossing it'll probably fill with water, but that won't cause any damage. Like old mate said, you could block it off if you really want to, or just leave it.
@gman9552 coolant won't escape if it cracks if you've re routed the cooler hose to completely bypass the egr cooler. I've blocked both and rerouted the hoses, now it's just "there" to look pretty.
Hi im new here. Got a 2016 3.2 auto. Why do you blank the egr system? Does it really more beneficial than the original system? At what percentage? (Estimate only). I cant decide whether to blank or keep the original system. Thanks for replying. Im fr Philippines 😊
Notice if your MAP is going into vacuum now? 2016 on Ranger closes the throttle body to induce EGR flow. Without the available flow, manifold pressure goes negative and exhaust temps rise due to low airflow
He had the EGR blanked previously. So the blanking done in this video, to the intake, was an addition blanking plate. This one was done to remove where the EGR would normally come out, causing a 40% reduction of airflow.
They go out the exhaust, only some of the gasses are recycled to to the intake manifold via the EGR valve. If the valve is no longer opening, it all goes out the spout.
If you take out the 13mm bolt that holds the egr tube and remove the 3 10 mm bolts that hold it on the manifold can you put the blanking plate in without undoing the manifold bolts ?
My EGR valve has stuck shut and the vehicle has gone into limp mode. Do I need to remove and clean the EGR valve or can I do this mod and disconnect it or use a delete cable? Looks like a lot of work getting it off. And I'm lazy lol
pop off the black plastic valve that has the plug going to it and spray some brake cleaner down it, free it up using a flat screwdriver, would take 15 minutes, watch my "common fault codes causing limp mode" vid to know what im talking about.
@@abdautomotive Thanks mate, did that, had to buy a T27 Tork Tee handle to get the inside rear screw (Socket wouldn't fit between the stepper motor body and the inlet manifold), lifted it off, got the plunger moving again, all fixed now. Cheers 👍
Bro I have one question. I over 2014 Ford Ranger as well? Driving the other day on the highway and the oil just exploded . White smoke clean straight from the exhaust pipe and oil dripping all over the highway. Wood u know what this is cause by

Thanks for your content, just to confirm the egr valve still works as normal and can cause limp mode when malfunctions? Have you heard of the cable bypass? Are they worth looking into? Keep up the great work, thank you
Can the factory egr bit that goes into the intake be just cut off so it still looks factory ? And do u leave the egr plugged in ?? Maybe it could be your next handy experiment
But should one delete their EGR? ua-cam.com/video/Bnpj4eIo6nI/v-deo.html This video covers a lot of background on the EGRs, and it's probably a more complex topic than many think.

My mechanic wanted over $2k for a blank, part of is was a ECU reprogramming, is that needed?
Have you noticed any power increase or better fuel consumption since doing the mod?
yes
Great video, thank you!
Can you tell me what you did with the actual EGR pipe that came out of the intake manifold after blocking off that point?

Should you remove the whole egr system as well as the pipe?
. Or do you not need to?

if you have the bottom plate installed what if you were to cut off the metal part that is going into the intake and causing the restriction?
Yea, just grind it off. Should have the same end result?

This has been quite interesting thanks.
@ABD Automotive Do you have a EGR blocker for a 1993-1997 Ranger 3.0 engine?
Hey great video, But I have a question do you still have to put a blanking plate on the actual EGR cooler itself or will only this one do the job.
both plates on
Do you have to have the plug connected with this thing spinning in no man's land to avoid code? I've never been able to work out how to get rid of it. Id like to piss it off instead of cable tieing it but not sure how. My car was tuned to have egr delete but the egr cooler still killed my first motor.
Don't you have a motor fault that appears when you do this? should it be done electronically in the ECU?
Whats the longevity of having this over the years without any issues
Thanks for sharing. how hard is it to get at while engine is in the car? Thanks. where did you get the delete kit from please?
eBay
search Ford PX PX2 Ranger Mazda BT50 Engine 3.2L 2.2L Blanking Plate Full Blank Kit
What do you do with opening that’s left at the other end after removing the tube?
I keep checking in for the answer too.
i just left it as is, you could blank it with the same plate
If you've blanked the exhaust manifold side, then nothing will flow through, and around. So it's *just there*. I suppose if you left it open nothing will happen, if you go through a water crossing it'll probably fill with water, but that won't cause any damage.

@@aydantaylor7074 I would blank both sides if the coolant hoses was not rerouted. If the EGR cooler cracks, coolant will then escape out the open end.

What year will this work for?
I’ve got a 2016 PK2 Ranger and have been quoted $1600 to replace the EGR 😬

Do we have to remove all that pipe work from the vehicle. Can we not just do it without removing it from the vehicle?
Notice if your MAP is going into vacuum now? 2016 on Ranger closes the throttle body to induce EGR flow. Without the available flow, manifold pressure goes negative and exhaust temps rise due to low airflow
your EGR closes at anything above 30% throttle
@abandonedautomotive true but thats not the majority of the time. Cruising will see high cylinder temps.
@@Huskydog78 i sit at 250 degrees cruising on the highway, thats not high temps
Yeah ok temps. Mine were 400+ when the MAP went negative. Just out of interest, is your MAP doing the same?
@@Huskydog78 what do you mean by MAP?
Do you need to blank off on the EGR side as well? Or can that vent to atmosphere
He had the EGR blanked previously. So the blanking done in this video, to the intake, was an addition blanking plate. This one was done to remove where the EGR would normally come out, causing a 40% reduction of airflow.
so.. where do the exhaust gases go that were going into there? Or do they come OUT of there?
They go out the exhaust, only some of the gasses are recycled to to the intake manifold via the EGR valve. If the valve is no longer opening, it all goes out the spout.
Hi. Do I still need to clog it if the EGR was programmed off?
So the valve gonna be closed anyway
Do we need to remap the engine before blocking the EGR?
If you take out the 13mm bolt that holds the egr tube and remove the 3 10 mm bolts that hold it on the manifold can you put the blanking plate in without undoing the manifold bolts ?
I believe so. Rather unsettle the EGR cooler than cause an exhaust air leak...
just did this on my 2012 bt50 any idea why it would be throwing a p0405 error code
Hi, I have watched most of your videos and they are full of very useful information. Thanks for this! Are you happy with this car after all?
Yes, definitely
Bought a 99 b4000 a couple months ago and the egr was just welded shut
Can you do this on a 2017/18 PX2? There seems to be limited information and everyone says it'll go into limp mode?
i will do a px2/3 video regarding EGR blanking in the next few weeks
Can't wait for it 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🎉
So glad my ranger doesn't have it . 🎉
Great video btw
How many km's ago did you remove the EGR pipe and have you had any issues?
@@wadehughes8986 My ranger is from Ford south Africa. They come from factory with no EGR or dpf
Next make a video for fuel filter change, thanks mate.
already done
hey mate whats your take on blocking the egr and egts increasing too much on the 3.2?
im actually in the process of making a video regarding this as it's a common question, i think it's misinformation and i'll explain why in the video.
sounds good. I can't see how by improving combustion by removing exhaust gases can increase egt

don't need to modify the software from pcm?
Not on px1. On px2 I am not sure. Px3 models the plate has a hole so you still need the EGR pipe.
