I have an EGR delete kit, but until there is evidence that there is a benefit to doing this I took what another member "SNIPERDOG" did and ran with it. Here is a short write-up. I probably left a few things out, but you will get the idea. This was done on a Whipple, but it should be nearly the same for KB's and Eatons alike. All of the vac lines will reach, but you will need to extend all of the wires (4). I do not know what most of this stuff is called, so if someone knows, please let me know and I will edit the thread.
Here is a picture of the blower with everything still mounted to the side. (ugly)
A close up..
I began by moving everything that was not going to be relocated out of the way.
Next, I began removing everything from the bracket.
Remove the bracket.
Cut away all of the tape and remove the convoluted tubing from around the vac lines and wires.
Pop the cowl off and lay it back across your windshied (or undo the washer fluid lines and remove it from the car completely) I left it hooked up and just put some soft towels underneath the cowl to keep it from damaging the paint of the A-pillars.
Here is a shot with the cowl lifted up, and the vac lines and wires unsheathed.
There is a hard plastic tube that runs from a port on the drivers side and attaches to a soft rubber hose mounted to the passenger side shock tower. I did away with the hard tube and used a 3/8th ID rubber vac line and reduced it to a 3/16 ID and attached it to the port that was located on the drivers side, but will soon be under the cowl. You will see what I am talking about when you start the project
Drill two 1/8" pilot holes through the lower cowl and through the firewall. I then followed these holes with a 1/2" bit.
I then fished the vac lines and the wires through one hole, and the 3/16th rubber vac tube that I added, through the second hole. I then made all of my electrical connections using butt connectors. Then put everything that was on the bracket into the cowl, plugged in all of the vac lines and plugged in the electrical adapters. I also fastened everything in place with zip ties so that they would not rattle or move around under the cowl.
Next I mounted the square box with the single wired plug and two vac lines that was mounted to the very back of the accessory bracket to the firewall with self tapping 3/4 inch sheet metal screws.
Wrap up all of the exposed vac lines and wires with black electrical tape and fasten them down to the convoluted tubing that contains the wiring for the injectors.
Here is a side shot of the completed work.
Here is a pic of all the junk that was removed. Most of it is in the garbage now.
I did not take any shots of everything all buttoned up, but I covered all of the vac line and wires that were running from the rear of the blower and into the cowl with black electrical tape and convoluted tubing.
