I want to do the EGR delete, and want to know if I can shut it off in the tune without going to the dyno tuner?
I've got and SCT Xcal II, could I do this at home?

EGR delete and Tune?

i know if you do the egr delete you have to send your tune to diablo to get the egr completly out of the tune.i was also told if you leave the electrical connectors still plugged in to the sensors and you only remove the vacuum lines and the egr you will not get a cel light on.
Dang, that's what I was afraid of. I'm in NC now, but my tuner is in Cali. Still have the handheld, but I guess it does me no good, I can't send a copy of the tune from the tuner to a locale tuner. I guess it will give me even more of and excuse to get a new dyno tune over here on the east coast.

egr delete increases combustion chamber temperature which causes detonation right? so why do it?

Interesting cause I just ordered one. thinking of whether to install it now. Does anyone have more info on this? Safe or Not?
Proof please.
otherwise explain how injecting hot exhaust gasses directly from your header into your intake, lowers your intake temps please.
without the EGR youll see slightly lower intake temps
Ever since i put my blower on i have been runing withOUT a EGR. Got the plate from sprayitracing.com. I have had ZERO PROBLEMS!!!

It was cheaper for me to just delete it than buy all the EGR crap for the Lightning to put on my motor so i just desided to delete it.
I dont have to worry about inspections so that works even better, it also makes changing plugs a little easier! So it was win win for me.

Yeah, just want to clean up the bay and make things easier to work with under the hood.
I deleted mine about two months ago, and no cel yet
I would say no, in fact i would say that it helps to prevent it. Cause there is no longer any hot exhaust air being put into the intake, keeping the IAT2's lower.
Wayne
i could see your point in that. but how hot do you think the exhaust gases are coming from the egr tube.what annoyes me is if im crusning in od i get this bucking feeling and if i disconnect the egr,the feeling goes away.so im kinda undecided weither to do it or not aswell. sorry for the hijack.
There's probably a hundred or more guys that have deleted the EGR system on their Lightnings over the years and have not reporting any problems. Some report getting a CEL until they have the EGR system turned off in their tune - and some say they didn't get it. I know that many "tunes" done on a dyno when they did it - but disabled the EGR system and "did not" change anything in their tune to accomodate it.
Keep in mind that when properly operating, the EGR system "does not" function under WOT, so generally speaking if you didn't have any detonation problems before, under WOT conditions, you shouldn't have any upon disabling the EGR system.

I've been running with no EGR system for about 5 years on my 01L with no problems. However, when I deleted mine I also had headers installed and had a dyno tune so I couldn't say for sure if there is any downside to just deleting the egr system. But I think if you do a "search" on here, or on the NLOC site, I don't think you'll find anyone who reported any detonation problems after doing it.
However usually when guys do this change, they've also done several other mod's to their engine before this, and have had several tunes done or chips installed, so probably not many have done this to a strictly stock engine and ran it hard to see if any detonation occurs on a stock engine that might be attributed to it.

guys, the EGR delete is a COMPLETELY COSMETIC mod, it has no performance gains over removing it, it does NOT lower temps, it is only an emission thing.
FLSVT that bucking problem is ur EGR... take that ugly thing out of there haha
