The most inexpensive way to keep carbon and soot build up from occurring the DISI engine.

So just to clarify -The stock bolts for the egr blockoff can be used and will fit? -The plug is threaded for the other end? its hard to tell from the pic...is it a hex headed plug or some shit? will be ordering soon |

Thanks, Jamie |
ordered will be anxiously awaiting the passenger and tranny mount...feel like leaking any info on that? |
Just to clarify, this is a nice option since with the SU one I stripped a bolt because of it being too thick... |

I ordered one also. Thanks for making products that actually enhance the car, rather than f*ing it up. |
I know the AP can remove the p0401 code that this will cause, but I read that even though the code is not shown, that the cel will still show. Is that still right? cel's drive me crazy. |
Quote:
I'd be surprised if the cel still showed. I ordered the block off, and after installing will remember to post the result. |
CEL does NOT show. No light, nothing shows. I also heard this before I did it, and it is false information. If you untoggle a CEL in ATR it will not show once you have flashed that map to the ECU |
ive been getting the egr insufficient flow cel..... my shits clogging on its own, might not need a block off plate soon |
wow.. great price !! i paid more for just a plate and had to go spend more for the plug for the manifold.. i didnt know you made these.......:( |

FYI There are no install directions for the EGR kits yet. I think it's pretty obvious I've been very busy and I just have not had the time to run through the install again, take the pictures and write it up. Sorry about that. |
i'm pretty sure there's one somewhere around here for an egr block off. peeps can search.. edit: it's here the link is for egr cleaning, but if you can't figure out how to block it off from that post you should pay someone to do it. |
This looks like a really simple but necessary mod to keep your engine cleaner inside. Just ordered one! Question, is the plate intended to be used inline with the egr pipe without the plug OR with only the plate and plug and no egr pipe. IF we want to use it in line so that the guys at the emissions place don't notice anything different, will we need to use some type of sealant on the back of the plate to keep from getting air leaks into the intake manifold? Thanks for making a cheap simple fix for our cars! *any idea how long we should expect it to take to get these? |
Wow, ordered it less than an hour ago, and already have a shipping confirmation email. Now that is what i call a pleasure doing business! |
I would use a gasket sealant whether you retain the pipe or not. RTV silicone red or copper. |
This is a little off topic but with the gasket sealer are you supposed to put it on the surface to be sealed, put it in place and wait for it to dry for a while before torquing down, or do you put it on, put everything together and torque right away? I did the later on my Camaro intake manifold, and it leaks a bit of oil, not sure if i just didn't do a great job, or if i was supposed to let the sealant dry a bit into more of a gasket, then torque everything down. Thanks! |
My experience with sealant is limited, I recommended it because when I did the EGR delete I torqued everything down hard and still had a leak. I went back to stock and just put it on the stock hose with my finger haha. If I remember the tube directions you apply a continuous bead around the plate (in this instance) finger tighten the bolts, then torque it after it dries. |

Not sure if i am the first person to use this kit on a MS6 but according to your websight it should work. Well, i have taken everything apart to get in there, and now i am finding that the plug dosent fit. I dont know if i am missing something obvious, but i was under the impresion the plug was to replace the fitting on the Intake manifold, and the fitting at the end of the egr pipe is considerably larger than the plug, you said the plug was a .5" but it looks like it needs to be something more like 1.0". If anyone has any ideas, PLEASE, post them!!! :worried: Thanks, ELi |

Im kind of stuck mid project so if you need any more info or pictures please let me know asap! Thanks! |
Well looks like I F'd up. There appears to have been an error in communication between me and my wife. Looks like we sent out the kits with the jamb intended for a shift knob instead of the correct one for the EGR kit. We'll be sending out the proper plug to those that have already purchased the kit Monday. Eli I know this does nothing for you right now but I will make it up to you. My sincerest apologies. Jamie |
PM Sent. |
Replied. Sorry guys! Looks like a case of being human. You know I'll take care of it. Jamie |
Alright, crisis averted. I went out and got some of the copper gasket sealer, put it on both sides of the plate and gasket and put everything back together using the plate along with the pipe. Everything seems to be as it should. And i noticed no problems associate with the plate thickness, so i am inclined to say, this thinner plate along with some gasket sealant alleviates all concerns of leaking. On a side note, i was able to disconnect the cai, and hold back the tip with a piece of wire and not have to remove it. I did pull the battery/tray, and i pulled the tb to clean it, without removing any of the coolant lines so i didn't have to worry about any draining of coolant. All in all a bit of a pain in the ass, but it could have been worse. **note: Be careful while trying to remove the lower fitting of the EGR pipe. When i finally broke mine loose, the wrench swung and broke off the nipple at the top of my radiator. I superglued it back on figuring there is no pressure in that pipe, and i am praying i don't end up needing to replace the entire radiator. BE CAREFUL!! -Eli |
OK so here's the scoop on the plugs. As mentioned above I sent out the wrong plugs. Yesterday as I was preparing to send out the correct plugs I noticed the thread pitch indicated on the box was wrong so after further investigation, sure enough it is wrong. 1.25 instead of 1.5. I did some more research and I my have found found an even better plug. I will have a couple at the end of the week. If it works out like I expect it should; it will be well worth the wait. So if you have recently ordered an EGR kit I'm gonna hold it until the plugs arrive. If you have the kit already I will send you the right plug just as soon as possible. Sorry guys. Thanks, Jamie |

You are obviously doing all you can. I'd just like to remind people that what you make is sure to fit, and be an upgrade over stock. I certainly won't let a simple mistake keep me from buying any of your pieces in the future. All anyone has to do is look @ a few reviews of your RSB, shift kit, shift knob etc., and they will find your products are top of the line, as is your customer service. |
Just ordered it at work and there is a good chance that it might be delivered by the time I get home. |
Just so it's clear, as far as using a sealant/gasket maker - you'll want to put something on the threaded plug for the mani (in addition to the block off plate), if you're not using the stock pipe. If you don't I can pretty much assure you you'll be leaking out of that plug. |
Great news folks! Just got the new plug today and just finished installing it. It's a perfect fit and looks so factory it's incredible. Put a little red RTV on the threads and your good to go. Here's a pic of it installed. http://www.jamesbaroneracing.com/advert/img_5973.jpg I will have them in bulk on Thursday and they'll be sent out to everyone then. Jamie |
Look like a nice kit..... ordered |
cant wait to get mine in! Keep up the good work Jamie! |
damn wish i did this instead of the SU one. I had to source my own plug..wasn't expensive, just more of a hassle & I like your IM plug better than the one I got. good shit Jamie. |
so since this will block off and omit the pipe, does the valve stop functioning? since the gases have no where to go? |
i got my kit...minus the bangin plug im looking forward to the installation...yay for cleaner car...whoop whoop |
OP Updated. Thanks for your patience guys. Jamie |
