1) I will be replacing my coolant with fresh.

Just wondering what the res. tank should read when hot/cold.

2) I like DINOEVO's egr blanking page, but a wee bit more info on this mod would be helpfull.

It's in The FAQ
http://www.delica.ca/forum/how-to-fit-a ... e-304.html

Have a read.

Thanks FS.

Any blanks out there? (Calgary)

I got mine off ebay. It was sent from the UK.
Didn't cost much at all and was a prefect set.
All the bolts and stuff you need.

look for EGR delica in ebay and see what pops up.

Same here. It was cheap. Will probably copy kit and cut a few spares for mates.

Thanks Falco that was a good link (read).

So only is a blank required, if the gate is stuck open all the time.

If the gate functions correctly, then hose disconect and machine screw would do the same thing?

Nice

Yes, but generally the gate doesn't function properly. What that means is you've got hot exhaust blowing into your turbo all the time, which is a real problem when you're trying to climb a hill with a full load or when towing a trailer.

EDIT (with clarification): if the EGR is 'broke' in the shut position, this is generally okay, because then exhaust gases are not being fed into the turbo into the combustion chamber (this is the same as blanking off the EGR); if the EGR is 'broke' in the open position, this is when EGTs will be higher, fuel consumption will be higher, and overall performance is poorer (this is why we blank off the EGR).

Ok so I found a bolt that plugs the vaccum hose off nicely.

I also observed a very thin plate between the parts where the blank would go.

Is this a gasket of some kind? OR was it blanked in Nipon?

I am on the highway tomorrow, what should I notice in performance if anthing at all, assuming the bolt works?

Not a noticable differance, but I did get a rock chip during my adventure.

Kudos for your input and help

Side note: $20.00 can prevent further windsheild cracking if caught early.

As the sign entering Radium reads, "The Mountains will bring peace to the peolpe".

So does a happy delica!!

Done.

It took an hour to do.

I installed it via the engine compatment only.

Copy plate onto 1/16" metal.

Cut. Drill. Re-install.

Thanks again for your help Delica luvers!!
