Does EGR increase performance?
EGR reduces volumetric efficiency which places challenges on the boosting system. LP-EGR helps to lower backpressure and improves scavenging which helps reduce knock and operate at a high efficiency at the low-speed and high-load conditions.
What does the EGR valve do on a diesel engine?
Abstract: Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) is an effective strategy to control NOx emissions from diesel engines. The EGR reduces NOx through lowering the oxygen concentration in the combustion chamber, as well as through heat absorption.
Does EGR increase horsepower?
EGR delete without a remap of the ECU will give no performance benefit but will increase emissions. But it does simplify things greatly. A remap is unlikely to give collossal gains in power, but there will be some. Either way it’s not an engine killer.
Does EGR delete increase HP?
All vehicles are required to meet federal emissions standards. Consider an EGR delete kit. Benefits include lowering engine temperature, better fuel mileage and increased horsepower. It helps reduce the amount of Nitrogen oxides produced by the engine at extreme operating temperatures.
Where is the EGR valve on a 2005 Cummins diesel?
The 2004 engine did not require an EGR system and the 2005 engine has the EGR valve and the cross over pipe sits above the thermostat and needs to be removed, to get to the thermostat. The video link is for a Dodge truck 6.7 replacement. The hardest part might be getting to the engine on the RV.
How to add 300hp to mechanical Cummins-diesel power?
You need to match the increased fuel delivery with an increase in air with a larger turbocharger. It is extra critical you select the correct size turbo on a 12-valve truck, since the mechanical injection pump has static timing and no variable vanes in the exhaust housing.
How does the ECM work on a Cummins Engine?
The ECM for the Cummins engine has gone through many changes throughout its production run, and each generation requires different “tools” or software to reflash the computer.
How many degrees should a Cummins diesel engine go?
The man said he must have my engine serial# in order to locate the exact specs, as each engine can differ from others of the same displacement, HP and torque. According to the curves and data sheet the engine should not go past 212 degrees. If it is getting 220 degrees you need to bring it into a shop so they can check it out.
