EA8290 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Hey, I'm new to the the site and a newly proud owner of a 86 wagon GL with a original ea82 in it! Can anyone give me some more info on deleting the EGR system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 This writeup is about a Weber Carb Swap onto an EA82, but it has good info on the EGR, and Photos: ~► http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/71510-ideas-on-swaping-a-weber-carb-on-ea82%C2%B4s/ Kind Regards.

BirdMobile Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 It's really easy. Remove some pipes, block off the holes. Loyale 2.7 has it in the writeup, but I did it without any documentation. Basically 2 ports from the exhaust side of the heads, and a small "L" pipe on top. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 You may find a plug that fits the egr oprt on the head, otherwise, vut the hose and crimp it over. The EGR cab be blocked off as a plate. Perhaps the EGR is plugged, whuch would on its own accomplish the same as being blocked off. The solenoids are just there, leave them plugged in so the ECU sees them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 the way that is done down under is simplest - a small ball bearing shoved into the vac pipe of the EGR. As long as the EGR is closed - everything is good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EA8290 Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 I ended up leaving the solenoid sand just plugging the vac hoses Coming off the EGR with old bolts and hose clamps. Thanks for the info! Does anyone have any more ideas on basic modifications to help out this ea82? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 whOA ! Hold the bus !! How much better does it go now , with EGR deleted ? A thorough tune and carby overhaul would be a good start. Amazing what a new acc pump diaphragm does for the old things. New timing belts and tensioner kit ? Tight belts pull the cam back in tune with the crank. I found I pulled my powwer band down the rev range about 500 rpm with new belts, not as willing up top end, but better torque down low.

My EA-82 is a whole new animal after the carb swap... it actually has power now and makes me smile! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djellum Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 the actual path the exhaust gases take is all in the manifold. if your EGR is leaking exhaust into the manifold then plugging the hoses won't help, you need a block off plate of some sort. I only mention this if your actually attempting to find an issue, if the car runs fine and you just want to remove the EGR then plugging the holes will do it.

Flowmastered87GL Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 When I webered I made a steel block off plate for all the EGR stuff. Just use a scrap of steel, use the gasket as a template, cut out the shape, drill the holes and bolt it on. I was able to fab the parts on my coffee table in my dorm room that I lived in at the time.
