which will reduce power, as if youd ever get caught for it

The EGR valve will only open when the car is cruising, it won't open when the car is cold or under acceleration. So it won't reduce power when you want it.

E.G.R can also reduce pumping losses / combustion temps & improve fuel economy especially cooled E.G.R - do a search on Google ...very interesting ... I always used to pull them off .. but there are articles on Autospeed & many other places about them & the advantages.

In internal combustion engines, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) is a nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions reduction technique used in petrol/gasoline and diesel engines.

EGR works by recirculating a portion of an engine's exhaust gas back to the intake. :)




i think that carbon monoxide mate .. unless your cars are producing nitrogen oxide (NOS), though that would be sweet.......

Thanks but carbon monoxide is the harmless stuff that comes out of the tailpipe after the cats get rid of the nasty stuff such as nitrogen oxide.
And yes you can make a self powered NOS bottle (no refils EVER).

There is a big difference between NO and N2O, for the record NOS stands for Nitrous Oxide System, the bottles are filed with N2O.
