Has anyone done a delete? I'm thinking about just plugging the exhaust manifold, then putting a small PCV filter on the EGR valve. That way, when it opens, the inkate sucks regular air in instead of exhaust gas.

I overhauled my intake and cleaned it out at ~60,000 miles, but now at 108,000 miles I took a look down the throttle body and it looked pretty nasty. Even with the catch can installed.

@AlexJag can your tune cover an EGR delete?

 

Sucking air through egr will screw up an AFR, causing a pretty lean condition.
There's more - on a gas engines EGR cools down a combustion chamber at a part load, deleting EGR will raise a combustion chamber temp and may result in a melted pistons (seen that after a few hundred miles on a cruise control).

 

I don't see a good reason to delete the EGR.
Speaking of catch cans and dirty intake; I just had a customer with 07 Xkr, has a catch can but still car was sucking in plenty of oil which was causing smoke on acceleration. Turns out the culprit was an aftermarket PCV or breather, ( round saucer device on the driver side) Replaced with oem, problem solved and no more smoke. So please double check this device to make sure that this is an OEM unit and not aftermarket. How you can tell is aftermarket does not have a stamped Jaguar part number on the bottom of it.

 

I had that issue too. Mine actually blew out which was not a pretty sight.

My real concern isnt the blowby oil, its the exhaust. That stuff is fouling up the intake pretty bad.

But I guess i'll have to live with it.
