The EGR on a diesel does not have the same effect on the exhaust pollution as a petrol engine, it has no benifit in regards to pollution other than cooling the turbo.
If you work your rig hard i advise a exhaust temp sensor to ensure you dont detonate the turbo/engine.  |
Not trying to upset anyone but if there is no pollution benefit from EGR, why is it being fitted to heavy diesels to help them meet emission targets. I was under the impression that by using exhaust gas in the charge air was to give a more complete burn. There is also a lot of discussion within the truck industry about the increased cooling demands of EGR engines.
I am happy to be corrected if this is wrong
