- - EGR tube leak (http://zr1.net/forum/showthread.php?t=32132)

The tube is shot and needs to be replaced. Any tips on where to get a new?

It's a 94 ZR-1 with Watson headers and Corsa exhaust. Attachment 12751 Attachment 12752

Re: EGR tube leak

Another question is: Do I need the EGR at all? My old 91 ZR-1 did not have it.

If you are not required to have it for emissions inspection, then eliminate it. Plug the hole in the exhaust and plenum.

Looks like quite a job removing the pipe completely, so can I leave it there (for now) if I disconnect it..? Just to avoid driving with the leak until I eventually get a new one (fear the emission tests might be troublesome?).

There will not be any codes to deal with if we do this?

Finally, where do I get new parts to fix it?

Re: EGR tube leak

Hi NorwegianMopar!

Are you sure your EGR tube is "shot?"
I see the outer heat shield with crimped
solid inside tubing. It all looks secure.
Mark Haibeck taught me that the connector
is called an Oetiker clamp and uses a special
tool to crimp. Interesting to look up.
Removing your EGR system because
you don't need/want the smog option
is another issue.
Good luck!

PS: Looking at your pictures again I think
I see a crack in the outer (heat) shielding.
Is that what you are talking about?
Not a problem, or at most maybe apply
a wrap of heat resistant tape.

Marc Haibeck has the parts I need, so I guess it has to be done. NOX w/o EGR in my car will be twice the level of a 92 that doesn't have EGR if I remove it - bad when trying to pass the emission control...

Typical my luck just 500 miles or so after it had a full tune up and service at Haibeck's last summer...
