Are vacum lines and the EGR valve needed?
Are vacum lines and the EGR valve needed?
Hello,
I've been rebuilding and engine for my 90 GTU for some time now and am at a point where I am installing the air intake.
The engine block was purchased separately from the car and I am not sure what year it's from. The car did come with everything else that bolts on to the block. The block came with an EGR valve but when I try to install the vacum lines and intake, the damn pieces don't fit together.
The EGR valve seems to be too big for the space left between the intake/vacum lines and the engine block. A friend who has owns RX's suggested I get rid of the EGR and put a plate over the hole. He also suggested I get rid of the vacum lines stating that there are only a few lines really need to make the engine run.
Is this true? Can I do this? I really want to get this engine finished.
Thanks,
