EGR
 
Is there any other EGR valve that will fit the SVX? The screws in the SVX Egr unit , what screw to it? I have one with 4 broken screws( can not get them out.) if I drill them out and re tap them what screw into it ( looks like 4 ports with screw holes around them ). I can drill them out bigger and retap them SAE 5/16x18 if that will work.

Re: EGR
 
Ok does any other EGR assembly from any other car or model Subaru fit the SVX? I purchase an EGR assembly and 4screws-are broken in it. How do I remove the screws. I tried an easy out , I soaked it in blaster I drilled them out. Can i re tap them ? What is it attached too? What part of this statement do you not understand DUH!!!

Usually, proper English, grammar and sentence structure are in place to get complete thoughts and ideas across to other people. Typing random thoughts without any punctuation or random punctuation makes it extremely difficult for anyone to understand your full inquiry. Hence my response.

You first asked if any other vehicle's EGR will work but after that went into a bunch of gobbledygook.

Yes, you can drill them out and retap it with any thread you like. Use whatever bolts you want that work.
I don't believe any other Subaru EGR valve will work, though I haven't looked into it much.

Re: EGR
 
So something screws into this? All I have is the unit sitting on my work bench. I have no knowledge of how it attaches to the motor or what? I was trying to explain what screws are broken. They are the 4 screws on either side of the ports. I didnt know if they were threaded or not. The holes are filled with rusted steel. THANKS

Re: EGR
 
The valve assembly bolts to the tubes on either end. One side comes from the exh manifold and the other side attaches to the intake manifold. Those tubes have a flange on the end that the bolt goes through and threads into the valve assembly. (Stock is a 10mm bolt IIRC, possibly 8mm)

This what I have. I have a CEL on ,and the code reads EGR problem. Car is a 1994. Converted to 5 speed. Hoping someday to clear this code.
This is the part with broken screws. [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...2F95ED34F6.jpg[/IMG]

Get a 92 Federal ECU....;)

Re: EGR
 
Where do I get such a thing? Can I add my 1.5 v chip to it? Also , is that the only cure?

You can buy one from someone parting out a 92. The chip ought to work fine.

Yep, Ecutune software is based off 92 coding.

Re: EGR
 
Um... I have a 92.. With a 92 ECU.. With a 1.5 Chip... and I still get EGR code 34 and 56.
I also have a spare ECU, and that also gives me the same codes...
So... any other suggestions?
Is it because my car is originally from Cali??

I seriously just want to remove the entire EGR assembly, block the damn thing off, and have a resistor put in line that matches the "all ok" signal to the ECU.
Is something like this possible?

Yes, it's because you have a Cali car. Those do throw codes for both the solenoid and temp sensor.

Re: EGR
 
Looking4SVX is running an automatic. When it was new it had no CEL ,why does it now? I have one more emmision test to pass. My repair / emmision test garage says it will pass.After that test, can I do what Looking4SVX is suggesting?
Anyone have a picture of the EGR on the motor?

Surely, this can't be a serious question...:bash:
