Yoshifab Isolators

[JaimeMedina]

Recently bought myself the intake manifold isolators from Yoshifab. Just wondering if anyone is running these on a car with EGR? I can't seem to get the EGR pipe to fit onto the manifold with the isolators on.

If you unbolted the backet that also holds down the breather box, I bet you could make it work. Maybe stand off the egr valve bracket with longer bolts and some washers, get creative.

Not sure if you can, but I would delete it.

Since the isolators move the intake off the head, you can make a spacer where it connects to the intake manifold to make up the space and use longer bolts. I ended up just deleting my whole EGR system from my car when I bought my isolators. Since your intake will the the mounting hole for the EGR pipe you will need to fab up blocking plate if you choose to remove the EGR.

The bracket for the EGR will need to stay on the with the breather box or get shorter bolts so the breather box will not leak.

I’ve considered deleting EGR entirely, but I have heard that certain EZKs won’t run properly without it?

I’m going to look into messing around with some bolt lengths/spacers.. been dealing with temperature in the low 20s so haven’t been willing to get out there and work on it..

I have similar isolators on mine with EGR connected. I didn't have to use an EGR-to-intake spacer and nothing was an issue. I might have had to loosen the EGR mount on the block, but nothing that stood out as problematic.

or, get a chip from "redblockpowered" that ignores the EGR signal and install that in your EZK

I actually happen to have redblockpowered’s chips in my car already. So I’d be good to delete the EGR?

That's what I did on my '94 940Ti. No more CEL for "EZK signal missing"!

Awesome! Definitely saved me a lot of headache today, I could not get that pipe to fit on the same way it was with or without the isolators. Thanks
