hello everyone this is my first post!! been looking on this site for a while but unable to resolve my shogun issues and i wondered if you knowledgable chaps can help!!.
bought a 2006 swb shogun 160bhp with the intention of egr delete and remapping ecu to 190bhp but after extensive enquires was told that egr on this year/model cannot be deleted!!
i was told this by midland remaps!! (can i mention them???) also the ecu has to be taken out to be remapped and it is a *beep* to get to apparrently so another 100 quid to strip it out!
total cost of tune is £300 which is not bad really because it is a bit sluggish!!
my problem is i wanted the egr delete to coincide with the remap but midland said cannot be done so i bought a blanking kit but unsure whether to fit it now!!.
has anyone on this forum blanked off the egr (electronic) on this model without the dash light coming on!!!
can i fit a blanking plate to the egr side only and leave the exhaust side open so the egr light stays off!! the egr on the shogun is working fine but i remember when i stripped my golf (the egr was ok) i still had to remove all the gunk that had accumulated because of it!! so i am reluctant to get the shogun remapped because of not being able to delete the egr!!
can anyone help with the egr delete so i can go ahead and get it remapped!!. ps! i only use vpower diesel and opie recommended engine oil!!.
thanks in advance for your help!!.

Removing the EGR valve will result in an MOT failure if the MOT tester notices it.

Defect

Major Fail.

hi and thanks for the reply, i was not going to remove the egr because of mot failure i just want to blank it off but not sure how to blank it so it does not throw a warning light!!
on this model the obd port cannot be read with a scanner so i cannot delete any dash warning lights and the remapper said the ecu has to be removed and he cannot do an egr delete on this model!!
so" do i blank the egr side and leave the exhaust side open so i do not get a dash light or just blank the exhaust and leave the egr side open or do i use both blanking plates?? one on the exhaust side and one on the egr side!!.
very annoying of mitsubishi to not allow a scanner to read from the obd port!!
i think it has to be mull2 or mull3 which only garages have so if my blanking plates throw a warning dash light i have to go to the garage to get it turned off which is what i am trying to avoid!!.

I think you may have a problem if you get the warning light come up and the garage resets it it will only come on again as you leave the garage i dont think its possible to permantly turn off the warning light.
With the blanking plates i have read somewhere you can leave a small hole in one of the blanks to fool the system but as i have never done it im not sure if it works and not sure about your model, my egr is in place and works so not messed with it.

apparrently it is just my model year that the egr delete cannot be done!!, had i of known this model shoguns egr could not be deleted or the obd port cannot be read by a code reader i would not of purchased this model/year because i want to get to know my truk inside out (sad i know).
i think i will go ahead and get the remap done and see how she runs and maybe later do the hole in the egr plate as you suggested,
what i will do tho is post back on here when the remap is done and if the hole in plate egr method works without throwing a wobbly light because it might be usefull for someone trying to do what i am trying to do with this model/year!!
thank you for your help with the egr and at least now you have given me something new to try!!.
