Re: What was done to YOUR rig today?
I picked up a ZJ brake booster to swap in but after looking at it today I think I'll trade it in on a new one. This one is pretty worn out. Does anyone know what the difference between a WJ and a ZJ brake booster and master cylinder is?

Re: What was done to YOUR rig today?
i found them in someones front yard snagged all 4 for 100 2 have little over half tread and 2 have between 1/2 and 3/4 tread. havent drove it yet its on the batt charger. they are called QR-78-15 they are buckshot. and are claimed to be 35.5x9.5x15 measured bout 35.25x tread 9.5 side wall to side wall 10.5.
the "R" in QR means radial they also have a bias ply it is just a Q-78-15
they have white wall and black wall i didnt like the white wall side so i turned it in

Re: What was done to YOUR rig today?
I'm interested in hearing how this turns out. One of the benefits of the EGR is that it helps the motor run a tad cooler. In that XJ's have a tendency to run hot anyway, I wonder how the removal will effect things.

I am not 100% sure, but I think that LilredWagon has converted his to the open system so that may help some.

Re: What was done to YOUR rig today?
yeah mines the open system now and stays at 170 to 180ish. also how can it run cooler when your dumping hotter air into the intake. doesnt most vehicles perform better with colder air? also its purpose is to burn unburnt fuel in the exhaust. im hopeing to have less of that with the ford injectors. also the later models dont have the egr anyways they have a lil diff cam profile to help with it. ( read that on wikipedia or somethin like it)

Re: What was done to YOUR rig today?
Yes, the EGR puts hot gases into the combustion chamber. This helps the motor run more efficiently. Without it, the motor does not run as well and requires more effort to produce the same amount of power. The increased effort generates more heat. At least in theory!
Man, I never said it was a bad idea. I just said that I'm interested to see how it works out with a motor that is already uncooled and prone to overheating is all.

My understanding of EGR was that it doesn't open until highway speeds anyway, so wouldn't have much effect either way on engine temperature at crawl speeds.

Interesting. I've never heard that before. What is the source of this information?

Re: What was done to YOUR rig today?
I was a mechanic for a few years...that was what I was taught. I had never actually researched it until now...here's what wiki has to say:
Highway speed may be the wrong term. "Cruising conditions" could include lower speeds as long as the load on the engine is low (i.e. you're not accelerating or climbing a hill). Digging into the supporting document "understanding exhaust gas recirculation" goes a little farther saying that some systems such as OBDII look for certain conditions to be met such as:
That article mentions closed loop systems, but not open loop, so I can't tell you if the open loop performs differently.

(I bolded the two that would support this theory...of course he says that's just an example meaning it may not be true for all vehicles.)
