Default EGR blockoff ?

Has anyone tried to fab up a EGR block off system for the EB? That might reduced some issues.

It is my understanding there is no traditional egr valve. Egr is accomplished by valve timing (leaving exhaust valve open on intake stroke for short time to suck back exhaust).

But I'm no expert.

Pack is correct - no EGR valve - it's all done with valve timing now.

You would need to hold the cam adjusters in place. Not sure anyone is willing to make a kit for that yet ? Plus a tune for it. Engine would probably make less power also.
