I'll believe there are the few people who dont have to clean there intake like the rest of the forum. Now if you have a tune with Dynamic EGR then you have modded the motor to keep it from building up on the intake. Point in fact is you have done something to fix the problem either by turning it down with a tune or by deleting it completely. So i will still say you will end up with a clogged intake at some point in time unless you address your EGR in one of two ways by either a tune or by a EGR delete.
Im hoping it works and im hoping it sells i have a good amount of people waiting for samples for testing and i have 3 local TDIs to do testing on. Two of the TDIs are 100% stock and the other is mine that has nozzles and stage 3 tune from malone tune. I will be doing dyno testing with all three cars and also im going to try and induce a runaway to see if the valve shuts the car down like its supposed to.
If you give me some dimensions i could quote this out for you. PM me.
I would try that and quick! Thanks for putting it together! However I'm in the middle of a new brake booster that I can't get to until after next week? Then a timing belt. And snow tires of course. Plenty of dough there. So please tell me cost when you can and I might be able to fit it in with one if those jobs? We will see?Ask and you here you go, TDi EGR heat exchanger to help with warm up and stabilization in cold weather.
Its 4" OD 3" inlet and 16" long, I can change any of the dimensions if need be. The hose fittings are 5/8 nipple, i would strongly recommend AN fittings and lines.
Cost will depend on what you want it made of. With our welding capabilities i could make it out of anything but seeing as it needs to be welded into you exhaust it would have to be stainless. I could build it from any grade stainless you want i would stick with 316 or 304. As for the outer tube i was thinking .083" wall should be plenty strong but if wanted i could go .188" wall too.
that's where I stopped on mine
Another way would be to add a small cooler inline with a bypass on it so that you always keep 100% water flow through the Heat exchanger. So in the cold months the extra cooler would be bypassed but in the summer the bypass will redirect into the cooler to help keep coolant temps down to normal. Would be very easy as you could use a style factory thermostat built into a housing that has one inlet from heat exchanger and two outlets, one back to the motor and the other to the cooler to control the flow of coolant into the cooler. There wouldn't be much added cost to this maybe an extra 50-100 bucks. so in total cost for the HX, bypass and cooler would be around 200 at most.
That might work but would have to be tested to make sure it was safe. Take a look at what i said above.
Yeah, I like that idea better. Doesn't add too much cost/complexity either.
Once im done with the race pipe ill test it out. If tests show it works and that it's going to be safe ill offer them as a product. For now i will offer to a few people to help test.
how is that different than just using the HEINOUSLY oversized radiator that mk4 diesel cars already have?
I havent had a chance to look into it that far, this has been more of just brain storming.
No sadly i need an egr valve from one to measure so i can make one. So if i can get one ill make them.
Subscribed and me too for the PD150 manifold!
I just got the flange, pipe, fittings, block off and other small stuff in this morning ill take photos. Im waiting on the bearings to come in and still working on machining the shaft. I also have to machine the bearing holders one night this week. Ill upload photos tonight
