I have a friend who flips two-fowdies (240sx for the rest of y'all), and has been around KA's for quite some time, and occasionally, the SR. He suggested I remove the oil catch reservoir that sits in front of my motor, mounted just below the valve cover (two little black metal boxes with a few tubes coming out, and a vacuum actuator), and plug the EGR. I've taken some time to inspect where these hoses go, and for the most part, it looks like a complicated PCV system. The EGR just circles back around to the intake. I know that it's mostly for emissions, but also for fuel/air mixture proportioning, in a small way. He told me he's done it to some of his cars in the past, and they pass emissions and run better. It would get rid of much of the tubing and crap that I have to remove every time I remove the valve cover.
1. Should I attempt this at all?
2. Any good pointers, if yes?
3. Will my car run better?
4. Will it pass emissions?
