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?

The little red bastard - handling and traction 1st, speed 2nd.
The good drivers are the ones that understand they may not be the best out there, but know what to do to get there.
I'll be nice and anwser your question, usually people wont anwser this becasue it can be anwsered by searching. But when i was new to the SR20 scene and cars in general i asked the same question.
1. yes, it cleans the engine bay up allot, the EGR system gets cloged and causes a number of prolbems. my car runs better becsue i took it all off, BUT leave the oil catch can on, its there for a reason, your friend saying to take it off just shows that he talks out of his ass possibly, so dont take to heart every thing he says
2. just take your time, makes some nice block off plates and seal them with some gasket maker, or you can buy a set from some where, search for it its around here some where.....make sure you hook up or block off any vaccume lines you mess with.
3. Possibly, my car did but my car has 207,000 miles on the orginal engine. Also check your ACC valve, clean it, and put it back on, put a new PCV valve on, and do the noram full tune up.
4. probly not, im unsure, West Vrigina doent even check, so maby some one else will post up.
for some more inspiration check out my se-r, look in my recent posts

Thanks guys, I appreciate it. I also know of people cutting the EGR tube, crimping what's left and welding it shut on the manifold, which I might likely do.
