johnnyfive Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 I wonder if the decrease in fuel used (& therefore less bad diesel emissions) would out weigh the benefit of emissions control systems in cases like this? Would be difficult to measure or even prove the EGR system was working properly to begin with in this case so yeah, bin that shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 It's more of a change in emissions isn't it. I.e. less of the more bad ones through egr That's what I assume anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 It had a reasonable amount of soot in the intake when I removed the throttle body which seems like a yuck thing for it to breathe in. It does idle slower now as well. This is interesting reading on the subject https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhaust_gas_recirculation 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 EGR can go to hell. I reckon about 2/3rds of CRDs I deal with with running faults have been because of the EGR, either failing and jamming wide open, or just gumming up the intake with thick oily carbon crud. Fuck EGR. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemi Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Fuck EGR. The Euro's are going to hot EGR. will see how that goes ( so no cooler etc) Still, fuck EGR. Aftertreatment is a pain in the ass, but i can deal with it. because its after the engine. this bullshit that poisons the whole motor when it fails can burn in hell. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post cletus Posted December 24, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 24, 2018 Decided I needed a bike with a bigger engine, so I bought myself a Christmas present today, picked it up then rode around in the rain trying to find a testing station with an inspector that did bikes Passed wof no problem, got home and removed the dumb massive windscreen thing , my 7yo called it a 'nerd bike' It's a 1997 piaggio /vespa px150 . 4 speed box which is quite odd to use. 20 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cletus Posted December 25, 2018 Author Share Posted December 25, 2018 Not 100% sure yet but probably exhaust, wheels, paint, might do some engine mods, can get fancy suspension so might do that, smaller front guard Some dual purpose tyres might be a good idea for exploring 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raizer Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 I can do a lot of parts for these things too. I've got a 98 NV150 here myself, trying to decide if I rebuild the seized engine to factory spec or go for a 187cc build 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64valiant Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Pretty sure the bike shop next to me has the same exhuast set up as mine which would be a legit upgrade for you. Your going to have a ball. Such a great scoot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingbrick Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Clint plz come down do some riding in the waikato! Everyone down here seems to have reasonably fast small bikes so rides are to kawhia etc are real fun (50% of the time, atleast) (I may have to work later this week but was REALLY hoping to go for a decent ride if the weather isnt too lame) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seems the guy racing it off road wouldn't want it there if it was going to be a problem so seems like a good idea if your only focusing on a expansion chamber.
