EGR Valve thing

[IRLGW]

I did a bit of a search for this before asking the question but couldn't find a link to tell me this.......

1). Does a 12valve 4.2 have an egr? and is it worth blocking?

2). Has anyone fitted an intercooler to a 12v/24v, and if so how big does it need to be?

Thanks for any advice

I'm here, yes it does give more power but just makes it nicer to drive rather than turn it into a rocket ship, use the throttle a little to er, enthusiastically and watch the fuel gauge drop.

enjoying the funny comments.....Chas, it makes you reconsider if it was worth showing your relatively serious mishap ..to this merciless crowd (myself included, though it is a bit odd to laugh at people you haven´t met IRL!

...maybe if I knew you guys I would reveal some mishaps too (though I am not sure anything will beat yours!!!)

Greetings...

Yes it has crossed my mind, but if you can't laugh at yourself you shouldn't stick your head up

Come on I won't tell anyone

Is there a thread for 'fitting an intercooler' ......and then what happened next....

See this thread for what happens when 4.2 ltr of intercooled turbo engine at full throttle hits a 10" thick concrete block wall.

Sorry, but the picture of the hole in the wall seems to have disappeared, so here it is again;

Chas - that should go in the 'Evocative pic' thread - it meets the criteria!

I'm not sure about that, it reminds me of things I'd rather not remember, . . . . . like the dry cleaning bill

What really amazed me was that after that massive impact the truck was still drivable, not roadworthy, but still moved under it's own power I actually drove it through the car park to the recovery vehicle when it arrived if anyone needs an example of the protection afforded by a winch bumper this is it.
