SidesMods
NOTE: This is an off-road ONLY modification.
NOTE: Please be aware that in most cars produced after 2000 you have to remap your ECU to switch off EGR valve, blanking it is only a part of the process.
Fits Stage 5 & 6 level Duratorq TDCi engines, identified by the EGR Cooler mounted to the exhaust manifold with a V-band clamp and the DPF mounted directly to the turbocharger.
Ford Ranger PX2 PX3 3.2 / 2.2 Diesel with Factory DPF SidesMods EGR Cooler Delete & Bypass Kit - Cooler Removal & Coolant Bypass
NOTE: This is an off-road ONLY modification.
EGR Cooler Delete / Bypass Kit for Ford Ranger PX Mk2 & Mk3 3.2L & 2.2L diesel engines equipped with a DPF. For vehicles without a DPF, please refer to our alternative listings.
This kit offers significant reliability and performance improvements, especially for off-road or high-demand applications.
This kit is designed for Stage 5 and Stage 6 engines, identified by an EGR cooler mounted to the exhaust manifold with a V-band clamp and a DPF unit located directly on the turbocharger.
All required components are included to successfully remove and bypass the EGR cooler. Step-by-step instructions are provided. Due to the location of the cooler, installation may take several hours and can be challenging. Professional installation is recommended.
An ECU remap is advised alongside this installation to ensure optimal engine operation and to disable fault codes.
Key Benefits:
- Prevents overheating and engine damage caused by internal EGR cooler failure
- Improves fuel economy by reducing intake manifold soot buildup
- Lowers coolant and intake air temperatures
- Increases engine oil service life through reduced contamination
To maximise performance benefits, we also recommend a full intake manifold clean during installation.
Complete the modification with ECU tuning
The plate handles the physical blanking, while the required ECU calibration addresses EGR operation and monitoring. Installing a plate without suitable calibration can trigger EGR-related fault codes, an engine warning light or limp mode.
If your vehicle still needs this calibration, select the mail-in ECU tuning option above when ordering. This service requires you to send your engine ECU to us. Customers who already have suitable EGR calibration can purchase the plate on its own.
For installation and tuning at our Sunshine Coast workshop, submit an online tuning enquiry with your vehicle details.
Intake cleaning alongside the installation
Blanking the EGR passage does not remove soot and carbon already deposited in the intake manifold. Where deposits are restricting airflow, cleaning the intake can address that existing buildup.
Euro Car Electronics offers intake manifold cleaning, with ultrasonic cleaning available for suitable removed components. Request an intake cleaning assessment to arrange this alongside the work.
Installation and ECU tuning are not included in the plate price. The mail-in ECU tuning service is charged separately when selected.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need ECU tuning with this EGR blanking plate?
Yes. Suitable EGR calibration is required to complete the modification. If this has already been carried out, you can order the plate alone. Otherwise, add the mail-in ECU tuning service or arrange workshop installation and tuning through our online form.
How does the mail-in ECU tuning option work?
Select the ECU tuning option when ordering, then complete our online tuning form with your order number and vehicle details to arrange sending your engine ECU to us. This is a service performed on your supplied ECU.
Will it remove existing carbon from the intake?
No. Existing deposits remain after installation. Intake manifold cleaning is a separate service and can be arranged where required.
