Mazda 626 Intake Mani Info thread

[03.5MSP]

thanks for starting this thread ForceFed

What year is your 626 mani??

 

[tekkie]

2000, you need the std emissions one (which is federal) there is a low emission one also

I believe it works from 2000-2002 model

This might be a stupid question. But here goes. What is the ERG pipe, and what purpose dose it serve?? Would it be bad if we dont have it connected on the 626 mani?

Sorry for the newb question.

The EGR is a solid pipe that runs from the exhaust manifold to the intake manifold. This allows some of the exhaust gas to be recirculated back into the intake and reburnt... this helps with emissions mainly, but it also has a cooling effect on the combustion chamber temps.

Without it, you will get a CEL, so it is best to just hook it up.

well here is the finished product its running perfectly

it feels like its pulling harder and the turbo seems like it spools faster also, but I guess the dyno will tell me that

I am trying to upload some pics but fotki.com is having some problems right now so I will post them up later on

Tekkie how hard was the install and rewiring of the vaccum lines? Just waiting on mine

to get ported.

 

[505zoom]

Looks good man... hope that pipe holds up for ya.

 

[flat_black]

Wow, cool. =) Where'd you get that adapter, too?

by far the hardest part is getting the stock egr pipe out, I could not find anyway to unscrew that thing until I twisted the IM up on its side towards the battery

the rest of it was pretty easy

I called like 10 places today to try and find a used egr pipe, no such luck, looks like you will have to shell out the money from mazda which sucks since that cost more than the IM itself lol

I figure I spent about 5 - 6hrs on it

lol its funny because I was like where in the hell am I going to get something to make this fit, I had a box sitting right by my computer with a whole bunch of parts in it, they were for a propane fireplace I was installing, they all fit perfectly lol

 

[flat_black]

Oh, awesome! Hey, find out where the rest of us can get those adapters, huh? I'll probably replace mine with one of those, just to make it easier to install/remove the header!

 

[tekkie]

home depot sells them thats where I got all of it a couple weekends ago

they are 5/8 to 1/2" adapters if you look in the plumbing section where they have all the different brass fitings you will find them there

 

[flat_black]

Cool, I'll have to stop by there tonight. Thanks!
