How to Make Z16XE EGR Valve Simulator-Cheater

PLEASE NOTE - Do It At Your Own Risk!  If you're not sure what you're doing than please DON'T do anything and ask for professional help. 


Ok, lets start with all the parts you will need to make your Z16XE engine EGR valve simulator,cheater, emulator or you name it.


  • Relay (SPDTA common port links towards either of two others. Together with a pair for the coil, this type of relay gives you five terminals altogether


  • 510 ohm resistor

colors:   | Green | Brown | Brown | Gold | 

  •  3k3 resistor

colors:   | Orange | Orange | Red | Gold |

  • 1k resistor
 colors:   | Brown | Black | Red | Gold |


  • Stripboard (or similar)  to solder parts together.



  • Now solder components according to the following scheme and connect it to EGR valve connector.



  • I have installed precisely the same "EGR cheater", to my 1.6 Z16XE Opel/Vauxhall Vectra, driven for more than 600 mile approximately, practiced various driving styles, and NO EML light on!

  2. The Ford 6. Powerstroke diesel engine is really a effective, reliable bit of machinery. Automobiles carrying it happen to be towing and carrying for nearly ten years now, and likely could keep carrying and towing for any decade more when correctly washed and maintained like every tool ought to be. However with its merits comes one major flaw: the Exhaust Gas Recirculation system within the 6. is among the likeliest parts to fail the first, and frequently the best way to repair it's having a Ford 6. Powerstroke EGR removalpackage.
