You're right, but what happens when the combustion temps rise? Motor temps, not to mention engine bay temps will rise also...that's just a byproduct of heat in general, especialy in an engine bay. It's not localized in the combustion chambers.
no, you wont be able to raise engine temps by removing the EGR. the cooling system will be easily able to handle the added combustion temps. you will just suffer from a massive increase in NOX, and an overall lean situation until the fuels system catches up to the extra air supplied. then you will lose the milage, and probably trigger a fuel trim code (depending on the year of your car).

Carbon is removed from the intake tract when the EGR is removed.
no, thats not right either. There is no "carbon" that is being recycled through your car. you are getting inert, combusted gasses assuming perfect combustion. Of course, this isnt a perfect world, and carbon is present in the fuel you're placing in your car. But that has actually underwent a chemical change after it was combusted as well, into CO and CO2 (as well as other wonderful chemicals). The carbon that shows up in your intake manifold regardless of EGR is mostly from evaporating fuel.

Why does everyone try to keep folks from doing this?
because its utterly stupid. You gain absolutly NOTHING. You loose milage, raise combustion temp, and pollute more.
I am always amazed at the way people try to re-engineer a well thought out car.

If you're worried about your air, petition the local tracks, hell, petition NASCAR!! Have the gov't take away old muscle car roaming around the streets of America, tell those bikers to get rid of their bikes, you know those big burly guys! Our motors will run fine with or without them, period. If guys don't want to take yours off or can't because of emission laws...don't, plain and simple. You guys crack me up.
well, they are trying to take away the old muscle cars and they are placing the same emission standards on new motorcycles, but you're talking apples to oranges. There are what, 140 million cars in america? how many do you think are classic muscle cars out of that? less than 1 percent? and how many are driven daily to and from work?
why is it when someone voices that emission standards are a good thing, someone else comes along and thinks thats a sign of weakness by boasting how insignificant it is? look around.. our world is becoming more and more disgusting every year.
I just assume do my part to be socially responsable.
