The Damond Motorsports EGR Block off and delete Kits are designed to block off or remove the exhaust gas re-circulation system of the 2.3L DISI, in the Mazdaspeed3, Mazdaspeed6, and CX-7.
The Damond Motorsports EGR block off plate was designed to the same dimensions of the EGR tube’s flange. This allows for the tube to be installed, along with the block off plate, and the OEM gasket, for a clean stock look. We also include a screw-in bung for the intake manifold connection of the EGR system, to eliminate the tube all together.
Note: This product is intended for off-road use only. We are no longer manufacturing these kits. Once sold out, they will no longer be available.
THIS PRODUCT ONLY FITS THE 2.3L TURBO DISI MAZDA ENGINE.
I recently installed the EGR delete kit from Damond Motorsports on my car, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The installation was straightforward, thanks to their clear and detailed instructional guide. Everything was laid out step by step, making the process quick and hassle-free.
If you’re considering an EGR delete, I highly recommend Damond Motorsports for their quality design and user-friendly installation.
P.S. I will be installing a longer coolant hose for a better fit! It’s been 3 weeks and no leaks!
Very well designed product, bolts right on, great customer service and shipping.
Solid beautiful looking product! Super easy to install!
With a little help, this EGR delete kit works as it should. When removing the EGR tube, the small blockoff plate they send with it requires the use of shorter bolts, you cannot use the bolts that came out of the EGR tube because they will bottom out before tightening down the plate. I was able to remedy this by cutting the EGR tube away from its flange that bolted to the head. This allowed me to install the EGR tube gasket, blockoff plate, then original flange without the tube and I was able to reuse the original fasteners. Don't worry about it being seen, as you won’t be able to see it once you reinstall your Turbo inlet pipe.
The instructions also say that you can reuse the original coolant hose from the turbo to the EGR if you flip it around. I was not able to get this to work, no matter which way I tried it, the hose always appeared to kink or to be too short. However, I did find another solution. I was able to buy a pre-bent piece of coolant hose from my local autoparts store. I used a Gates Heater Hose, Part number: 18020. It will require a little trimming to fit as it comes longer than you need it. But once installed, it is a much cleaner solution than reusing the old hose.
Only issues I had were of my own doing, make sure the gasket goes on right the first time otherwise you do an unexpected coolant flush.
Cannot complain about the quality or the fitment of the block off plate. Great for making room in the engine bay while keeping the internals clean as well.
Great service and good quality.
Great customer service like always, everything seems solid and well made highly recommended to pair with DM VTA OCC KIT which I have also ! Good insurance for our DI motor.

Thanks guys 👍🏽
The guys at Damond are the best (you especially, Matt). Great quality and comes with everything you’ll need, even a nice Damond sticker. Everything fit perfectly and install was a breeze!!
Ordered EGR delete kit came in 4-5 days just got to install it Thanks a lot for getting the parts I ordered to me
Just like advertise...really happy with it
2010 Mazdaspeed 3.
I installed this because I was replacing my PCV valve. While I was doing all that. I ported and polsihed my intake. Deleted the vtcs while I was at it. Cleaned my intake valves cause why not. I can see them. In the midst of all this. I watch a couple YouTube videos on how much I would benefit from a EGR delete. So heck. Why not. Deleted the EGR too. Works great, fitment was perfect. Had no issue. There was no instruction in the packaging but everything was pretty self explanatory, google if needed. There are so many people who have written up DIY for this.
Now I must let you know it's obvious but, deleting the EGR will cause your car to throw CEL. (I am one that hates hates hates with a passion CEL). And deleting the VTCS doesn't help neither. That's why I am setting my car up for e tune after I get my blow off valve to get them suckers delete off my ECU.
I must warn you, there is a lot of stuff you would need to remove inorder to do this, so it's best to be done at a day you are not working or have a free day. Steps goes something along the lines of remove intercooler, intake, battery, ECU and WALA!
Other than that. Fitment was perfect, looks great, very quality parts.
This was straight forward installation and the product is very good quality.
I really liked the quality of the product, shipping was really fast. It would’ve been nice to get a simple install instruction for the full removal kit at least. And don’t believe some of the reviews made when they say it takes 20min because that’s only for the simple delete not the full, you do end up removing the whole intercooler and most of the intake piping, including the throttle body and the battery to delete the whole egr system. But I love that I know my engine will be more reliable not getting any of that carbon thrown back into my engine. So two thumbs up and a very happy customer right here
Excelente para mantener mas limpio la entrada de aire
Its perfect
Excelente servicio y muy detallado el productos
Excelente artículo y llegó rápido 👍
Same great quality as all their products, very easy install as had all the intake system off. Surprised kit did not come with the two factory gaskets, stock ones not looking that bad, but for a minor cost easier to change the gaskets on install, instead of having to go back in and deal with if there was a leak down the road. On my Son's Mazdaspeed3, he knew it would throw a code when the EGR was removed, it did, but he's OK living with it versus the upside of getting rid of the EGR,
Really good quality
All the items in the full delete are really nice quality and work as stated.
The layout of this engine makes this a lot of effort for a simple EGR bypass, however, so just be ready to get dirty and make sure the full delete is worth the time.
The instructions guide you through the process just fine and are a thoughtful addition. However, read them before you buy the kit, not right before or while you’re installing this.
If you want a successful, quick or perfect install, have some thread tape, rtv, and another turbo coolant rubber hose ready.
- I don’t think the existing coolant line to the turbo is long enough to reuse, on mine anyway, so I bought another one and it cost me another $30 because I was in a hurry with my car apart. During install the existing rubber line was overly stretched, too short and backyard mechanic looking if you try to reuse it.
- I would have ideally had new gaskets to replace the ones that are r&r’d for this.
- it’s a tight area around the EGR, so some annoying things can happen if you’re not careful. The Turbo Boost Valve especially can snap when you remove an intake for access, and is probably brittle at this age. Read what that is before you start and be careful around it. They might cost you another $90 or so.
Straight forward instructions, high quality product. 10/10
Good build quality fit exactly as intended
