EGR Off for Shibaura Engines – Remote Tuning with All Disconnected

This post is also available in: English Français (French) Deutsch (German) Español (Spanish)

Shibaura diesel engines are known for their reliability, compact power, and long service life. Found in a variety of compact tractors, mowers, and utility machines from brands like New Holland, Ford, Iseki, Kubota, and others, these engines are often the heart of landscaping, agriculture, and light construction operations worldwide.

But even the best engines struggle when modern emissions systems get in the way.

When the EGR Valve Becomes Your Worst Enemy

EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) systems are meant to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions by recirculating exhaust gases back into the intake. While the intention is good, the reality often isn’t. Especially on workhorse machines that run under load, in dusty conditions, or for long hours.

Clogged passages, sticking valves, poor throttle response, and persistent fault codes are just the beginning. An EGR system that was supposed to protect your engine ends up choking it instead.

That’s why we created a true ECU-level EGR Off solution for Shibaura engines – one that disables the system at the source, clears all related DTCs (diagnostic trouble codes), and allows your engine to breathe freely again. No limp mode. No fake signals. Just power.

Why Choose an ECU-Based Solution for Shibaura Engines?

Many DIY fixes only treat the symptoms – blanking plates, unplugged sensors, or resistors to “trick” the ECU. But these solutions are temporary, unreliable, and often trigger new problems over time.

With our EGR Off software, you get:

• Permanent removal of EGR functionality in the ECU 
• No fault codes, no limp mode, no compromise 
• Compatibility with machines where the EGR hardware has already been physically removed 
• Remote tuning – no need to send in your ECU 

Which Machines Use Shibaura Engines?

Our solution supports a wide range of machines powered by Shibaura diesel engines, including but not limited to:

• New Holland: TC18, TC21, TC29, TZ18DA, T1510, T1520 
• Ford: 1210, 1310, 1510, 1710 compact tractors 
• Iseki: SXG mower series, turf equipment 
• Kubota/Yanmar: Select OEM partnerships using rebranded Shibaura blocks 
• Jacobsen: Turf and grounds maintenance equipment 
• Other OEM machines in the compact utility and light construction sectors 

If your equipment uses a Shibaura engine and suffers from recurring EGR issues, we can help – even if you’re thousands of kilometers away.

Remote Tuning with All Disconnected

We know that in many cases, the EGR hardware has already been removed, disabled, or disconnected. That’s not a problem. In fact, our solution is designed to work perfectly even when the entire system is gone – no sensors, no valve, no leftover trouble codes.

And the best part – everything can be done remotely.

If you’re using Perkins EST, you don’t even need to send us any readout. If not, no worries – here’s how it works:

1. You send us a readout of your ECU (we can help guide you through the process if needed) 
2. We create a custom EGR Off file specific to your engine and machine 
3. You flash the file back onto the ECU – done 

It’s fast, clean, fully remote, and doesn’t require physical shipping or opening of your ECU.

Want to Go Further?

Our tuning services don’t stop at EGR. For many Shibaura-based machines, we also offer:

• DPF Off – Remove diesel particulate filter restrictions and regeneration cycles 
• SCR/AdBlue Off – No more DEF errors, injector failures, or expensive refills 
• Stage 1 Remap – Increase torque, improve throttle response, and reduce fuel consumption safely 

All files are developed in-house by our experienced engineers and tested on real machines in real conditions.

Why Choose Effective Tuning?

Because we don’t just copy files – we engineer solutions. Every tuning file is built from scratch, tested for stability, and backed by support. Whether you’re a local operator, a large workshop, or a distributor, we’ll help you unlock the full potential of your equipment.

Let your machine do what it was built to do – work hard, run clean, and stay strong.
