perhaps there are no wires in the harness for the egr wires? the trouble codes are pretty rudimentary - it might not detect the fact it is unplugged.

Well the ecu i'm using does have egr control in it. You are right that the car i have the motor in didn't have EGR, but i've added all the necessary wiring to connect the egr, and the black box to the ecu, and i've tested all the pins.
I'm just baffled that I can completely unplug the egr and the black box and it never throws a code. i'm wondering if perhaps i have a bad ecu, somebody swapped the ecu case, (which i highly doubt because the vx ecu is only useful to vx owners, you can't modify it for hondata like the EX ecus, ect.).
While some have said, hey, 48mpg sounds like it is working, i'm curious if the egr system was working properly, would i get even more than 48mpg, or would I get less.
