Video suggestion if you’d like you could start future videos off showing everything you need at the beginning tools parts etc generally speaking I think a lot of beginners and people who are not very mechanically inclined would really appreciate but like everyone else has said great video man literally the best on this topic on RUclips
The best video yet keep it coming btw @7:48 do I need to block off the air injection where it mounts to the intake ? Pls answer as soon as you can. Thank you again solid video👌🏽
Thank you! And yes you should cap off the port from the air injection that goes to the intake. If you go to the auto parts store and look for "heater bypass caps" you should be able to find something that fits.
I appreciate this video so much. All the other ones I watched assume the viewer knows WAY too much and skip a lot of details. Thank you for making this. My only critique, coming from someone who has no idea what they are doing is sometimes it was zoomed so close I couldnt tell where exactly on the engine you were working and the words sometimes got in the way of seeing what you were doing but I still think Ill be able to figure it out from watching this. Thank you!
Glad it helps! Also since I've made this video I have bought a wide-angle lens so I can get shots a little better in upcoming videos. please let me know if you have any questions
@@archaicautomotive2444 I do have a question. For taking off one of the pieces you mentioned you would have taken off the tire. Which tire would have made it easier? And if I have access to a lift would that make any of the hard to teach bolts easier to get off or are they just stuffed into hard to reach crevices no matter what?
Very well done. I've watched several of these videos about this exact topic, you covered this very well, mine is a carburated model, and we're going with a new Weber and perhaps an intake as well. Any thoughts about better intakes, versus stock? Thanks, Jim
Thank you Jim! My other truck seen in the other video is an 87 4x4 22R with a Weber carb. As for manifolds go I hear the offenhauser is a better flowing manifold due to the runner design. You can find it on LC engineering's website. Also if you have a 4x4 truck and you do offroad the Weber does not like real steep angles and will bog down you can correct this by doing the "Hill climb mod" I'm pretty sure you can find a write-up on Google still.
This is not true egr delete will always increase power because when exhaust is recirculated it can’t be reburned which means it’s displacing some of the air in each cylinder with exhaust instead of fresh air = lower performance and engine runs hotter
I did this and my check engine light disappeared. But my idle still surges up and down when I press the brake pedal, it started doing that after I did my timing chain and guides. Good video by the way.
Several things you might want to check. Throttle position sensor adjustment. Coolant level/make sure there is no air in the cooling system. Vacuum leaks/The condition of the o-ring that goes around the throttle body idle adjustment screw. All those things can give you a looping idle. If it happened after you did the timing chain I would guess that you probably have a little air in the cooling system.
@@archaicautomotive2444I seemed to have fixed my surging idle. My engine was idling at 1,600 rpm once it was warm and I figured out how to adjust it. Once I adjusted it to run at 1,000 rpm I no longer have the surging idle problem.
Yo great video. Great music too. Quick question. Do you put back the nut and bolt after removing the vacuum tree? Looks like its two of the lower intake manifold bolts?
Yes everything was put back. I actually messed up in the video because you don't need to fully take out the bolt closest to the firewall you can actually just loosen it up and pull the vacuum tree out.
I plan on doing this with my vehicle, but doesn't this cause it to run lean? Like the O2 sensor is used to getting that much extra air, when it stops getting it doesn't it make it go rich?
No as far as know The computer will just adjust mixture accordingly. All the air injection/ egr system does is make the burn a little cleaner by injecting a little fresh air into the cylinders for cleaner burn.
At 3:36 You have remove throttle body and vtv vacuum lines ... the 2 lines you disconnected from the front that are one on top of the other and has that little black cap on top.... what do you do with those? Cap them off?
Just came across this video THANK YOU ! My headgasket blew , just got the head back Friday , so this is the perfect time to do it ! & what resister did you use ?
I'm both my Toyota trucks the EGR was full of carbon and no longer worked, not to mention on the 22RE the fuel filter is much easier to get to now with the air injection system out of the way.
@@toyscars978 I personally don't think it adds any power but some people will argue that. A big added benefit though is that it keeps all that nasty carbon crap out of the intake.
@@archaicautomotive2444 I believe they are the bimetal valve to the egr diagram. It is the valve threaded into the coolant line just above the cold start temp sensor.
Runs just fine. I assume you could do it on an automatic too shouldn't really make a difference. As far as gas mileage goes I can't say I've noticed an increase or decrease.
@@archaicautomotive2444 Cool. I am having an issue with the EGR vacuum modulator causing problems shifting (I suspect), and they are getting hard to find aftermarket at parts stores, so I was thinking about deleting that whole system.
Mine does not have power steering but when hose should connect directly to the manifold and the other should connect to the idle adjuster in the center of the manifold. As for the EGR I just taped off the connector but to prevent check engine light you want to put a resistor in place.
What'd you do with the VSVs on top of that bracket? I have a brown, blue, and a grey one... do you just unplug their vacuum hoses and electric connectors?
Cleaner engine bay, easier access to the starter and fuel filter. And that's really it besides the block off plates you just cap off what you don't need.
Yes if your truck is a California model you should have an EGR. Also fresh air comes from the air pump underneath the intake manifold. It injects fresh air into the exhaust ports through those large metal lines that wrap around the back of the engine.
That is a very good question... I couldn't tell you. I live in a state where we don't require emissions. But I would say most likely not if you live in California.
What is the name of the red/orange plug at 4:03 right in front of your hand I'm having a hard time finding out what that is called. Correction, what is the blueish one behind it called mine is broke
@archaicautomotive2444 gotcha that's what I also did. MAN I had a intermittent miss at idle for 7ish years. Bypassed the friggen VSV. Did the trick ! So crazy.
@@billythomas4527 Right on man Glad to hear your truck runs better! That's one of the reasons I see a point in doing the emissions delete. After 30+ years a lot of that old stuff doesn't work anymore or at least not correctly.
Clean out? Its pretty easy to take off the upper plenum just a few bolts. Eagle One aluminum cleaner and pressure washer works great for cleaning them.
No none of this is really necessary, it's basically emission stuff. Except if you have air conditioning you want to leave that little black VSV hooked up.
Thanks. Gonna do this to my 88 4Runner. What about the EGR cooling plate? I see there is block offs for that. That was your “pain in the ass” bolt. I have my trans out currently so it’s right there😂

@archaicautomotive2444 okay thank you mine are just unplugged but that's how it came when I bought the truck and didn't know if they needed to be plugged. Thank you again
If you live in a state with no emissions than most of the stuff can be removed. Less clutter in the engine bay and usually a lot of these old emissions Parts don't work right after so many years. Also it makes getting to the fuel filter a lot easier.
@@archaicautomotive2444 thanks brother, did you put your pick up? and the other question is if you only put the egr connector. The plugs of the solenoids are only disconnected?
@@fernandodavidreyesdiaz7037 I don't have the resistor in there I just have it unplugged. Hasn't given me any issue. I figure the best way to add the resistor would be cut off the old connector to the sensor and run the resistor in between.

Just saw the video, very explanatory unlike other videos. Do you have to mess around with the coolant lines that run around the IAC valve? 👍
Thank you and no I didn't have to mess with the coolant lines at all.
What is the advantage of cancel egr system??
Cleans up the engine bay, makes it a lot easier to get to your fuel filter too.
What about the VSV sensors, disconnect them, have two of them only with no factory a/c?
I have one question... If i do this and i get the check engine light how do i take it off??? Thanks
You have to put a resistor into the EGR connector to trick it. 10k ohm I believe.

Best thing I have ever done to my 91

Way! better then that lce engineering one.
Haha yeah the LCE video is crap. One of the reasons I decided to make this video.

@@toyscars978 it adds a lot of power and runs cooler and smoother
Im doing this!
Good luck! Please let me know if you have any questions.
Great video. What did you do with the two vac ports on the valve located under the throttle body tps? Did you cap these off or use them? Thanks
The idle air control valve hoses? I left those alone. I'm pretty sure if you delete that the engine will run like garbage at a cold start.
@@archaicautomotive2444 I believe they are the bimetal valve to the egr diagram. It is the valve threaded into the coolant line just above the cold start temp sensor.
This is interesting. How does it run and idle afterwards? Can you do this on a 22re with an automatic transmission? Does it affect gas mileage?
Runs just fine. I assume you could do it on an automatic too shouldn't really make a difference. As far as gas mileage goes I can't say I've noticed an increase or decrease.
@@archaicautomotive2444 Cool. I am having an issue with the EGR vacuum modulator causing problems shifting (I suspect), and they are getting hard to find aftermarket at parts stores, so I was thinking about deleting that whole system.
@@trentp151 You could also probably temporarily vacuum cap off the connections and see if that makes a difference.
What about the VSV sensors you disconnect them both or just plug them up, no factory a/c? Helpful video.
I disconnected every other one but the AC. I just left that one in place.
And the whole vsv lines and connectors also get deleted ?
Most of them and I just left the connections unplugged and tucked them back.
Question what did you do with the hardness that comes off the egr ? And what about the hoses that come off the power steering??
Mine does not have power steering but when hose should connect directly to the manifold and the other should connect to the idle adjuster in the center of the manifold. As for the EGR I just taped off the connector but to prevent check engine light you want to put a resistor in place.
Do you know what size resistor to use?
Where does the vacuum line coming from the bottom of the fuel pressure regulator run to now? That’s where I’m stuck at on my install.
I just ran it up to one of the ports on the 3 way vacuum connector @11:05
i deleted my vacuum canister since it wasn't working at all. i kept getting the smell of gas in my truck and once i removed it. the smell went away.
What'd you do with the VSVs on top of that bracket? I have a brown, blue, and a grey one... do you just unplug their vacuum hoses and electric connectors?
Yeah just unpluged them and caped them off. The only one I left was the one for the AC.
Good video. Can a problem in this system make a misfire ??
Yes if the EGR is not working correctly it can cause a misfire.
Other than the vacuum lines connected to the carburetor, is the process generally the same for a 22r?
Yes, I'd say it's actually a bit easier. My other truck is a 87 22R so I've done it on both. Let me know if you have any questions.
What does this accomplish and what do you need to put in place besides capping it off
Cleaner engine bay, easier access to the starter and fuel filter.
And that's really it besides the block off plates you just cap off what you don't need.
nice ！ i'm new one, 2 questions: Where does fresh air enter the cylinder? I live in California and must have EGR, right? thank you ！
Yes if your truck is a California model you should have an EGR. Also fresh air comes from the air pump underneath the intake manifold. It injects fresh air into the exhaust ports through those large metal lines that wrap around the back of the engine.
On the models that need the resistor: What size is needed to make the engine light not come on?
10k ohm resistor.
That about the 2 vacuum lines on the ac switch on the top of the valve cover?
I just left those in place.
Can you still pass emissions test that affect anything at all on the engine for the emissions?
That is a very good question... I couldn't tell you.
I live in a state where we don't require emissions. But I would say most likely not if you live in California.
What is the name of the red/orange plug at 4:03 right in front of your hand I'm having a hard time finding out what that is called.
Correction, what is the blueish one behind it called mine is broke
That's the plug for the VSV (vacuum switching valve)
Thanks for replying, I figured out what it was called after a couple days of looking around, one of my ends on the vacuum line broke off
I have the EGR deleted in my 22R but what is the purpose of deleting the air injection?
Nothing really other than a cleaner engine bay.
If the system still works just fine there's no harm in keeping it.
Nice job
Thank you!
I know it doesn’t add hp but does it make it run any better?
I'd say mine runs a little better, the EGR was definitely pretty filled full of carbon.
