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 TH-cam
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.
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?
@@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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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 ?
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'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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
It’s funny cause I actually found and purchased them before you got a chance to reply haha but thank you anyway! I have deleted it now and it’s all good hah thank you very much
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
@@archaicautomotive2444 Well I just wanted to know if you only have the egr plugs and the solenoid plugs disconnected to do the same thing you did and remove it from my pick up my brother
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 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
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😂

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.
Fantastic been chasing a egr system issue but ca just won't let me live my life
Glad it helps! Also F California 😂
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.
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.
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
Nice job
Thank you!
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?
Yes I just capped them off.
@@archaicautomotive2444 thank you ....
@@kimberlycrotts858 Of course, glad it helps!
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?
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.
Thank you
Glad it helps!
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 didn't use a resistor on mine but any 10K ohm resistor you can find at an electronic shop should work.
Thanks for the info ! @@archaicautomotive2444
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 bolts do I need to buy to use these plates.. I bought plates but came with no hardware?
Should be M8x1.25 bolts. Not sure on the exact length. Probably 20 or 30mm
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
On the models that need the resistor: What size is needed to make the engine light not come on?
10k ohm resistor.
New to 22re, might be a stupid question but the removal of all this is just for looks or what benefit does it do?
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.
@@archaicautomotive2444 I understand but only for the fuel did you take it away or does it have any benefit such as more power?
@@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.
@@toyscars978 it adds a lot of power and runs cooler and smoother
Its dope
That about the 2 vacuum lines on the ac switch on the top of the valve cover?
I just left those in place.
Where do I get one of these block kits ? Is that something I can ask for at the auto place or so I order it ? What do you call it ?
Lots of companies have them for sale. These are from Yota one I posted the link in the description.
Excellent video, I just wish you would've shown how you hooked up the AC vac switch.
Thanks! The only thing I did was unbolt the AC vacuum switch from the bracket. The lines are still in the same location as they originally were.
@@archaicautomotive2444 Thank you.
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.
I have a 1985 4runner SR5 with 22rec and I want to do the same thing. how will I clean out the plenum?
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.
@@archaicautomotive2444 Thanks, I will do just that!
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.
If I live in a state that requires smog, I won’t pass smog with EGR delete?
California huh? No I don't think you will.
So the fuel pressure regulator does get used not deleted also ? And if so does it stay bolted onto the air injection valve but just capped off ?
No the fuel pressure regulator stays in place.
I've watched this a ton to get these damn vacuum lines right
Glad it helps you!
That's why I make these videos.
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 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.
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.
It does add hp
Way! better then that lce engineering one.
Haha yeah the LCE video is crap. One of the reasons I decided to make this video.
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.
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.
Can you post a link to the block off plates you used? Trying to delete my 91
