I have a 1993 Toyota Dolphin RV and this is the engine it uses. Looking to do all k can do to simplify it for durability so these vids help. Thanks a ton.
I have a 1990 Toyota pickup. I’m considering the egr delete but I’m concerned about how the engine will run afterwards and will the computer be ok or will it sense that something is missing and have the engine light come on?
Love it. I'm working on replacing valve cover gaskets, that led to having the upper intake cleaned twice by a machine shop. Wich now is leading to me wanting to take lower intake of and do the same. So while I'm there might just as well replace knock sensor and do the egr delete. Yours is thus far the most complete delete. Love the practicality and all the useless stuff gone.
That's the best looking 3vze I've ever seen. Like you said, still kind of an ugly motor but much less so. Really cleans up the tubing nightmare and should make maintenance easier and more fun. I think I know what the next upgrade on my 1st gen 4runner is going to be. Thanks for sharing!
Dude, this looks soooo clean! Congrats! Can I just ask you two things quick? Do you have any issues with the engine running after the EGR delete, overheating? What are the blue coolant hoses - are they specific for the model or cut and bend diy?
Building a 3.0 to handle some boost. My main question, i understand removing the pair and egr solenoids but why the fpu? No check engine light or lean/rich problems? Sorry for the attack of questions 😂, trying to reduce the amount of places that accidentally turn into weapons when boost is applied.
I've unooked them and hooked them up a few times cuz I had an issues with the hot start but it hasn't made any difference. It runs just fine but I do have a switch to prime the pump on hot days or long drives. But again, hooking them solenoids up didn't help any.
Sweet video! Any issues vapor locking the rails when trying to hot start after removing the VSV? (Red vacuum switch in the gang of 3 switches you completely removed and tucked the wires under the fuse box)
I do but i put the switch back in and found zero difference. I ran a switch where i can prime the pump a few seconds on them days and it cranks fine then
I am confused about the heater core hot water return. My truck has the line go to the back of the plenum on the passenger side, then under the plenum through the steel piping (which you removed) to the front and into the water outlet on the front of the engine that goes to the top of the radiator. Some engines like yours do not have the extra hose nipple on the water outlet to receive the water from the heater core. So I am not sure what to do with the heater hose? I guess I need to run a hose from the firewall to the front of the engine into the water outlet.
Brother how did you get the bolts off the two lower 12 mm for each valve or the EGR. Where the two lower block plates go ? I’m having hell getting to them. Your engine bay looks good
Alright, a lady here. I need some help with my 94 4runner. We just had to replace the wiring harness. The new/used wiring harness was in great condition all plug ends looked great. Now my starter isn't responding. I'm not sure if i have a bad ground or what. We get clicking from the purple relay and a click sound from the computer. The starter is new, and previously worked. I'm stuck as to what to try next. The battery is also good. The starter is getting power it was tested with a meter. Can you tell me where the ground points are. Or link me to a diagram.
I am not sure. I haven't had this issue so I'm not familiar with how to even troubleshoot this. Have you tried a Facebook toyota group? They can be super helpful. Good luck. ❤
hello I did the egr delete and the engine runs smoother and I feel the truck running more agile as if I was running with a large load on the truck before egr delete, but now man what a difference, but the only complaint is that I see the truck running with poor gas mileage. Did you Get the same issue low gas mileage after the egr delete?
Howzit going, I’m about to tackle this EGR delete on my toy 1995 3.0 4Runner. I was wondering all the hose and stuff are the same as your 1995 3.0 pick up to my 1995 3.0 4Runner? Also what happens when the fuel pressure that you completely took off? Where did that go?
Fuel pressure has been fine. Most that stuff is egr junk. The only difference with the pickup and the 4 runner is that some of the 4 runners have a rear heater.
Under your dash, connected to the brake pedal bracket is a relay labeled Fuel Pump. (Doesn't exist in any wiring diagrams I've found cuz smog shit) From studying the diagrams though, I was able to discern that the ecm uses this relay, the o2 sensors, and a vsv to control fuel rail pressure via vacuum. 😳 So, with yours directly connected to the manifold, what kind of MPG are you getting? Also, what difference did the delete make for you besides a cleaner engine bay? More power? More consistent power delivery? What's the pros and cons man. Been contemplating doing this for a minute but as a mechanic I know that the egr actually keeps exhaust gass temps cooler by reducing oxygen intake, which is actually beneficial for keeping these engines running a bit cooler. But seeing as how I relocated the crossover tube and have a 3 core aluminum radiator, I may not need the egr anymore for that reason.
I like how it looks lot better. Knock senser don't let anyone talk you into a cheap one and don't forget you knock wire 120 at Napa fir the senser it works perfectly. Wires been there for 25 years to. Yours will be easier because of all the useless crap you got ride of. Nock wire was 20 good guarentee after all the labor you do. Great job!
I've been told that the EGR is actually intended to cool the combustion temperatures, -- reducing the intake volume of combustible gases by increasig the intake percentage of non combustible gases (exhaust.) How is it running on heat? Are you running Catless? ALSO: The Exhaust Crossover (Heat near the 5th and 6th Cylinders) is believed to be the primary cause of failing head gaskets on this engine. .. As well as the coolant temperature and other electrical connectors just behind the manifold... Will you be swapping the Headers (Crossover Delete?)
I know all about how the egr works but with this 3vze we won't have any issues there. It won't get hot enough to be an issue. As far as the headers go i don't drive my truck enough to worry about it
I looked into deleting the EGR for a couple years and talked to a lot of people before I moved foward with it. None of which have ever had any issues with the EGR delete onnthe 3vze and some have put tens of thousands or more miles on them. Hope this helps
What about the coolant outlet line that is in that mess of hardlines? mine has a coolant line that goes to the wateroutlet. yours has a completely different looking outlet cap there.
It's the thickness of that coolant line that seems to be the problem. I wonder if the largest of fuel lines might be a good option... Whenever I'm under the hood, I just keep forgetting to follow where it connects to on the other end of the metal spaghetti mess.
Mine is 4x4. Main thing is checking with your state laws. TN doesn't have emissions. As far as issues, the LCE kit comes with resistors to delete the code and other than that EGR bolts and parts can be difficult to remove where they seize up
It's quiet. When I was using the ebay cold air it sounded awful. But the way I have it now it's quiet. Just easier to remove if I want to work on the truck. No issues. Runs great
It will get a code but the LCE kit comes with 2 different resistors. The right one for your truck will eliminate this. As far as emissions Tennessee has no expectation. some states don't worry as much about older vehicles, Especially OBD1 and back. But always check with your state laws
Thank You. Did a EGR delete and could not get it to run right. Vacuum leak from the front bolt I left out. You pointed it out in the video.
Awesome!
Ya,,,that frickn bolt eh? lol Wondered why I had to adjust the clicks on afm too much and couldnt idle down below 1000 rpm...
Dude, I went through the bolt issue yesterday when I deleted mine... funny stuff. Glad to find easy info on the subject here :)

thanks for watching ! more to come. just been busy zipping up trees. just got me a brand new stihl. super stoked !!!!!
also, them filters making a shit sound, really loud. so i went back to the box. you can upgrade to K&N there and probably benefit greater
I just posted another video. Engine looking even better
ua-cam.com/video/TIlGJzT9rn0/v-deo.html
Any issues with the check engine light? I just did a full rebuild on my motor and I’m deleting a lot of the unnecessary.
No engine lights. The LCE kit comes with everything. Including 2 capacitors to loop for the engine light.
Dude, this looks soooo clean! Congrats! Can I just ask you two things quick? Do you have any issues with the engine running after the EGR delete, overheating? What are the blue coolant hoses - are they specific for the model or cut and bend diy?
No issues or overheating. The hoses are HPS high temp silicone and are vehicle specific.
Thank you! I removed it last week and am amazed how much free space I got now!

Did you Get the same issue low gas mileage after the egr delete?
no mines better, but I've also did other other things such as the knock relocate
Wish I could do this but I need to pass emissions
Also, what do you do with the evap hoses underneath after the disconnect? Thanks
I just left mine open. I've seen where someone else just relocated the evap canister above the gas tank
Is there a way that I can contact you. I am busy doing the exact same as you , but am unsure about 2 hoses?
Btw great video!
you can find me on FB. look up Douglas Leon. east Tennessee

Thanks. You should see it now. Video coming soon.
Thanks you , you help me a lot , I did same work on mine truck , and she is running smoothly

I just realized I said to drain the fuel system 😂. I meant coolant 5:09 😅😂😢🥴
to which connector exactly the resistance goes for de EGR delete ???
There's only one EGR plug. Thats the one it goes in. Hope that helps
But the plug has like 4 pins I think
Did it last month easy --4-12-22 run so much better
hells yeah man !

awesome! thanks ! i haven't bought any parts yet. just got me a new stihl. but i did buy the pigtail, just need a sensor that does the job
On the back, is it the part that has two plastic bits coming off of it that you're capping off?
Yes !
😘
You don’t need to use a vacuum switch valve when connecting a vacuum to the fuel pressure regulator?
No cuz it has a vacuum line already. I just bypassed that pipe mess
What did you do with the vacuum lines for the 4wd?
Pickup manual doesnt have any

Bro, where did you bought the kit online? Thanks
The EGR delete is from LCE. Buy it directly off thier website
Got it bro..thanks a lot EGR delete kit
What about the coolant outlet line that is in that mess of hardlines? mine has a coolant line that goes to the wateroutlet. yours has a completely different looking outlet cap there.
I don't remember having a coolant line on the metal mess. Just fuel and vacuum
Is yours a 4 runner with the rear heater ? They are different. Mines a pickup
I'm looking for an answer to the same question. My pickup has that also. still trying to figure that out. ... 88 Pickup, MT
@@gregeryhitchcock2338 just follow the lines. Not too much to these old trucks once ya figure them out. Good luck

Wait till you all see what I'm doing with this intake to clean it up ! 😀
where did you get the kit from
LCEs official website. Total will run you like $28
good helpful vid
Definitely helpful when you're under the hood working on it !
I love it
Thanks. About to take it down to fix the knock sensor. Who knows what else I may do with it !
I did the same thing to mine we don’t have emissions
Nice. Which state do you live in ? TN is pretty lax about stuff.

Very clean, this helped me out immensely
Nice !!

Taking out the egr doesn't it make it not pass smog?
we don"t have smog test at all in Tennessee, but yes.
Does this cause a code? And will it pass emissions like this?
It will get a code but the LCE kit comes with 2 different resistors. The right one for your truck will eliminate this. As far as emissions Tennessee has no expectation. some states don't worry as much about older vehicles, Especially OBD1 and back. But always check with your state laws
Wanted to do the same elbow for mine. What size did you get yours? HPS has the full kit and I just want the elbow for the cold air intake
I can't remember. 3 inch I believe. Just measure the flow meter diameter
I don't know the angle. It's from one I picked up for 5 bud. Probably off a Honda or something lol
Where did you get your intake pipe?
made it mostly from scrap stuff I had
Any of these changes effect air conditioner ?
Not at all.
What is your guys mpg
Not good. 😁
Good job! Great video. Thanks.
you're welcome, my friend
Great job buddy.. 🤠
thanks !
How much better does it run after doing the delete?
I haven't noticed a difference much but I also need to fix my knock sensor. It's been bad for a while
