EGR System
Im interested in this mod...so whats the final verdict?
Do we disconnect a plug, block a hose, or fit an actualy blanking plate somewhere?
ChipIt, if your chip can overcome any fault codes that get logged Im assuming you've come across this mod on a hilux, so more info would be apppreciated.
So this spools the turbi earlier/quicker? is that right, coz I could do with some more of that.

tufflux08 wrote:Hi Robert as you know i have a CHIP IT module and has the smoke issues, well i blanked the EGR as you said and also blocked that vacuum hose which actuates the valve. i drove for about 200kms and noticed the engine malfunction light has come on, i removed the negative battery terminal and reset it , the light stayed off for another 400 kms but has come on again and now wont stay off for more than 10kms. i thought the chip it module should stop this light from coming on?? do you think maybe its something else setting this light off??
CHIP IT wrote:Hi guys.
Our Chip allows us (you) to change the MAP sensor voltage emulation so as to tell the factory ECU that there is enough pressure in the manifold. For all vehicle we have tested this defeats the EGR blanking error codes.
What is interesting is that today we successfully re-tuned a 05 Lux. We achieve really high results (numbers) and did not get any error codes where some 05 - early 06 vehicle were giving us (and other Chip manufacturers) grief
We were recently told that someone had error codes with the Chip and when went back to the dealer (without the chip installed) he asked the dealer to errr ... "check out the vehicle" and the dealer reportedly said the vehicle had an injector failing. Once this was fixed the Chip was re-installed and the error that was there previously disappeared. Go figure.
I wonder if these error codes were all, in fact, injector related. i know many have had injector issues. Any news and info on this guys ???
This 05 Lux that we did today (Monday) will be back in on Wednesday for the EGR blank. We will have more news (and hopefully pics) then.
mmaaxx, the turbo does indeed spool quicker (as it is not "losing" that small amount of pressure to the inlet manifold.
Cheers

Here is a copy of my previous post:
Here is a link to a schematic of the 3.0 engine EGR system:
http://www.toyodiy.com/parts/p_G_200703 ... _2501.html
First I removed the 2 bolts to attempt to make up a blank in place of gasket "25628" as Brendon has done on his, but this also involves loosening a heap of hard to get at bolts so the who EGR cooling system can be moved. So I decided this would be a long & hard job & put it back together. Ideally, I would like a plate installed but that will be further down the track after a bit more testing.
So, from there I removed the vacuum line to the EGR 2 valve "25630" & then folded it over & put a zip tie around it. After I've finished testing I'll block it with a ball bearing & replace it so it looks all factory.
Took it for a test drive & have found the following:
- No error codes appeared
- Turbo boosts up at lower RPM a bit more (hardly noticeable really)
- When coasting down hill the water temp drops 2-3 degrees. My guess is that without the hot exhaust gasses going through the EGR cooler, the cooling system is less stressed.
- Idle down time is much quicker. EGT temps drop noticeably quicker at idle.
Hope this helps!
