100 series 1HZ extractors

HI Dieselup, Mate what is the fuel usage in kilometers per litre since you blocked the egr system,am interested to hear as I have the same vehicle. Was there a difference before and after disabeling the egr system.And as for extractors there is no point in fitting until you fix the fuel, after you do this yes every point and TOYOTA are learning.

REgards BILLS

SO?????

Hi there Dieselup,

I'd be interested in your experience ... if you have a moment, drop me an email andrew@vividadventures.com.au

Ciao for now

Gidday Blokes,
What do you have to do to disable the EGR?

I have a poverty pack and would be interested in finding out how it has helped.

Hi there Dieselup,

Essentially that is my question - what is involved in disabling it? A couple of photos would be nice ...

From all I can tell, it is not going to have any appreciable difference on economy (given the age of the EGR system it does not have too much sophistication and certainly no integration with an ECU), and will increase power by increasing the oxygen content in the combustion chamber ...

I'd guess there may be a few legality issues - I can remember back to the old Crummydoor VB days putting ball bearings in emission control systems and suchlike was technically illegal ... but it would be something I'll have to look at.

From all my reading, it's purpose is to reduce NOx emissions by lowering oxygen content and air temp ... which NOx emissions will be very low for my Biocruiser anyways.

It will probably reduce soot levels in the oil too ...

Ciao for now
Andrew.

I have fitted a Beaudesert Exhausts 2.5 inch mandrel bent stainless exhaust to the back of Genie Headers to my pov 1HZ. The headers have no provision for the EGR pipe so I made a blanking plate to cover the hole in the inlet manifold. As for power - I can feel the difference, people reckon you need 25% more to feel any change so make your own minds up. Economy - I am driving it harder 'cos it is fun, economy has gone from 11.7 to 11.2, I guess it will improve even more than this when I settle down. There is very little change to the noise outside and almost none inside when driving. Altogether I am rapt.

Value for money...the extracters dont make much difference for the $$ spent...a turbo on the other hand, makes heaps of difference in the "seat of the pants" aswell as outright torque....i would recommend you remove the large muffler for a straight through one, or a turbo muffler at least, which will free up the flow a bit....remember to get the pipe replaced over the crossmember behind this muffler, as it is squashed from the factory....you can fit up to 3 inch through there without a problem.

My 2000 1HZ has Pacemaker mandrel bent extractors and a 2.5 inch system with turbo muffler. I recall that when I got them fitted, seat of the pants feeling was that it pulled heaps better, got rid of the "it's running on four cylinders" feeling at about 2400rpm, and make little difference to the fuel economy. I didn't want to overcomplicate things with a turbo, but I would have loved the extra power. My feeling is that it was good value for money ($800 - $1000) for probably 10 - 15% more torque, but I'd only be guessing. Should've dynoed it. Whats a turbo install cost now - at least $3000 for 30 - 40% increase; about line ball in value methinks.

Also, I was going to go for a 3" exhaust, but was warned off with only a marginal increase in power for significantly more noise being the reason. I'm used to the slight increase in noise now, so I could probably wear it now.
