Removing the EGR system on a Gen 3 5VZ T4R?

[Lizard333]

I have been researching this but haven't found much in regards to the 5VZ motors on the Gen 3's. I have had the code coming up a couple of times, and its starting to get annoying. I live in a county that doesn't emission test or inspect so that isn't a concern. LCE performance has a block off kit, but that doesn't entail all that's required to be removed.

I am going to be replacing all of my vacuum lines in silicone, and if I can save a few bucks and remove a pain in my but at the same time, GREAT!!

The 5VZ-FE in the 3rd gen 4Runners, never had an EGR system.

i think T100s had it

The EGR was only on OBDI 5VZ's, so not on 3G 4Runners. It was on OBDI T100's. It was connected to those funny capped-off nipples on the top of our throttle bodies. NOW you know what they are for!

(I'm only 90% sure on the T100 part.)

Sort of a related question here but does anyone sell a premade silicone vacuum hose kit for the 3rd gen 5vzfe?
