EGR cooler

[turbodan]

i have a question? i was fooling around with my supra today and i noticed it didn't have the EGR cooler on it. can the car run without it or will i need to find one and put on it. the owner of the car before drove it without it, im just curious about.

Thanks for any info,
Dano

The egr cooler is just a crossover routing the exhaust gasses around the head. if you are running without an egr system it is not needed, you can just block off the holes. I dont recommend running without an egr system however without an aftermarket or jdm ecu.

If you don't have the cooler plate on the back of the head there is a port back there that you need to tap and plug. I you leave this open exhaust and or flame will poor out of there causing at the very least a drop in engine performance and a laggier turbo. It will also burn thru the heater coolant hose and anything else within close range. It will also be very loud. :aigo:

However if its already plugged or welded (not a good idea due to warping of the head) then you should be fine.

Heres a pic of the EGR system. If you have a JDM engine like I bought there were just some steel blockoff plates that went over the passage on the head where the exhaust gasses come from and one one the intake. I bought the egr cooler and gasket from a local toyota dealer and bought the rest from the classifieds on here. If you ever need help with how things bolt together the online TSRM and EPC is a great way to find out.

What TxSupra said! Don't run that car without SOMETHING blocking or connecting the EGR/exhaust ports!

thanks for the info guys.
i went ahead and put the cooler on for safety cuz i already had one

still need to attach the egr to the other side of the cooler (aka port on the intake side of the head).

I dont reccomend running without working EGR w/o JDM ECU, B/C you will run lean in mid throttle.

Should you decide to disregard my advice, get block off plates. DO NOT run the car with that open. Guess whats right behind it? Your brake lines. With that open you will dump hot exhaust onto them, boiling your brake fluid, and when you hit your brakes the pedal will go to the floor and you will likely crash.

yes guys i put the whole EGR set up on there and its all complete finally. its a really easy set up lol cut again thanks for the info and help
