1KZTE Intake/Port Clean, EGR Valve + Glow Plugs 

Great job mate. Thanks for taking the time to document this for us all 👍

Great job and very detailed. Thanks for sharing

hello mate…ex pat Kiwi watching from over here in Oz…had the EGR and intake manifold decoked professionally on my 2004 Hilux Turbo Diesel…they used a pressure clean and solvent system…cost me a pretty penny but it was worth it…also had the EGR deleted at the ECU..(no blocking plate). One of the best mods you can do on these 1KZTE motors is a 3 inch exhaust…you don’t have to spend big on a stainless steel name brand…just go to any muffler shop and get a mild steel mandrel bent unit…does exactly the same thing as a high end system…a 3inch hole is a 3inch hole…they can do it in under 4hrs…$480 bucks…thats en extra 3hp right there …money well spent!

1KZ engines benefit from: Opening up the spill valve a bit more Bigger exhaust Air filter upgrade EGR system cleaned out Bit more boost Injector nozzles cleaned/replaced and opening pressures reset. Factory ceramic glowplugs replaced with Italian made Twin-coil steel glowplugs. Factory hose from intercooler to inlet replaced with quality silicone hose. The small charcoal filter in the boost pressure line deleted and replaced with a tiny paper inline fuel filter. Replacing EDC-V4 injector pump ( which really are uber reliable) with a 4M4O-T or a modified 2L,3L or 5L mechanical pump.

Great video and clear walkthrough of the job!

Greetings from Sydney, Oz. Great video mate. Well done, great music in the background too !

Good job 0:35 0:37

Great. Im on the 11 am bolt reeeee

I started taking my intake off today but the EGR nuts are really seazed up so will soak it with penetrant and try again in a few days. I see you got your EGR nuts off the intake side. My intake looks about the same as yours for build up of crap. Doing the injectors, timing belt and install an EGT. Along with a list of other modes and upkeep. Thanks for showing me how it is done, what to expect and the confidence boost. Nice job and look forward to more.🇨🇦

And will it be good if i block my egr with a plate i have recently overhauled my engine and my rpm doesn't go above 3 thousand rpm and it giving me average around 4 km per litre please help me with this problem

Thanks for the thorough video! Have there been any downsides to blanking the EGR? Does it throw any error codes?

Thanks for sharing, what camera do you use for your videos?

hey man nice video its helping me tons. Having a problem getting the injector fuel lines removed to get that last intake manifold bolt on back bottom. did you take the injector fuel lines out then remove the manifold or take out the manifold then the lines? Because the lines block me getting that last bolt out easy. its been a task thats for sure. thanks!

hey man, did you removed the butterflies in the throttle body as well? i did blocked the EGR both ends today and just reading some forums saying it will have to remove the butterflies if not it will restrict air flow? how is your engine going so far? any issue after blocking them?

If your going to attempt this bottom rh 12mm bolt is a bitch there is a big nut on the egr but good luck getting a spanner in there

Hey man, I’m based in waikato and have just done the first half today. Just wondering what you did with all of the vaccuum lines and sensors that went to the egr? Awesome video by the way!

Hey So those two bolts on the exhaust manifold I got the top one, but the bottom is stripped and afraid I’ll snap it if I go any farther with a wrench extractor bit. So if I just disconnect the egr pipe from the intake manifold side where it runs into the egr itself 2 bolts there and block that side, will I have back pressure issues? Like higher egt’s as well? Since exhaust gas will still be able to move through the egr pipe before the manifold intake? Thanks from America 🇺🇸 great video.

I see that you made sure the valve was closed on every intake that you cleaned. But won't the leftover soot and crud still be able to fall into the cylinder when starting the engine?

how do you fit a trundle of flange on the throtle body connecting the intake going to tarbo charge ? please help a video

What material did you use for the EGR blanking plates?

How many miles had it done when you cleaned the inlet manifold.

Hello sir i recently owned 3rd gen 4 runner 1kz te when i put it on drive some times for 4 to 5 seconds it wont move but after 5 seconds when i accelerate it. It start moving kindly help me with it

If you're based in Auckland would you be interested in doing that exact job on my 1KZTE Surf?

did you see an improvement in fuel economy?
