So @BRADS For me the reason I didn’t want to blank the EGR was because when I bought my Hilux in Australia, I knew that there would be many long, continuous operating hours trips at relatively light engine loads as we cruised from A to B across the outback. When we crossed the Nullarbor we would drive over 1,300km in one hit, from Kal to Penong, sometimes further.
We would be sitting at a fairly consistent 100km/h for the entire journey at a moderate engine load, monitored on the Scangauge II, so the EGR would be open pretty much the whole time. With the mileage I was doing on a new engine I was far more concerned about not screwing up the ECU’s ability to manage combustion temperature, than I was about a slightly sooty valve & intake manifold.
