Intake Silencer Removal Question???
 

After searching for this mod, I haven't been able to find the answer to my question...
Where should I connect the FPR hose, I have a 2000 SR5 2wd.

I read:
"2002 Intake Silencer Removal Mod 3rd Gen 3.4 Engine:
Paul (ALBPM)"

and

"Intake Silencer Removal Mod 3rd Gen 3.4 Engine:
Galen (Dr. Zhivago) "

Those instructions are for a 4x4 and I don't have the hoses that they are using to connect the FRP hose.

I initially pull out the hose and put a 7/32 vacuum cap on there.
If I do that, I will have full pressure at all times. My question is, how bad is to have fuel pressure at all times?

I have the 2 1/2 sch .40 PVC tube I want to chage it for the stainless pipe. Where can I buy a stainless pipe to replace the silencer box?

Thanks in advance.

dude..you were just reading my mind..I have been trying to search for this here too...

Follow Dr. Z's recommendations. It's not bad to run with the FPR plugged all the time. Dr. Z has found that to be the best set-up for the 99's and up. The 96 - 98's are a different story.

As for the stainless pipe, I think most guys got it at a muffler shop.

I could not find anything when I did the search...
I am interested in reading both "2002 Intake Silencer Removal Mod 3rd Gen 3.4 Engine:

and

Good link to have

My next question is, if is not bad to have pressure all the times, why do our rigs have a Fuel Pressure Regulator for?

Thanks for all the help

Thank you

After Dr. Z discovered that it was better to run with the FPR capped. I disconnected the FPR from the plenum on my 02 4x4.

I thought it would be best to have some vacuum on the FPR so I went back to my original setup using a "T" and connecting it to the EVAP hose.

I dont think Toyota figured we would be removing their silencers and cutting in deckplates. ;)

It also may have something to do with open and closed loop operation. Dr Z could explain it better. Where is Galen anyway?
