Im sure alot of you know what this is.

Im trying to clean my bay up, can i remove this/block it off?

red circle thanks

1993 toyota pickup 22re 5 speed

 

EGR isn't it?
My airbox is on the other side in my 94.

 

i see the egr in the back of the mani so idk if it may be part of it>

and my box used to be over there also i moved it

 

I'm not familiar with EFI gadgets, but it looks about the same size and shape as the resonator in my carbed truck. If it has a similarly sized hose coming out the side I'll bet that's what it is. The resonator (oddly named) is a silencer for the PAIR system. PAIR sends air into the exhaust to help burn remaining fuel and help the catalytic converter work better.

 

so i bet i can just put a small breather filter on it and tuck it away somewhere?

 

What harm is it causing? Removing stuff indiscriminately, particularly from an EFI system, is asking for trouble. I'd leave it alone.

 

Is NOT part of the EGR. Its the Pulsed-secondary Air Injection resonator. The PAIR "injects" clean, fresh air into the exhaust while warming up to help clean the exhaust so emissions are lower at warm-up. You arent gaining or losing anything by blocking it off, other than: higher emissions out-put, it IS illegal, regardless of whether you have emissions testing in your state/county, and your cat can possibly be warn out faster. Possibly cause your O2 sensor to read rich, therefore causing the comp to slightly decrease the fuel injector opening time, making you actually run lean.

 

What 4x4907 said, plus I heard that it makes a lot of extra noise if it's removed.

 

ok so ill leave it on, and find a filter for it and tuck it away
thanks guys

 

ok i figured instead of making a new thread id ask it in here

will this be ok for the tank vent?

 

I suppose, if you're ok with the likely chance of dirt and water getting into your fuel tank. I don't think your fuel pump will thank you for that.

 

id just get some of the bigger vacuum hose and run it some where where its not gonna be a problem, but idk ive never had to do that sort of thing so id just fix it to stock again cuz that seems to work pretty good :grin:

 

well i have the stock stuff still there was nothing wrong with it. so i could mount the can back there it shouldnt be a prob.

Im just trying to get the engine bay cleared of stuff to make it look better

 

off topic, but do you have a pic of your whole engine bay? i'd like to see how they did the intake/battery swap and were able to fit the whole airbox in there - everyone else seems to go with a cone filter and i assumed it was because the box didn't fit.

 

ya here is my thread.
Box fit just fine and with the intake tube attached its snug and dont move.
I plan to get a cone filter just havent seen one I want yet lol.

LOL. To me, cleaning up the engine bay is such a low priority, and a weird thing to do. I do not, and will likely never think that I am smarter than a Toyota engineer. When anybody goes in and starts removing stock parts, he or she is asking for problems down the road.

I saw this kind of thing all the time working on motorcycles and ATVs. And guess what, I was fixing it because of some mod the owner did to it. LOL!

But, then again, I'm happy with stock performance since I'm not racing my truck.

 

Thats cool man Im happy for your. I of course am not a stock kinda guy. I like to work on my car.
But to everyone there own right

 

I did a similar intake/battery swap and it was the simplest thing.. if you want to know how to go about it send me an email.



This is where i connected the ground battery terminal .. right to the block


I bought a plastic battery tray $6.00 from Advance Auto Parts:


This is the flat bar bracket that holds up the AFM i made out of aluminum flat bar from Home Depot $3.00
