1UZ-FE EGR Delete Kit

The Lextreme 1UZ-FE EGR Delete Kit offers a comprehensive solution for removing the factory Exhaust Gas Recirculation system on 1990-1997 Lexus and Toyota 1UZ-FE V8 engines. This kit goes beyond simple block-off plates, providing all necessary components, including CNC-machined parts, hardware, a radiator bypass hose, vacuum lines, and plug caps, to fully eliminate the EGR system. The included resistor is crucial for preventing check engine or Malfunction Indicator Lights (MIL) after the EGR system is deleted. Removing the EGR system offers several benefits for your 1UZ-FE engine. It leads to lower intake temperatures, resulting in a denser air charge and potentially more power, while also removing heat soak from the rear of the cylinder head. This eliminates common failure points such as cracked EGR pipes and leaks, saving you from costly repairs and avoiding check engine lights. A cleaner engine bay is another advantage, making other components more accessible. Additionally, some users report a modest improvement in fuel economy and increased exhaust flow, which can be beneficial for forced-induction builds. This kit is specifically designed for all 1990-1997 1UZ-FE V8 engines, with primary fitment for the Lexus LS400, Lexus SC400, and Toyota Soarer, as well as vehicles with 1UZ engine swaps. Instructions are detailed for 1990-1994 LS400 and 1990-1996 SC400 models. For 1996-1997 models, minor modifications may be necessary, such as drilling a hole in one plate and adjusting hardware or studs. Newer models may have different vacuum lines and EGR valves, and the PCV system can be vented to air, fitted with a small filter, or rerouted to another vacuum port. The original stock gaskets are reused during installation.
