So is there a step by step guide for fitting the blanking plate on the 150 series, and where to fit it for the best benefit, as I can;t seem to find one any where on line.

Hi Si. Firstly: yuck. Secondly do you mean egr blank and catchcan were installed previously, or are you going to do it now? If they were already in, how many kms before and after the install has your car done?

Hi ####,
When fitting the blanking plate do I need a gasket either side or does the plate just fit between the gasket and the pipe?
How much needs to be disassembled to fit the plate?Comment

My catch can installation and 500km of catched crap.

No need extra gasket. You are correct it goes between.Originally posted by Limo Guy View Post
To do it right, remove & clean egr etc, some very fiddly parts.
4 hrs work for me. Sometimes more 150's & aftermarket accessories in the way take longer.
Some DIY have spent most of the day in pain.
Others rip through it real fast.Comment

Mine runs better after a dose of this:

Don't know what the egr looks like; don't want to know either. Runs nicely now, no smoke... catcher installed so shouldn't deteriorate too quickly. Will spray more intake cleaner periodically to keep it in check.150 D4D GX with big tyres, TPMS, Tracklander, GME, Safari breathing straw & super soft squishy custom rear springs.Comment

had mine done today, EGR clean, restriction plate, injector clean and tappet check. I saw the pics of mine at 160km, not a pretty sight. First impressions on the road - the manual has a lot less lag off the mark, pulling away from low RPM is much nicer now and i don't think that the car has ever run so well since i have owned it.
well worth having one installed.Comment

looking forward to what you are doing with the full EGR block with the clean air supply. Had an email back from Ozbush Electronics who are working on an electronic fix for the codes when a full block is in place , invited Young to join PradoPoint so he can help solve our problems with a full EGR block electronically.Originally posted by Ages View Post

Hi guys
I'm looking into doing this mode with my 150. It has a provent installed at 4000km and its now done around 18k on the clock.
is it fair to say that the blowby contributes havily to the baking or making up of the soot? Meaning if there was no oil in the mix the soot would just be more dust and just getting caught up in the engine oil?
I'm also confuse with the egr hole.in the plate. If we are seeing a build up of thick soot in the egr body over some time wouldnt we be shortening this time frame by providing a smaller hole to be blocked?Prado MY14 150 Series Altitude - Rhino Pioneer rack with backbone system, Tint, Fuel Manager Pre-Filter Fuel/Water Separator, Mann Provent 200 oil catch can, Toyota 2.5T Tow Bar, Scangauge2, TJM T3 winch bar, Narva HID 225, Polyair Air bags, 2" lift (Bilstein & Kings), Uniden 7700 with GME AE4018BK3, 32" LED Light bar, 2mt Awning, 1100mm Treds with mount platesComment

No, blow by is usually a very small amount of oil must which accumulates at joins.Originally posted by evltoy View Post
It does act as the glue for the DHUEGR, other than that it's not a problem.
The only thing some catch cans will do is reduce the oil mist, some dont work that well & some that do may restrict the PCV, which is important to help prevent sludge.
The flow reduction mod is well away from oil & build up, just dry soot, so it has a dry Nasty surface costing, bit not a build up.
It's later where the DHUEGR meets the oil mist where things are often blocked.Comment

Hi Anthony,Originally posted by Anth120playdo View Post
So many posts on this subject, even different threads, but I have been thinking about this plate and seems to me that if the EGR flow is restricted then that pressure must go somewhere.
Does the plate actually restrict the flow or simply cause it to flow more like a jet of compressed air rather than a breeze which alters the way it mixes with the other air.
If the gunk does not gather in the inlet then it must be burnt, so it is possible that an engine with a plate may actually pollute less than an engine in standard design.
Do you know if anyone has actually tested the exhaust to compare the difference, unlikely I suppose as the plate is so simple to copy that no one could make any money out of it.
Does this different air mix put any pressure on other parts of the motor ? I though maybe it burns hotter or cooler or something.Comment
