Are you guys desmogging your engines, or just leaving them as-is? :)

Does anyone have a writeup on how it is done properly, so the engine still runs well? :)

do not know of a write up on how to do it

what i did is as follows

all EGR passages on exhust side of hears were taped and plugs installed

EGR on itake was removed and a cover over the area to seal it off.

all sensors from motor were removed and plugs installed

dist removed and replaces with a DUI unit [one wire]

carb removed and intake adapated ot VW fuel injection [ mech type basic a throttle body style

someof this in the near future willbe removed as i am thinking about going to propane but have questions as to if it comes with a special carb or do i have to use the toyota one

exhust is handle via a 2 tube header in to 2.5 inch pipe with a turbo tucked up hig to floor and the exhust routed back exiting from reab by the tail light to kee wter outof tail pipe ane motor i hope in case of water crossings :)

Does anyone have some information for doing this on a 22RE with the stock fuel injection system? :)

not sure you can you are going to have to leave all the sensors in place for the computor to see

bet you can pull the

the computor is going to have to see them egr you can remove i bet but you have to leave the egr senore on the wring
at least with ford you do
i have convert a lot of ford to late model fuel injection
