What did you do to ur Gen III Prius today????

Repurposed? What did you guys use?

 

Made sure a part of you was there this round.

Good catch and we used some of it.

 

@edspecR had some headliner material (basically old scrim matting) that he put in the doors of his c.

I bet it’s quieter now.

 

We had our fair share of work ourselves lol... lots of filming in the heat.

 

What’s up next?

 

Just the 05 Camry, nothing Prius related lol

 

We were.

Some follow up from yesterday. @The Critic gave me his spare cooler and I collected @mrjeff ’s cooler so cleaned them this morning .

The setup:



Before pics:
36k mile cooler from the critic:



Mr. Jeff’s cooler (100 k mile cooler):


After pics (5 minutes with 1700 psi pressure washer):


They both look the same.

Ready for the next time and no need to soak or mess with anything other than water.

 

Yup! That's my trick too! It's amazing how much stuff comes out


iPhone ?

 

How many have you guys done and how fast is the process for you?

 

Have not done shit to the car for awhile.

Ghey

 

Very stealth and hard to spot.

Added a 12v port in the trunk.
This one is always on so I can use my portable pressure whasher after the MTB ride.

 

Ray, I did mine that way too. 3000 psi in both directions for about 10 minuets total. I still washed it out with Spray Nine several times afterward. I was surprised how much came out with the Spray Nine after the pressure washing. The stainless was spotless.I also pressure washed the EGR valve, EGR tube and the intake manifold.

 

Planning on doing a quick check maybe this weekend with a brake Kleen chaser to ensure we are good.

Was curious from @RightOnTime or @sfv41901 how many egr circuit cleanses they have done and the time the do it in.

Always good to refine as you go if you can.

 

Believe we are on our 11th EGR. The more we do the more we can refine the service as we go.

It all depends on how many miles that are on the car and how clogged up it is when we start

As of now, the most efficient way to remove that gunk is through water at a high pressure. My trick is to go to our local $1.00 car wash and have at it

It's a bit easier if the EGR runs through our parts washer first


iPhone ?

 

How long to get the complete egr circuit cleanse done from removing the windshield wiper cowling to reinstalling the cowling?

 

So two 30 minute cycles through our parts washer - includes everything that we can fit - then about 30 minutes of high pressure hose fun for the EGR cooler


iPhone ?

 

So 1 hour for cleaning, then how much time in for everything else?

The fastest I have done the complete disassemble and reassemble (with a cleaned cooler ready to insert) is 6 hours which was with extra hands.

 

R&R (no cleaning) can be done in 3 hours with shop tools? Just a guess though.

 

they are gonna have to charge some sodas (no off brands) and some non arbys for this info
