Possible Monthly install meets. Bay Area-Fremont

Smh, not even an air filter change in sight

 

It was great to see everyone today. Glad I was able to help!

And thanks for the donuts!

 

Didn’t need to bring the donuts but got to eat some.

I have your cleaned egr cooler as well as tools with me, so we can meet up along the way soon.

 

They’re all clean upon inspection .

When are we meeting up in Dublin again?

 

I'm off on Sundays and Mondays

 

Did you guys snap photos of the installed OCC locations? I am still dumping my OCC every month or so therefore I left it sitting next to the inverter coolant reservoir, but eventually I want to install somewhere in a better way. My first choice is at the area of behind the headlight with the 3D printed mount, just like Danlatu and @NutzAboutBolts did.

 

@Grit went low in the exact place I have mine .

Only he has a corn can to hold his upgraded catch cans compared to the green bean can that holds my Ruein style catch can.

@tallassazn went to the drivers headlight area without a mount, where @wvs2003 has a 3D printed holder that wasn’t all together.

I’m sure it’ll be reprinted soon and might be willing to share if you talk nice enough .

Maybe we’ll see you next time as @Grit was looking for you.

 

LOL yeah, I wanted to checkout @Grit LED headlight as others have comments of the LEDs have strong glare and no throw.

Did @tallassazn fixed the TPMS issues from last time?

Man I missed the fun gathering, hope to be there next time!!!

 

Mind like a steel trap.

I forgot about @tallassazn ’s TPMS light, but it’s still on.

We had a good time and hope to see you next round .

 

Thanks again @Raytheeagle for hosting! I certainly enjoyed helping out and talking prius stuff! I'm gonna upload the photos from the meetup this past sunday (2/17).

 

Yall please feel to use these photos for your reference, to share on your own posts, or to save for good ol' memories Enjoy!

I'll also ask my family relative to see if we can get some more of that 3D printed bracket for the OCC. The brackets that were originally printed were too tight and snapped apart, so we may need to revise the inner diameter a little bit. Thank you again to @danlatu for sharing the 3D file for the OCC bracket.

From @tallassazn prius work: OCC up high behind driver's light

• taking apart, overall view
• OCC: attaching 3/8" fuel hose directly into PCV valve
• OCC: looking good with the purple OCC!!
• OCC: 3/8" fuel hose goes between PCV valve and "in" of OCC
• OCC: Order of connections, "Out" of OCC, 3/8" fuel hose, 3/8" hose barb splicer, and PCV hose half with the "big end"

From @Grit prius work: OCC down low behind fan

• Taking apart, throttle body still attached
• taking apart, overall view
• OCC: possible fail in design of OCC, hard to tighten/loosen the OCC's nipple (referring to smaller nipple on bottom)
  
• OCC: using tin can of corn to help keep OCC in place, holes drilled through tin can to help with tie strap
• OCC: putting tin can down low with tie straps, right behind fan
• OCC: connecting fuel hoses to OCC
• OCC: fuel hose for OCC's inlet goes from PCV to bottom opening for OCC

 

Thanks again to @Raytheeagle for hosting the meet up and helping with the big EGR maintenance and OCC. I'm pretty sure if I tried to do this myself last weekend, the car would still be apart in the garage.

 

I missed the invite...... well add me for next time.

 

Follow along here and if you have a suggestion on dates or times, always willing to entertain options .

The only time we stray away from this thread is to discuss addresses, which we don’t list for public knowledge .

But we post the list in advance for signing up.

 

Who wants to replace my headgasket for me?

 

I can help.

When does the fun begin?

 

Where?

Big thanks to @wvs2003 & @The Critic for coming out to help dissemble my Prius and @tallassazn for cleaning EGRs & getting those back screws on the EGR. It means a lot to me because I plan to drive my Prius into the ground, not gonna sell it in other words so all the work put into to it will be for keeps. And special thanks for @Raytheeagle for help wrenching everything back together on both Prius, putting us in his busy schedule.

 

Probably next week. I had to order a few tools that I do not already have.

 

Seriously? 3/1 or 3/2 is a possibility? Count me in.
