So I just ordered my LCE headers and they should be here next week. I have my block off plates for the air injection on the exhaust side. I have my block off plate for the EGR on the side of the head and I have my block off plate for the sensor on the intake. Do I eliminate all the vacuum lines and plug them? What about the char coal canister. I read you will have a fuel smell if you leave it unplugged in the engine bay. What else do I need to know about desmogging a 22RE? I have seen plenty of info to desmog a carb 22r but nothing about how to desmog a fuel injected 22RE? Is there anything else I need to know before I get started? What about the bypass tube behind the head? Once its disconnected on both sides I can just leave it there as is? What resistor do I need to install for the sensor so I dont throw EGR codes?

 

So im thinking Im going to install the header, install the block off plates and plug all vacuum lines but leave a line for the fuel pressure regulator, brake booster and pcv lines. Is that right? White Trash? What about the resistor for the sensor? Right now Im thinking I use a 10k resistor in the EGR temp sensor plug and that will keep the cel from coming on? and Im blocking off the hole for the temp sensor as well.

 

Look for the write up by Xs5875. It will answer all your question now and later.

 

I found this thread that was very informative for me.
