Tyson Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 (edited) The hose connected underneath this is split and is spitting out water, well it's a fluid that doesn't smell and is clear. Hope it's nothing serious !!! Dragonball is tomorrow Edited May 14, 2014 by Tyson (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clay Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 is it the aircon drain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_p Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 It's a different setup to the J-Spec, but it looks like part of the fuel system as it appears to link to the FPR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_p Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Maybe it's to catch oil before the vacuum reaches the FPR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure it's not fuel coming out as it would stink of petrol and it just smells like stale water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 Guy's false alarm its to do with EGR, phew will this affect the running ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Its do with the EGR valve. Edit:Too slow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 Its do with the EGR valve. Edit:Too slow! Will affect the running of the car Steve ? I worked out what the water smells like, exhaust fumes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I cant remember if it attaches to any of the coolant lines underneath. Can you trace where the pipe goes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyson Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 The hose with the hole in is the one at the top left it connect to the metal pipe in the middle of the screen, it heads towards the back of the block. Can't see where exactly as it's deep in the belly of the beast. The hose with the hole can't be more than 4 inches long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Have a look of this - http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?199972-Tech-Article-Full-EGR-Removal&highlight=egr+removal It appears to bolt to the block below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, there's no mention of coolant lines or having to drain the coolant so it looks like it's not connected. Would some tape be sufficient to patch it up for now until I can source a replacement pipe ? It's firing water straight across the bay and I'm worried it's going to short something. It's not a constant jet and it only really comes out at high revs. I've only noticed on a cold engine as I was checking things over before DB.

Guest Budz86 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 How easy is that to get to Mike? I think I have some spare hose that size but it's not shaped or anything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan294 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I'd go for a bit of silicone hose. Is it not linked to the cooling system, IE, part of the EGR cooler? Not sure if the supra has a water cooled EGR though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 How easy is that to get to Mike? I think I have some spare hose that size but it's not shaped or anything... Back of the engine bay at the top, it's a bit awkward but not impossible to get to. I'd go for a bit of silicone hose. Is it not linked to the cooling system, IE, part of the EGR cooler? Not sure if the supra has a water cooled EGR though. Wouldn't it be leaking coolant though ? I'm using 4life which is red and the liquid coming out is water that smells like exhaust fumes.

Tyson Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 There is only one hose listed for the egr and it is for the vacuum modulator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roger NE Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I can't imagine WHY you would ever have liquid coming out of your EGR system ! Unless you have a blown head gasket, of course . . . So personally I wouldn't be worried about the leak, but WHY there's liquid at all ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 Nope HG is fine and you know there is water in petrol right ? This comes out of your exhaust when it is cold so it will also makes its way into the recirc system which is recirculating the exhaust gases.

Chris Wilson Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 You can ignore it for now, or there's a way to disable the EGR via vac pipes, but if you are going on the Dragonball thing just wait until you get back. It won't give you any grief. EGR is a PITA, and probably better blanked off at some future date. It has nothing to do with cooling, it's just condensate in the exhaust and EGR system. Have a safe trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
