replacing TB/WP, EGR tube 1996 LS
 

working on a friends 96 LS, 182K, replacing belt, pump and seals on the front, and EGR tube and gaskets on the rear, and a couple of hood struts also.
wish me well,
supposed to be 19 tonight

That thing should run great after that. Stay warm :)

hmm...
it's currently 67* out here....

and that's on the cool side :p

well we finished, water pump, timing belt all seals and bearings. hood struts. egr tube and front brakes also... now we have a 2000 LX470 and a 2002 LX470 that needs the TB/WP, the 2002 is turbocharged (factory) but the parts seem to be the same.. and it also needs a RF axle/CV replaced plus the RF inner tierod end

I don't know HOW you can do the EGR tube so easily. Mine was an absolute monster of a job even with the transmission out.

yours must have been a 90-94 model, never had to do one of those. on the 95-97 just the lower tube is all that needs replacing... couple of hours, round trip....

wait did you just say that your 2002 Lexus LX470 is FACTORY turbocharged?
:uh:

please clarify before i correct you...

It is not my Lexus, or statement, the same owner owns both the 2000 & 2002, and he said the 2002 came with the supercharger... I just repeated it.
NOW set me straight.... I'm all ears..

"factory" could be TRD supercharged :)

'96, and it was a complete pain even with the trans out. My replacement tube was a little bent though, so that probably played a role.

YOU are so right PD, it was TRD all the way... my boo boo.
we finished the 2002 470 and are doing the 2000 470 this week, using the Aisin OEM kit on it..... but it dosent come with the seals, getting them from Park Place.. plus brakes and antenna mast..
sure glad the snow melted..................
