22r to 22re or 22re turbo

[CruisinMT]

My buddy is looking into swapping out his 22r from his 84 pickup. He wants to swap in a 22re or 22re turbo. Are there any reasons that this swap wouldn't work (mounts, room etc.) ? Let me know if there are any good threads that cover this. Sorry if its allready been asked. TIA

Along with a 22RE, you will also need the ECU, harness, fuel tank with 50 psi pump, instrument cluster with VSS and MIL (check engine light), the EFI Cam, and the EFI Distributor. If you opt for the 22RET, then you need all of the above, plus you get to inherit one of the biggest heart aches Toyota ever produced ( yea, I know a few of you got 200-300 hundred thousand trouble-free miles out of a 22RET, but most of you didn't).

but technically both would fit and work?

Howdy! Yes, it will all fit just fine. It is the same engine in the same frame and body. 85 was the crossover year. They have both, but they differ from the head on up. John

Sounds like a lot of trouble to go through. Why's he looking to do it?

 

[CruisinMT]

he's looking to replace his tired 22r and the efi would be a big help in off camber situations that we face in the mtns around here.

I don't know of any EFI swap threads on 'mud, but have you seen this thread on pirate?

Ok dude...here goes




the difference, ala LC Engineering....

HEAD

20R.....80/81cc

81- 84 22R.....82/83cc

85-95....52/54cc



22RET......82/83cc



RET comp ratio is 7.5:1 has dish pistons (more than a 9.3:1 RE )


The motor (RE Vs. RET) is the same X pistons and head cc + wiring nightmare for wha, 20 HP?


The wiring harness for RET is different so can read boost in the gauge cluster. (?) And possably other things the computer needs to monitor the turbo so you would need (as if an RET truck isn't rare...) an RET wiring harness.















PLEASE DO US ALL A FAVOR AND DO NOT ATTEMPT!


YOU NEED THE HYBRID 20/22
