22RE Head

[tnt40]

I have a rebuilt head(vavle job, pressure checked, washed,valve seals, bleed down test). What else could I do to the head to increase it's performance.

Polish the intake ports, but I do not think that it is going to be worth the expense....


Get a v6 or a v8...


Good luck!

I have 2 cams to chose from. Downey 274/417 or EPN 270/430 . What will each of them do for me? Thanks guys

I would strongly consider the DOA C270. Love mine to death. Great low end and mid-range. http://doaracingengines.com/4cylcamshafts.html

What do you use this truck for. Daily driver, rock crawler, or mud ?

 

[tnt40]

I will use it for all of the above. But mostly daily driver. I would like some extra ponies without sacrificing gas mileage. I will have a header plus 2.25 exhaust and K&N filter. If that helps narrow the field.

The C270 is good in the rocks and around town. The TRD (Crane) #1 is a better mud cam (better rpm's) that also works well around town and in the rock. The C270 is not as good in the higher rpms as the TRD, but better in the low end. I prefered my TRD camshaft equiped 22re over my C270 cam'ed 22re in the snow, though they both worked well.

The C270 has equal intake/exhaust duration (212/212, favoring mid-rpm), higher lift (11.0mm, better lower end), and less duration than the TRD#1.

The TRD#1 has greater exhaust duration (214/224, favoring higher rpm), more duration than the C270, and less lift (10.5/10.9).

Do you need to pass smog? The more overlap (greater duration) the harder it can be to pass smog.

Pappy,
I don't need to pass smog. I'm putting this in a 1985 4runner. I will have 31X10.5X15 tires on it.
