I'm sure you know this already but GODAMN that is by very far the cleanest looking 22r install or any motor for that matter that I have ever seen. Bravo sir! 👏👏👏👏
yooooooo this is the first video of yours i've seen and you can most definitely guarantee i'm here to stay!! love the style, so fresh, so clean, and so informative!! thanks brother
My 81’ longbed with the 22R is in the garage so i can start the rebuild. Going 40 over as well and going to add a turbo. The side draft webbers are badass and sound so good.
Back in 1995 I souped up my 86 Toyota Truck after the mini truck scene in socal was gone. I followed the trend that was catching on with the import scene and the likes. It had a mid cam from trd, 44ph mikunis, headers but forgot the brand. e fan, trd clutch, lockrite locker, had the pully shaved and balanced with no a.c. short shfiter and flytrap. I was really learning at the time and found out my mikuni intake manifold where small and the carbs where right at the head. I didnt have a aftermarket fpr and seems like that set up was for off road driving and lost alot in the 1/4 mile. It took alot of gas and was loud from intake and exahust just to beat oem hondas at the time. I learned about heavy rims too, it had MOMO Mirages from an MKIII Supra. Anyways, when I put the stock carbs and intake back on it was alot quicker especially high end. I ended up selling the truck bone stock with just the bolt ons in 2001. It was my first ride I ever souped up.
@@psiracing the headers, I remember now after looking for headers for the 22r they were called Doug Thorley headers, I remember they were expensive too in the mid-90s. They were short headers though I don't think I needed the emissions tube but I think I blocked it off some how. I don't think they make them anymore only in long tube.
Beautiful build, love the header set up! I’m considering an early 90s Toyota build myself, more along the lines of a nice street strip build. A had 3 Tacoma’s mildly done up as a 20 something year old, just bolt ons and suspension mostly. Im wondering what your thoughts were, would you build up the 22re or swap in a 2 or 3rz? I’d say my aim would be just north of 300hp, with an eventual turbo set up. I’m guessing 3rz would be the way to go, but what are your thoughts on the 22re and that hp level? Thanks!
Hey Trey, man that's a tough. What I can tell you from this post is, people really love thwre 22r's. We have gotten so much feedback from this build its absolutely amazing. Now if you wanted to make easier power, the RZ engine I hate to say just has more technology in it. We have a turbo build coming to the channel soon. Will also have a Elite Haltech ecu to control it
Was this build done by rebuilding the existing 22r engine block? Or did you guys buy a whole new one? I am looking at buying an old beater car and dropping in a new 22re engine from LC engineering. Seems like a pretty economical thing to do considering the whole engine is only about 5k dollars. lol
I have a 78 with a 22/20 hybrid. Had stage 5, dual spring w/ titanium retainers, lce forged rods. 22reT pistons, Weber 38. Still need fuel pump. But will be downsizing in cam to a stage 3 With new rockers.. if i dont do the swap first lol and sell thay engine
That’s crazy, I never seen a 11 to 1 setup using pump gas. A lot of people claim that there will be pinging issues with that type of compression ratio.
Love the video man nice build can't wait to see can't wait to see the dyno numbers. i built a Toyota 20R 22R hybrid 10 years ago for my buddy pulls to 7500 RPM dynoed at 160 horsepower to the rear wheels for Street truck I think that's not too bad I used lc engineering stuff for that build just subscribed can't wait to see more and my buddy still has your a old school tube chassis AE86
3 years later but that's got to be the most awesome Toyota engine I've seen in a while. And the truck itself. I have one the exact year and color. But mine does Not look like that.
i own an 86 rwd i was hoping to learn how to wrench on this vehicle any websites to purchase parts youd recommend or places that have good guides. any tips are appreciated thanks cool video beautiful work im inspired
I was wondering where did you tap into the ignition for the electric fan setup? Also by chance where would I be able to tap into the ac power(just so I can make my e fan turn on with ac)
Man that's a hard for to answer because we don't have the truck with us. We built that truck a few year a back. Best advice is just take your time and get a a test light and see where the 12v power wire is that powers the a/c compressor
Great job , very nice truck, I have the1980 Toyota Corona and it has the 20R engine, I’ve tried to rebuild the engine but I couldn’t find the parts to do that , even the mechanics told me the same thing , I wonder if I can replace it with the 22R engine ?
I have an '83 long bed that I will be digging into this year. You have given me some ideas and I may be reaching out to get more info as I get further into mine. Side note - I thought '82 still had the round headlights, but I see this one has squares. Were they swapped, or am I mistaken? Love the headers BTW.
Hey man, regarding the headlights I know the truck is all original. May be a late 8or early 83 if so. Any help you need you can reach out and we'll do.what we can to answer any questions or get ya hard to gind parts
Really should get that temperature up. If you're on the level and know enough to build a engine like that you should know running an engine to cool can be worse than a little bit hot. All the metals expand with heat and ea different metal even different alloys of the some metal expand at different rates. Not getting up to temp can keep pistons from fully expanding and wobble in the bore. The oil doesn't get hot enough and cannot flow as much volume the list goes on. Maybe I'm wrong I can't claim to be an expert with 4cylinder yoters but the engines I do build and have plenty of experience with don't like being ran at lower temps. Nice looking piece though foresure a one off build
I appreciate the opinion, we've been building toyota engines for over 25 years. Engine builds enough temp to be in a happy place, was just colder then normal in that video!
No, it actaully has more power since the timing doesnt move around as much. There is only about a 5 degree difference from idle to max timing as you rev the engine up with the advance gone.
I have a 83 toyota hilux with the 4 speed manual, and I'm thinking about doing a stage 2 cam and a 38/38 weber. Should I also put dual valve springs and is the 38/38 weber a good carburetor for that kind of setup
I think the stock manifold and carb are both pretty restrictive. You can pick up a lce offenhauser single plane then a 38/38 would bolt right up and make a significant difference in power. As for dual springs, unless you have a cam or are consistently taking it past 5500 rpm on the stock stuff, it should be fine on stock stuff. Ive got a 81 22r in my sand rail and im ditching my ported stock intake and oem carb for the lce offenhauser with a holley 2300 2 barrel.
I just bought a lifted 1994 toyota pickup fully LCE built motor, cam headers etc you name it, has about 20k miles on motor as of right now, its lifted about 6” with 31’s and for some reason going uphill it has a very hard time.😭
Camshaft would depend on what else you plan on doing, as far as intake setup and exhaust system. Also depending on size will determine if you will probably need a valve spring upgrade.
@@psiracing First of all I would like to say thank you for taking the time writing back I really appreciate it . Exhaust system will be upgraded as well the intake and can you tell me where to get the valve spring set up to be honest I'm new in this field but since the engine is going to be repaire it would good idea to do this upgrade as well thank you again.
I have a 1986 Toyota 4x4 that I purchased in 1986. It's been through me, my dad, my brother, back to my dad and now back to me. So i'm planning to keep it for a while! It runs, but has about 335,000 miles on the motor. Thinking about a rebuild or purchasing a long block, Not really looking to do a performance setup; when stock this truck did everything I needed it to do. I'm having trouble finding info on youtube (maybe I should try forums) so I thought I'd ask you guys. If I get ready to do something with the motor, should I look for a remanufactured long block, or just get the existing motor rebuilt (price will be a consideration, but not override quality)? I now have a Jeep JK so I'd like to get my Toyota back to a daily driver. Hell, the existing motor may go for a while longer, but I'm looking at alternatives. About to sell a boat so I will have a little cash on hand. Any comments/input would be much appreciated. PS, when in the USAF, I had it customized at Clark Air Base, Phillipines. It has a custom 3" body lift, custom nerf bars, and a custom winch bumper. Still has the original paint!!
Dude thats a rad story and to be honest if the truck is that clean, always better to keep the original engine with the original truck. Im sure we can help you with a rebuild even tho we mainly do all out performance but we can make it happen. Only thing is we are way behind, so hopefully you wouldnt be in a hurry
@@psiracing , thanks for the reply. Based on what you say, I'll look first at a rebuild of the original motor when the time comes. I had looked at a previous video that made me think it is not as good an alternative as buying a new long block. But if it can be acceptably rebuilt, I'd definitely like to stay with the original. Thanks again.
@@psiracing awesome, can’t wait to see the content. Would be amazing to see you modify a alcohol high CR 2ZZ NA Toyota engine built for 1/4. I can tell You’ve got the expertise and the love for the sport to do so
I'm curious if you have ever looked at the LCE side draft throttle body EFI system. I was thinking of doing this to keep the side draft style but to use the advantage of EFI
Hey guys I got the same manifold and was wondering if you know what goes into the rear of the manifold. There is a threaded hole in the last intake runner near the back.
Does your header's primaries all share the same length? The sound is so awesome and has a way throatier/rumbly sound vs other aftermarket header options i've heard. Love the build this things really awesome!
Or just go to a state inspection place run by Mexicans and ask for a (inspeccion en caliente)inspection on the hot .....or just explain it to them they will do the trick ......but it will cost you 50 to 70 $
Hey John, what we do is eliminate the vacuum advance and basically keep it locked out. The beauty of the distributor is as u rev the engine it has a small delay in advance. Example, we set it at 30 and as u rev it, it may advance to 34. No detonation issues and makes it so much more responsive
any ballpark gusse as to horse power? care to share what it cost carb to oil pan. this is a beautiful engine, duels on a 22r is absolutely a beautiful thing
Hey brother solid videos and builds. If you dont mind me asking what was the tool you used to measure the air to fuel ration on the weber side draft carbs?
Hey buddy.. I am just wanting to ask someone that might know...i have an 85 xtracab w/22r. I have a header and a weber..got rid of all the smog junk. So this engine from the factory is rt at 100hp rt? What do you think your yota is pushing? Are you familar with the 69 camaro "Big Red"? Its a 250mph car that still has the stock body. He runs the salt flats and the mile..these trucks are not ever going to bea drag truck..but i am going for 150mph
So I just bought a 83 22r Toyota pickup and I need help with the vacuum lines. How much do you think it will cost to take it somewhere so they can make sure they’re connected correctly?
Just plan on swapping them. Easier to replace them all then hunt through for a fix. Them old vaccun harnesses can be replicated cheaply, probably 100$ to have a shop do it where i live.
Very nice job! just wondering if this truck is running he L transmission or is it a W or G? I see you respond to most of your comments and was wondering if the L could stand up to this kind of power given its reputation as weak in the 4wd version.
@@psiracing Thanks for your reply, after further research I found the W series did come in the 82 2wd trucks apperantly the L was the 82's 4wd transmission. Versions of the W came in NA supra's pushing up to 200 hp and only was upgraded to the R series once they surpassed 200hp The W is a very nice smooth shifting trans and I am sure Ken loves cruising this beauty.
@@canuck351 yea we had tons of good luck with the w style transmission. We actually ran one in our full drag car and went as fast as 9:01 at 151mph and it lived.
