electric fan mod... helps the truck sound less like an aircraft...

I really like the Aircraft sound. I remember the day I finaly got the stupid loud exhaust leak fixed on my 92 pickup with the 22re, man I miss that tuck. I heard the fan for the first time and thaught it was awsome. Mmaybe I just associate that sound with a good running truck.

aircraft sound huh??

Jonnym

yep an aircraft, but even better than adding power was the 6dB drop in noise @ 30mph, 3krpm - if anyone is intrested, i took a bunch of data points for noise before and after the fan mod, also did a full dynamatt install. but really, the fan sucks maybe 5-7 hp at 3000rpm- it was a noticable difference...

also - synthetic fluids was a good addition.

then just install the Mercury Villager/Nissan Quest fan, when that sucker kicks into the hi-speed....its plenty loud. Just knowing that the fan is not driven off the crank is worth at least 11ty billion HP gain...haha.

My header helped the most!

header, intake, maybe afm mod and egr delete, advance the timing and run better gas

my dad has a mild stage 2 rv cam, a 2.25in exhaust high flow cat and flowmaster, has the k&n air filter kit and larger injectors and the truck was tuned. So other then them u can bore it, and build up the block for compression, ( stroker ) and dome pistons. altho not many people put that much into a 22re most do a swap. but my dad is running 35x14.50 boggers with 4.88 and runs 70mph at 3 grand on the high way, he has plenty of power for his truck, not no zippy imma race this honda here power but it has enough for waht it is.

Randyman...

I initially did a Downey Cam, 4-to-1 Headers, K&N filter, and MSD and got a descent bump in performance. I cracked a valve (running too lean) and decided to spring for the LC Engineering EFI Head/Cam, plus the Tri-Y headers and high-flow injectors and the powerband was SO much better. Smoother torque curve and obviously more overall power! Needless to say the head alone was $1K - so not exactly a cheap upgrade - but aside from a complete stroked LC Racing Motor - it was one of the most peppy naturally aspirated 22RE's I had personally seen. Too bad the block is warped and it's been sitting parked for almost a decade! Time for a V6/V8 motor swap

Nudging the MAF's spring a few ticks looser will richen you up somewhat with the tradeoff of less MPG. Advancing the timing a hair can help. Both free mods - but just beware of issues if you take either too far...
