factory straight axle and a 22re?
Brother in law of a friend showed up with a 1985 SR5 pickup and we were checking it out. He opens the hood and there's a fuel injected motor in there. So this thing (according to him) is all factory with the straight axle and the RE motor.
Rare?
Oh and he's having some real problems passing emissions and is starting to dislike the truck. If he hates it enough I'm going to buy it and transfer all of my goodies to it and have the best of both worlds!!!

sounds pretty stock for an 85. efi started in 84. the options were basically carb'd or efi.
but the efi engine in 85 is different than an 86 efi, as is the efi system itself.

I think the pre-85 (or pre-84 for sure) fuel injected 22Rs were all analog while the '85 and later were electronic. My '85 4Runner came with 22RE from the factory. It is essentially identical to the later 22REs, at least through '87, I have a spare '87 ECU and it works fine in the '85. And I have yet to find anything vastly different between it and that later '80s model engines. Maybe the main difference is the lack of difference between the 22RE and 22REC engines, I have yet to find anything different between the two engine variations in the '85 year, while there are differences in later years.
The 22RE was far more common in the '85 4Runner than in the pickups.

The first 22R-E came in late 1981, and used an analog EFI system, for total output of 105 hp. The TCCS digital EFI system didn't come until 1984 for trucks/celicas. It resulted in 116 hp and 142 lb-ft. of torque.
EFI was available on all Trucks and 4Runners from 1984 on, although some (most?) '84 4Runners used the 22R.
But yes, the '85 EFI system is unique and different from other years.
What most don't know is that the 22R-TE also came out in 1984. It was not widely advertised, however, until 1986. So if you were in the know, you could perhaps have ordered a factory Truck/4Runner with solid axle and Turbo.

just remember, the "E" means ELECTRONIC... not mechanical. It was electronic... just started with analog instead of digital. No ECU to speak of in the analog system.

I've always wondered why they didn't use an SR5 EFI Turbo for Back To The Future as opposed to just SR5 EFI.
many people do say that the truck was beefed up in order to do the reverse 180, however...
MIGHT it have had a Turbo lurking under that sleek black hood?
we may never know.

Quite pathetic it had to be souped up to do that, I can do that and I have 33x12.5's and stock gears, then again I could also get 2nd gear scratch when I had my 30" tires too.. My engines fresh though..

It was the first year for the "Laser Block" 22R/22R-E. The head was taller and the block shorter. Also the second year for single row timing chains. This is one crucial difference.
As for the EFI itself... well, ask somebody who has one. I think the throttle body was slightly different, as well as the ESA/VAST systems.
Some websites quote 1985 22R-E output as 112 hp instead of the 116 hp advertised by Toyota. I personally always use the 116/142 figures for hp and torque, but some beg to differ.
