so im looking at a 1986 4runner 22rt turbo sr5. theres one problem though, the turbo is missing. the truck starts and drives but there is a pinging to the engine. im not sure if thats because the turbo is missing and it still has the turbo ecu running the motor. would that effect the engine/performance any way?

awesome, i've never seen that site before. thanks alot.

did someone change the exhaust and intake on it and plug the oil line ? it sounds like the motor has been changed.

Buy it at a parts truck price, and then sell me the bell housing! I want one.

dburke0430

Im not sure. I'll have to check. what would be the difference for the intake and exhaust? what oil line are you talking about? where would i locate it in the motor? if it does into the block on the passenger side then i think it is. i glanced at something that looked out of place but i forgot to check it out..

heres a picture, not sure if it helps but its the only one i took

the turbo ecu would work with a re motor,it did on mine when i changed motors. the motor in the photo looks like a plain non turbo 22r to me. but i have been wrong before. did someone tell you it was a turbo ? it is easier to swap seats and and trim than swapping motors.

Nope, thats a 22RE-T

The gap between the fender wall and the manifold is larger, but the dead giveaway is the bypass line on the right top side of the radiator, found only on the turbos.

thanks for the input. it wasn't advertised as a turbo but when i saw it it was obviously the turbo model. i was just confused because of there was no turbo under the hood and i checked the ecu and it was for a turbo motor. i wasn't sure if that was good or bad or harmful in any way..

Check the injectors to make sure the motor's running turbo injectors. I can't remember off the top of my head the colors, but they're color coded. I THINK turbo injctors are brown on top.

If you're running N/A injectors onthe turbo ECU, you'll run lean under load and ping.

The bypass line proves that the truck radiator is a 22RTE, but that line could be capped where you can't see it. Obviously the truck came as a 22RTE (ECU), but the only sure way to tell is the block. Below the exhaust on the bottom edge of the block just above the oil pan mating surface there should be a block off plate that fastens to the block with two bolts. This is where the turbo oil drain line connected. There is no sign of this line in your picture and believe me if it was still there you would easily see it. Also on the back of the block (same side) just above that drain cock for the water jackets there is another banjo fitting that is the turbo oil feed line. If this is a turbo block both of those fittings should be blocked off in some manner. If your block doesn't have either of these, it's a 22re not a 22rte.
Also 22rte injectors are pink top 295cc. low impedence.

He said in an earlier post that he sees a line going to the block off plate.

thanks guys, im going to go look at it again in a few hours.

ok, 1st off... IF it's a RTE motor, it looks like it's got an RE exhaust manifold... So it's a 22RE with 7.5:1 compression ratio... Factory RE is 9.3:1 so yes, that's low.

2nd. It's a 4Runner so it's AT, yayfortrees.

3rd, find the guy that did all that and punch him square in the face for me...

4th, IIRC the injectors are a reddish maroon color...


5th, that's about a $300 to $500 truck... I'd pay less than that or walk, b/c of ALLLLL the work I'd have to do to get it back to right.

tried4x2signN

6th, IF you get it, fret not. You will be putting a CT26 off a 7MG-TE Supra back on it. A ct20 is a waste of time, and money.


just make sure you have the turbo manifold.

ok so i made it back to look at the truck.. i noticed a few more things this time..

first off, the exhaust manifold appears different. i have a 89 22re and its single piped, not like this one that has two..



the other thing that i noticed was under the oil filter. on the 89 it looks more like a sensor, but the 86 looks like another mini filter



and heres a pic of the the intake side of the motor not sure if this would help any.



i forgot to look for the oil lines at the bottom of the block, but if these aren't any help i'll take another trip out there.. thanks again everyone

tried4x2signN

Wow, it's a total craps shoot as to whether or not you've got 7.5:1 or 9.3:1 compression...

B/c that's a RE exhaust and intake manni...

See #1 and #3 of my above post...

oh, and the "mini filter" is an oil cooler... I do know RTE's (and V6's) had those...

dburke0430

Im not trying to argue, but im just curious. Would the stock exhaust mans be different between an 89 and an 86 22re? my 4runners e/m is much smaller and all 4 ports almost immediately merge into one, where the one in the picture for the 86 it merges into 2 pipes, and then from 2 to 1. would that be because the 89 isn't an sr5?

tried4x2signN

IDK for sure...

There have been a few different exhaust designs... And I'd say Fed, or Cali and year of manufacture or whatever makes a difference...

I just don't know all of them off the top of my head...

tried4x2signN

another thing you can do is this...

Look at the below pic. Where the circle is, is where the oil returns back into the block after it's injected into the Turbo from where the two bungs are at the back of the engine...

If they are drilled and tapped, and just blocked off, it was a turbo block... But that means NOTHING if some monkey brain changed the pistons or head over to RE pistons and head...
