Yotamatic

I have a 1987 toyota pickup with a stock 22r motor thats starting to wear down. I have found a 22rte motor that im looking at swapping in but i dont know what its gunna take. Can someone please give me some info on what its going to take to do the conversion?? Thanks

just a 22re

yeah its very easy here you go
you need these things to do this swap

-22rte motor
-22rte wire harness
-r150 trany
-22rte 3rd member
-22rte ecm
-intake,pluming, exhast work, cluster, badging
-4.11 to 4.35 gears
-turbo (get a t3/t4 right off the bat trust me)


but if your going the route of just adding a turbo to your stock motor you need this list

-turbo (mani, downpipe, intake pipes)
-injectors
-intake
-fuel pump
-retard timing to 5-15atdc (depending on boost)
-run only up to 9PSI on a stock 22r
-ecm and wire harness

now if your going to rebuild your stock 22r to make a 22rte then here you go

-22rte pistons, cand connecting rods (8.5 to1) with a 22r crank you should make 8.8 to 1)
-cam (just cause)
-fuel---- pump, injectors,
-intake --- all pipes and vac lines
-ecm and wire harness


now if your going to turboing a stock 22r then you have to tee split the oil presure line right at the oil pressure sencer and for the return you have to drill and bolt a oil return in the oil pan as for coolant you dont need it so dont use it (my 30 PSI AWD eclipse didnt have a coolant line on turbo and it was a dd turbo was a 16g) as for the piping easy run it to the front of the grill to a side mont intercooler (also from a eclipse) and then to the TB exhast easy doen pip to the stock set-up if you have any questions just pm me and we can talk phone or im on yahoo or something if i missed anything someone please feel free to add!!!!!


hope it helps you out man and yes i turbo anything and everything even my old pocket rocket!! and yes i did

Ok...this may sound stupid but what tranny will i have in my 87???? Also, do you know the best place to get the wire harness and ecm for the 22rte???

You don't need the turbo tranny. Your existing transmission will work just fine.
You don't need the 3rd member or the intake.
You don't need to regear.
A T3/T4 is typically a turbo capable of more than 300hp. Putting it on a motor that puts down 130-160 hp isn't a good match.
Stick with a straight T3 or consider a smaller T3 for instant boost.

well the only resone i said to swap them out is cause the stock turbo are junk and cost over 500 to rebuild and the tranys are differnt but dont mater and 3rd do! put it this way if you put a 10,000HP motor with a metro trany and axles you think it will hold up???? thats why i listed all the turbo parts cause it sounded like he wanted to do a full converson not just do the basic crap and make it look like a pile of dog poo. now as for the intake there the same but the turbo does say turbo on it just look at them thats why i said it............


ok as for the trany befor i get all pissed off now yes the trany will work you dont need a new one......but you will smoke it out with the power that the turbo can put out so i would just get a R150 trany and you might as well have one in it already so if you like my help im here thanks

The stock turbo RTE model was only rated at 135hp new, that's only about an extra 25-30 horses more. It will not "smoke" the tranny. Usually if I were going to do this type of swap, I would get everything I need from a "donor" car (perhaps a wrecked one with a good drivatrain). That would keep you from having to hunt up all of the parts and piece it together without forgetting anything, and everything would work together with your truck.

I'm running more power than a factory 22RTE through a stock "22re" w56 transmission and 4cylinder 3rd. No problems...

just a 22re

well i was just saying thats all if he wanted to keep it all kinda stock like from the factory but if not he can do what ever im just trying to give him a list on what he might need sorry and yes my 22re is pushing way over what it should ask a few guys on here that have seen my rig and they will tell you shes not stock no way no how and plus what you see in my sig is not all that under my hood shes far from stock!!
