Olharleyman...that exhaust sounds awesome...from a 22RE 4banger??? Nice job. How do you like the LC header?? I'm thinking of getting one. Also, you said that you have a 2.5" pipe from header to muffler. Did it really help to increase power? I remember talking to a Flowmaster Tech and he told me not to change the pipe size as this could take power away. I'm trying to get ideas about what I want to do with my exhaust.

Chrysler red and the same Dupli color primer in fact all the paint is this dupli color

Engnbldr master rebuild kit , .20 piston and rings , drivers side steel timing chain guide , L.C.Engineering Pro Street Head and matching cam , Header and tons of LOVE

Yea 22re , as for the rest of your question it's all brand new a complete rebuild so it's hard to say but I can say this with no doubt ALL THESE THINGS TOGETHER do make a huge difference the full build up can be read here

Are you running a cat at all?
I may end up going with this setup - although with a stock 22RE I can't imagine it will sound quite as good.

olharleyman

No cat yet but I have one to put on it's a Magna Flow Hi Flow

But here is the issue , it sounds good but has no power under load and I am lost at where to start to figure this out My friend came over and we spent about 2 hours now trying the timing and idle and still can't get it to run faster then 35-40 in 4th gear any ideas guy's?

93YotaGuy

Job well done!

Wanna race?

olharleyman

Hell ya soon as I get this thing dialed in we can get Iamsuperbleeder in this too.

Fink

Well your video has just about convinced me to run the Flowmaster 40, that sounds amazing.
I'd run the Magnaflow high-flow cat also.

No ideas about your lack of power problem, I'm sure you'll get the kinks worked out though.

Fink

iamsuperbleeder

lol, 3-wide?

I'm down!

yoder519

holy crap i bou tmessed my britches! or maybe i did. i usta have a flowmaster 40 on my yota and it didnt sound nothing liek that. neither does my engine. man that sounds amazing

olharleyman

If we get Eric B we can have YOTA ALL OUT!

OK well good news and bad news from the front

FIRST BAD NEWS

The cam that came with this head is not so good it has no bottom end but it has an ass load of top end at 3,000 but will not work in 4th or 5th gear but 1st through 3rd it kicks ass as soon as it hits 3000 rpm it picks up like nobody's business up to 5400 that's as far as I took it and turns these 35's to 70 mph like nobody's business.

Te exhaust sounds like a bumble bee in heat thought so I may have to find a new direction with that as well but for now I will live with it.

THE GOOD NEWS

THE MOTOR RUNS FLAWLESSLY

I found my issues with the lack of power and it turns out I had a couple vacuum lines crossed but got them figured out and now it run's great all be it the cam issue so I guess the next issue will be to find the right cam to make this motor run correctly so off to studying cams I go with the first choice being ENGNBLDRS 268 cam and see what it will do for me.

Any other suggestions as for a cam you guy's may think will work out good for me please feel free to drop a hint or two.

iamsuperbleeder

I'm really pleased with my 261 from engnbldr

You can really feel the torque at about 1500 RPMs, and then it falls on it's face right at about 4750 RPMs

Does great for a DD, makes merging into highway traffic easy, and about 80 mph put's it right at about 3500 RPMs, so it's right in it's power range on the highway which does great for those quick and easy passes

camo31_10.50

idk if its the extra 10-15hp you guys have over me...but i cant even get my motor to hit 3500 rpm in 5th gear...(im gonna get a new muffler and a FULL exhaust(no dumps) and see what that does).

of course ANY kind of downhill grade and i can make it soar past 80 on the speedo(really about 87 ish)..but on flat ground..no way...75 by the speedo is best it'll do..and it takes it a long a$$ time to get there...

of course thats only with 3/4 skinny pedal because my carb needs to be rebuilt..

when i rev my motor anywhere past about 3500 it sounds like its about to fly apart??..lmao just by how high pitched the sound is..

iamsuperbleeder

I had mine above 90mph earlier on i95, and there was more left in her

that's what I was doing the whole time too ---> <--- grinning from ear to ear, lol

camo31_10.50

i hate you...

i believe i'd rather have a 3.slow than this gutless 22R..its horrible..the dang 3.0 has 50hp on this thing..and like 60lb ft of torque..sure it has its problems..but hey..what motor doesnt..

i think i'll be on the lookout for a 89-95 ext cab 4x4 3.0 5speed..heyyyyy maybe the guy will take my dang '86 as a partial trade!!!...that would be awesome..

i seen a 95 pickup just like the one i want for 4500..only had 78,000miles on it too...and it looked AMAZING..old man drove it..garaged it EVERYDAY..never took it offroad..gah i should have jumped on that...

Fink

The exhaust sounded amazing in the video, does it change a lot when she's out on the road at higher RPM's?

I'm glad you found your lack of power problem, sounds like you've got her all iron'd out.
