22rte advise
so im picking up a 22rte for 400$ it comes with the engine wiring harness ecu and the gauge cluster, the only thing that is wrong with it that i know of is that its got a blown head gasket,
So my question is good deal? because my father is freaking out over the turbo portion of it, just need a little advise on how reliable these engines are compared to the 22re

Price a replacement turbo because it will probley need one sooner or later, probley sooner. They have problems with the housings cracking.

I got a RTE partially dissembled with a bunch of parts(link is sig) I've been trying to sell for months... It's a decent motor. Highly recommend you spend $30 on a turbo timer. That sucker burns hot for a tiny turbo.

Nooooo, reallllllly?
"As time rolled by, Turbo Engineering Center (TEC). Of Magalia, California found that the life expectancy of the CT-20 was in the neighborhood of 60,000 miles. When it comes time to replace or repair these units, Toyota only offers a replacement turbo for $1850-no service or repairs. TEC traced the CT-20's short life span to the routing of the oil supply line. The line ran directly under the turbine housing and was joined to it. This allowed a great deal of heat transfer and TEC believes oil was ultimately restricted which led to turbo failure. Another shortcoming of the Toyota turbo was the backpressure it produced. TEC tested a CT-20 and found at 9 psi there was 22 psi of backpressure and high exhaust gas temperatures. The conditions were ripe for failure."
OP, search is your friend. There are about 3 current on-going threads in 86-95's tech...
Search: CT20, POS, and CT26.
