I have some turbo stuff layin around for a 22RTE motor, and I'm contemplating putting it on my truck. I have a 22RE motor that I plan on modifying for the turbo. I have some questions though...

1) How much boost are the 4cyl. capable of handling?
2) Based on that, what is the recommended comp ratio?
3) Also based on that, what is the recommend fuel injector size and pressure?
4) What would be a good recommended turbo (t3/t4?)
5) Are there head modifications that would be suggested (beyond a port/polish)?
6) What are the expected gains I could get going with a well done 22RTE over a 22RE?
7) What headaches will I run into, and what should I expect?

If anyone has any experience or opinions it would be greatly appreciated. I'm still thinking about swapping in a different motor to the truck, but I'm thinking this may hold me over till I have the time, money, and a spare vehicle to get that job done.

u might be able to find some answers reading some of these threads.

it appears to change the re to a rte, your gonna be in for a lot of work. you'd probably be better off just doing some mods to the 22re, make it a bit more torqueier (is that a word?) and it will last a long time as well.

a t3/t4 would be sick, i would lose the 22rte parts and start with new stuff. the 22re has a higher compression which will help a larger turbo spool faster and be alot more fun,

make sure you take care of the ecu, with either a rom editor (does any one have one avilible for a yota ) but the key to a fast reliable turbo motor is all about the tunning

Ive started poking around about turbing my 94 22re but i gotta finish my turbo crx (hp goal around 450whp on 20lbs)

All you ever need to know is on Jeff Mosk's site...

also look at toysport's site...they say a 22RTE with forged pistons and a metal head gasket will handle 25lbs of boost.

if i were to do it, i'd look to lc engineering for most of the parts. stock rods should be fine for up to 300hp, just get them inspected/balanced/resized as necessary at a machine shop. for compression i'd want probably somewhere between 7:1 and 7.5:1 for a turbo.

look into an aftermarket fuel injection controller like SDS. lc engineering sells the whole setup, very customizable. it can be used to just control fuel delivery and is also available in a version that gets rid of the distributor and uses coil packs.

thanks guys, the help is appreciated, kyle, do you know of toysports address off the top of your head, if not i can find it... Thanks again!

i would go 9.0 compression, motors can handle the compression its all about the tuning

Are those stock parts off of at 22RTE?

ya, i acquired a turbo exhuast manifold with turbo, all the hoses, intake manifold, fuel rail w/ injectors, air box and ducts, ECU, and heat shields.

have fun watching your pistons turn into toothpaste

I was thinking along the lines of 7:1 originally, then after some research and engineering caluculations, adjusting the boost to a sporty but safe level (no toothpaste, im not building a sportscar). I don't know what these motors are capable of in terms of pressures, but some math should lend a hand, and turbos are easier to adjust or fix than pistons.... I'll be sure to let everyone know what i find (and the math that goes with it) and as always everyone's opinions are wanted!!!!

not really, its all about tuning, ive seen 10.5:1 handle 12 pounds, boost doenst cause stress, running lean and detonation kills pistons, trust me 7.0 is too low, wont spool fast enough.

ive been around turbos long enough, i know a thing or two
