Ok this is a very simple question....I want more power....I love my lil 4, dont want to get rid of it...but I would love to be able to haul A$$ when I need to

 

not ANOTHER one of these.

Cam, exhaust, carb, blah blah blah

Its a 22R its not going to haul ass.

 

dont forget the $8 spark plugs!
..jk its a load of crap so you spend more money
i got good power from my 86 22r with a weber 32/36 and custom exhaust
also start takin uneccesary weight off your truck, youll be surprised

 

what engine bolts in my truck pretty smoothly, also....I was thinking about going with a redline carb and maybe a turbo with about 9psi.

 

What?! A turbo...are you serious? Do you even know anything about turbochargers?

Based on all of your (17 so far) posts, you need to A. Do MORE research and stop asking so many questions, and B. Start doing things. If you REALLY want to do an engine swap, research advance adapters.

Unless you have a lot of money, a turbo swap really isn't a smart idea.

 

most common is chevy's 350 small but your gonna wanna beef up everything behind the motor if you do that

 

Stick with $12 spark plugs. They are in your technical expertise.

Really the best is anything that gets air in and out.

 

ngks are the best for the little japanese motors ive heard

 

Slam your fingers in the door everytime you get in. Get mad at it. thats the only way i can gain speed with a 4 cyl.

Turbo = huge difference

If you want to go this route i would get the 38 (redline) weber outlaw.

Freshin your motor up, Bore it 1mm and make it breath well(cam, carb, exhaust). It will be a lot better than it is now. Also if your running oversize tires, Gear for them.

 

Better yet, just take the damn spark plugs OUT! Save yourself the money, and reduce that engine resistance! Less resistance=more HP!!

 

Yea, go ahead and turbo charge that carbbed engine lol.

Has it been done? Ya sure. Is it cheap? Naw, not really.

 

So is the weber better than the redline?

 

Yea and the oil too!


My friend actually bought the expensive arse plugs with the 3prong for his little whimpy 3.0 nissan. I told him not to waste his money, but the guy at the counter insisted they will give more power, worst part is he believes they do!

 

redline = weber i thought redline bought them out. Not to sure though.
I have had all sorts of webers. There great when there new, def. power difference.




death - what do you mean has anyone done it? Turbo charged pinto and VW motors in rails. You can blow through or draw through doesn't really matter. Don't get me wrong your prob going to tune and jet for a while so you don't cook your motor. But turbo's don't really care.

 

I've turboed a few engines....But never a carbed car engine...my bike is turbo and that was a custom job...so I know tuning is a must...Im just worried about compression...I heard that these engine can handle it...and if they can...why not do it..All I need is the bov, turbo, boost controller,down pipe, and headers...

 

 

Does that mean you agree?

 

sure.

keep in mind though you might not put too much boost to an old motor.

 

If I wanted a 22r that would haul ass I'd get this

with one of these

and a weber 38 and msd ignition. Also throw on an opened up exhaust system (headers, 2.25" all the way back, high flow muffler)

That said, opening the exhaust will give you a tad bit more power. Not like that, but you will be able to notice it.

 

hey there guys, i want more power aswell, i got a 91 4runner 3.0l engine just had it converted to LPG. every time i take it to the mechanic they say theres nothing wrong with it, when i drive it on petrol there lag when i excelerate, then when i drop the revs it spatters and sounds like its gonna stall, this is even after its warmed up. then again when i change it to LPG it runs perfect.
I want to know also if theres any simple mods i can do to it to make it run abit better on the roads. i found on ebay a aluminium turbine that u place in the air intake pipe to run better, probably a load of BS, but for 15 bucks aussie dollars its ok. So yeah if u know of any good mods i can do to the engines proformance wise it would help greatly.
