has anyone swapped a 22r for a 22ret I found one fairly cheap and was wondering if it can be done.

I made a comment about doing this and someone said something about an inline fuel pump like an auxilary one.

Check the engine and turbo out well.. They're expensive to repair if they don't work right.

harpen is right, you'll need a high pressure EFI pump. You can use an inline pump if you want.

Wiring the ECU is the "hard" part. Ping me if you have questions... I've got most of the diagrams for the 22rte ecu if needed.


You could also wire it into a stand alone, but the stand alones I use are about $500, so it might blow your budget...

Play in the turbine, side to side vs in/out. There are specs in the FSM.


Do a leak down test.
