1986 22re-t can I bypass the turbo?
I have a blown turbo in my rig and can't afford 1700$ from LC Engineering to get a new one. What would it hurt if I took out the turbo and just ran exhaust back. What are the differences in the 22re and 22ret besides the obvious turbo? It is causing it to burn oil and lose power. What can I do???
Please help me.

You can't simply "take the turbo out" and run it as an N/A motor. The turbo motors have a much lower compression. You either need to take the turbo engine out, and do a complete N/A swap, or just fix the turbo. Either way will cost about the same.

Howdy, Al, I did that when I had the 86 turbo toy with the same problem, swapped the exaust manifold, and the air filter box, from a regular 22r and plugged some lines, and yes the truck ran, but it felt like running on 1 cyl. nobody wanted to rebuild my turbo, they said the housing was toasted. I found a rebuilded one, i think i paid $600, that's an expensive part but man it worth every single penny. so if your truck is good, besides the turbo, like mat said SHOP AROUND.

in order for the motor to be able to handle the boost that the turbo tries to cram into the cylinder it has to have dished/low compression pistons...
otherwise you would blow a head gasket... normal motors run anywheres to 9.0-10.0 compression with high power N/A motors having upwards of 12.0:1 compression... now a turbo'd or S/C'd motors run at a much more high air volume compression of around 7.0-8.0:1 compression...

it would just be like dropping the compression, a lot... and you'd probably have almost no power... so it'll be like a stock RE lol, but no really, IMHO, I would think that it IS possible, but the only problem is you would then have to get another exhaust manifold, get the rest of the intake piping, and so on and so forth... it might be easier just to find a cheaper turbo to bolt in as a replacement...
can't you just have your old one rebuilt, assuming the casing or whatever isn't cracked? how much could that run?

Hey bleeder, your next post is going to break 4000.
Power and torque would actually be worse than a stock RE because of the lower compression.
The most common price I see for a rebuild is around $250 + shipping. I would also investigate the possibility of upgrading/adapting a CT26 from a Supra or MR2.
