Hey i been lookin for the last few days on where a 22re idels at.. and i finally found this site and i was like wow! this might actually help me. my yoda has no RPM tack but im fixin to buy 1. i recently blew mine up my rear driveshaft came out while doin 70 down the interstate.. motor over reved and cracked my block. it sucked. but hopefully this weekend im droppin my new 0miles 22re in it ^.^ but from what ive learned over the time that i have had mine. i have 3in bod lift on 31's i wanna go bigger i love muddin in it.. so far its unstopable. it has 4.10 gears and revs like crazy.. but i have it y piped with glasspacks so it could sound louder than the revs are. lol but yall have helped me out on which kinda tack i need for my truck. i hope to learn more from yall! but i would like to kno where i can get a more aggresive cam and what would i have to do to turbo it.. but thank you for readin please inform me!
$.02....

What's with all the numbers??? I shift into "D" at 0mph and it takes me past 80mph!!
Just takes me 10 minutes to get there...
I'm lazy.
Also, what's this "speedometer" you all speak of? I have a small triangular shape that sticks out of my dash that I use with the sun...

but i'm also not about to try shifting at 5k rpms either
to the people who say it has 'plenty' of power - well yes, it does have enough, if you drive the ÅÅÅÅ out of it, but then there goes your gas milage

I get bad gas mileage but i drive hard and fast always have and always will. Fast lane is for people going fast if your doing under 80 move the hell out of the way.

i dont get it, if i take my engine over 4100 RMPs it sounds like its going to come apart. i cant tell if its noise coming from the intake/exhaust or actual noise from inside the engine. it just sounds bad. it also seems like it looses power if i go any higher then that too. then engine is basically new with less then 5000 miles on it. i pulled the valve cover this past weekend just to make sure the chain guides were not broken and i also looked at the valve cover to make sure the rocker arms went hitting the cover but but everything was good inside so im stumped. anyone got any ideas?

My truck struggles to go faster than 80. And 80 is pedal almost to the floor wide open. Being a light truck, it shakes at that speed. On the highway I hang around 65-70.
I don't have a tach, nor do I really care for one.

im with 91toyota the rev limiter works just fine for a shift set but i more liky shift at around 3k cause my cam and everything kicks in at 3200 but mine i can go right into the rev and have no power loss at lest thats what it feels like i just try not to cruse at 6200 rpms thats bad trust me valves start to float and what not but its fun just put it into 1st gear and step on it when it goes dun dun dun dun dun dun shift into 2nd and hear the tires chirp!!

sorry to go off topic a bit but i do not have a tach in my gauge cluster but i want to get one. does anybody know if there is a hookup for the tach just hanging behind the cluster so that if you take it out and put in a new one with a tach you can just hook it up and vwala you have a tach.

Rev limit
Hey guys. i dont see how you guys are turning over 5k rpm. my toyota in first gear plum to the floor might turn 5100 rpm. and not even close in any other gear. i am lucky to get to 4500 when accelerating.. i am also getting poor mileage. i go between 50-60 in fourth gear. (My truck doesn't hardly have enough power to use fith.)

I shift at or below 3k until it's warmed up. I find that cruising around on the flats I get the best mileage between 2400-2800 rpm (so shift at around 3k) .In the mountains I do best staying in a gear that returns around 2800-3200 rpm (shift around 3300). I usually average 21 mpg, but I am always mixed between city and mountain driving. Rarely do I see a freeway. On steep hills I'll run it out to almost 4k if necessary.
Sidenote: Anyone else find 35 mph speed limits to be very annoying because 2nd is higher than I like (especially when I am just leaving the house before it's warmed up) and 3rd is too low for any hills (rarely do i see a flat road).

Im sure they have reasons for gearing it the way they did, but I would much rather a 4th gear thats down towards 3rd more, and a 5th gear thats higher up so that I can get better fuel economy on the flat highways (like an overdrive)

I haven't a clue what I actually shift at (no tach) but I try and shift before the truck sounds like it's ripping itself apart. Usually I shift to 2nd around 15 MPH (grind), 3rd around 25 MPH (grind), 4th around 35ish (whew) and 5th (grind) if I'm level ground around 40-45 MPH. Dumb synchros.
What was sad to me was the first weekend I had it I merged onto the highway and thought to myself "I need a little more oomph here" only to realize I was already pegging it on the floor.
So much different than what I'm used to.

Sonicly clean injectors?
where can I get this done at? I am only getting 15 mpg with a new o2 sensor (densoe), isr, 268 torqr cam, header with thrush welded 2 1/4 pipe, egr and all other nonsense things removed!
