So how would I know if this truck was factory? The truck eather has a blown head gasket or warped head and a busted back window. Honestly now, not just to get me to switch of to the good ol' Yota from my Jeep, Is it worth it?
This is the peice I would be trading

Its possible its factory.

If I had a Heep, I would trade for a factory 22r-te. if it looks factory, most likely it is. get the VIN, look it up. there should be other designations that will tell you for sure if its factory.

Where can I look up the vin? Why's it gotta be a "Heep"?

idk man. Just search around here for pics of turbo 22res, compare them to the engine of the one you want to trade.

I know I've said is before, but you guys rock. On all the diesel forums I am on, it would take me 4 days to get all this info. Thanks. Maybe I'll see some of you guys on the trails soon, in a Yota

Is there a diffrence between the cylender heads from the turbo and non-turbo motors?

Yes there is a difference in size of the combustion chamber. I have a turbo 4runner and it says turbo EFI on the intake. Thats a good sign of stock turbo

I just got off the hone with the guy and he said its factory. He said it is posted on the cab and motor. Turbo EFI or sumthing like that. Its an 85. Would putting a non-turbo

Turbos only came on EFI engines and most likely its an automatic.

It EFI but he said its a 5 spd. What about the heads? Anyone?

You didn't finish your post but I'm assuming your asking if you can run an re head on a rte turbo motor? Yes you can, lots of people do it. I'm pretty sure mine has a non-turbo head on it. It just raises the compression a little bit.

5spd turbos are rare. They had to be special ordered from Japan, as far as I know. He could have swapped in a 5spd, though.

Sorry, Thats exactly what I was lookin for. And thats what I will do. I don't plan on boostin the crap outta this motor so that sounds the way to go.
Thanks.

huh. He didn't say anything about right hand drive.

Is it a 4runner or truck? If its a 4runner its very very rare, I've never heard of one but i'm pretty sure they made manual turbo trucks

22r has taller block and dish pistons. Turbo has dish pistons as well. 22r has no knock sensor spot, and thats very important for a efi motor

No. Special ordered from the factories in Japan. They were made in Japan and imported over.

I think I'm getting you guys. We will find out just exactly what the deal this weekend.

THis wont let me post a bulletin
 

I just blew my engine and two techs are telling me its not worth replacing.
93 4runner with 200k on it. any opinions?
