Iam one of probably millions looking for more horsepower out of my 22RE...Ive heard of putting cams in and other stuff interally in the engine to get more power..But ive always heard if it aint broke leave the hood down so i dont want to go inside my engine until a rebuild is nessecary but is there any thing you can buy and bolt on to help keep up with traffic lol Also iam looking for a IFS front lift for my 86 4Runner If anyone has one let me know

 

Headers and a less restrictive exhaust- if that counts as "bolt on". Difference in night and day.

 

i had a 91 pickup with the 22re and got the downey header and borla cat back exhaust,plus a high flo cat i could notice a big difference with 31"tires.borla does not make the kit anymore at least not for my 4runner.

 

I've got a header, 2.5" exhaust, 32" cherrybomb glasspack. Between this truck and my 77, the difference is night and day

 

a cam a Lce header and a better exhaust should wake it up

 

ok well where are the best places to buy these mods at a good deal

 

header and good high flow cat and exhaust will do wonders.

 

2.5" exhaust on a 22 series engine? i went with 2.25" and think i would have been better off with 2"

 

I didn't put it on- the guy before me did. Seems to work excellent

 

I know toyota came out with a 22r-te turbo can u buy a turbo kit for the truck

 

These guys offer perfomance mods like exhaust, intake, and some other stuff:

Hope that helps!

 

go here http://www.toyotacatalog.net/M1WebGear/ but be forewarned your truck will be faster and your wallet will be lighter thus enhancing the power to weight ratio even more!

 

Where do you people live? Night and Day?

I have= Downey ceramic coated header, 2.25" exhaust clear to the back, low restriction muffler and cat, high flow cone air filter, and a brand new, bored out motor.

The difference is nothing. It is barely noticeable. The motor is nice, but the rest of that crap was a COMPLETE waste of money.

If you want performance out of these motors, you have to get a new cam, and replacing the valve train wouldn't hurt either. That is my plan.

Better than that, swap in a 3.4.

Let me put it this way. These motors are rated right around 100 hp, depending on how old and how many miles. If you bolt on 5-10, it is still a gutless wonder.

Headers, exhaust, intake, all are a waste of money until you have a blower, and then they are gold.
