and i am very interested in buying it. it is almost in perfect condition 1986. no leaks found, and everything seems to be working just fine. my only concern is that i'm not very familiar with that engine and i don't know if there are any down falls or any issues with that engine. the truck has been sitting for a while, but the owner does turn on the car every week or so. i went and took a look at it and i'm in the boarder of buying it. but first i want to hear some suggestion from the people that are more familiar with this engine. any help is helpful, so please put in your 2 cents.

thanks in advance
btw, the price for the 4runner is $2,500, is the price reasonable??? taking in consideration that it is a limited edition turbo 4runner that is almost at a 100% condition.

 

 

Parts are sometimes difficult and expensive to buy.
They do make great vehicles though

 

i was speaking with th ower and he said he had taken it to get some stuff repaired, but what is very noticeable is like a vacuum leak. i couldn't find where the leak is located, but couldn't determind if it was the turbo, or something involving the turbo

 

I used to have the link to the 22ret vacuum diagram but I cant find it right now. When I find it ill post it

 

thanks alot, that would sure help, and if by any chance happen to have he vacuum diagram for a 22re, that would also help =) haha thanks

 

What year 22re do you need? Is it a Cali truck?

 

Heres the 22ret

 

yeah they are both cali trucks, thanks btw

 

specialscottie, have you gotten any complicated problems with your 22rt??? i want to be aware of anything common about these engines

 

Nothing complicated.
At the moment it is a little low on power. The 4th cylinder has low compression.
Other than that nothing to complain of. Sometimes it seems like it takes a while for the turbo to kick in. Maybe it could use a new turbo timer.

 

the turbo timer is to kick the engine on to keep the turbo spooling until the turbo cools down. btw, the turbo on the 4runner has just been rebuilt.

Timer is to keep the engine running after you pull the key to allow for proper cool down. Turbo only spools under load.

 

thanks stagger_lee, i noticed that when i took the 4runner around the block, it is stronger then my other 4runner(i have another 1st gen with a 22re, with a 5 gear tranny) once the turbo kicks in, it's just a big difference. the turbo truck is going to be a x mas present for my dad, but he still doesn't know it's gonna be his lol. i'll post some pics up later tonight from the two 4runners, and lets see what you guys think

 

so i started driving the turbo today, and it's a fun ride, runs real smooth. my plan was to sell it. now i'ma keep it until someone offers me the right price for it, BTM what is a good price to sell it for?

 

 

sorry for the huge size, the turbo is the red, the blue has been with me for a year

 

Sweet !!

Body doesnt look bad !!
