How much work would be involved in putting a turbo into a 94 pickup with the 22re engine? i have a turbo and want to do it. also how much money??
Thanks

depending on what you want to do with the turbo. im sure you can just find a 22rte exhaust manifold slap a turbo on it and get the computer.

but to do it right you are going to want to make less compression so you dont blow the head up every few weeks.

to turbo anything correctly its going to cost some serious cash.

heres a site that has info on turbos (still no prices and major fabrication): http://sdsefi.com/techheader.htm

 

I have a complete 22rte listed in engines/trannys. Kev

 

If you are trying to use a turbo out of a 22rte it isn't as easy as some suggest. An aftermarket system would be easier. Just to start off with the oil return is plumbed through the side of the block and though drilling into that point is easy to locate if you miss the mark by even a hair you will end up in a coolant chamber. When I was thinking about replacing my 22rte with a 22r block I found this out since I wanted to keep the turbo but wanted to put a rebuilt in and have it ready to go. I opted to rebuild the 22rte due to this. I didn't want the down time but it had to be done that way. If you transplant a 22rte make sure to get a non 4Runner since the wiring is different than the trucks. 4Runners came with only an auto trans and digital dash. The dash is cool though. Also make sure to get everything all the way to the vacuum actuated waste gate. Getting one out of a 5 speed pickup is way easier to deal with.
