I am thinking of putting a turbo on my 22re and i need help finding sites for the parts. If there is people selling turbo parts on here and tips on doing this. Thanks

 

LCengineering.com

Waste of money IMHO. The 22RE motors were not really designed for a turbo setup, and wont last very long with one in stock form.

 

find a stock '86-'87 2RET?????

pretty sure the 22ret's had different combustion chambers (or so i've heard), and have the holes drilled for the oil (known as LAZER block), had lower compression pistons, and i know im missing other stuff..im no expert by any means..lmao but i know a little..lol

 

The laser block is '85+ 22r/e blocks, not specifically 22rtes

 

The 22RTE blocks are however drilled and tapped to accept the turbo cooler oil return line

 

exactly..lol

why get your own block drilled by a shop that probably hasn't ever done it before..when you can get a perfectly fine block drilled from the factory for the turbo..lol just makin it easier..at least in my opinion i am

 

I was planning on rebuilding the block with low compression pistons and H beam rods. I am looking for how much boost I could run and were is a good place to drill the holes in the block for the oil. I like run as boost as it take. i am building this truck into a prerunner for the sand dunes. I like to keep the 22re instead of putting a v6 or v8 in it, because that is to easy to make more power. plus i like that turbo sound! if I can find a turbo block for sale somewhere by me I will go for that. I already knew of LCengineering.com is there other sites to look at for parts? Thanks for the help

 

i have a black 87 ext cab 5 speed turbo pickup but it needs a turbo. It just went out a couple months ago. I am in virginia though. i want to sell it but will be working on fixing it till it sells. just a private message if you interested

 

PM sent on the truck

 

go over to customtacos.com and youll find lots have turbo'd the 22re - go for it and dont look back.
