Hey my names Len Martin new to the yota tech forum,

As all of you know a stock 4runner with a 22re 5spd manual isnt the peppiest of vehicles. My solution was a turbo charger I set a budget of 500.00 and used a very basic set of sockets, a welder, angle grinder, hammer and a few other ordinary had tools.

The turbo is off of a stock Subaru wrx/forester full custom everything.

Below is a link to my slideshow of the build I don't have time to do a full write-up on it. any questions please feel free to reply to this thread ill answer anything I can.

as I go through my pictures ill keep adding them as I go as the 4runner is still in the work in progress stages as I need a oil pan for a new oil drain to move further as mine is rotting out

hope you all enjoy

 

looking good man!

 

Can you tell of your experience with driving it pre and post turbo? I'm doing a turbo setup now and just curious about driveability.

The pics link didn't work on my phone so I'll try my computer later. Sounds really interesting tho!

 

Thanks boys, pre boost its slow with boost its much better 4-5psi im having a drain problem for the oil I just picked up a new oil pan havent had a chance to put it in yet after I get it installed I can tune it further and give you an update. Need to run a larger oil drain as the turbo is building oil pressure when its not suppose to

 

Do you have an oil restrictor in the oil feed line?

 

No the drain isnt big enough its 5/16 so I could move the truck out of the shop time isnt my friend these days

 

Oh gosh, yeah, 5/16" is definitely on the small side. I hear ya on the time issue, I'll be watchin for updates tho

 

Ill post them as I go ill try and put a link up for a video when its all done walk around and a drive. Think it will give me what im looking for long live 2gen yota

 

So I finally grabbed an oil pan for the 4runner anyone have any tips on fast replacement ive done some research and found alot of people complaining about the job saying bring it to a mechanic Id rather do it myself so any info would be great as I will be starting the job tomorrow morning

Thanks fellas

 

Replacing the oil pan on a IFS truck? You either have to pull the engine or drop the front diff.

 

Can the engine be raised or totally out if so how high

 

The bolt on top of the mount for front diff is just spinning and I cant get f*@k all up there to hold it anyone got any suggestions

 

New oil pan is in with the new drain running well gonna hook up the fuel pressure gauge this week and start tuning for boost

 

glad to hear you got it swapped out. Was it really that bad??

 

Didnt have to fully remove the front diff just the 3 mounds and lower it down with a jack than un bolt the oul sump and wiggle the pan out it was a pain as I live in canada and rust and siezed bolts are not fun to work with but its all done now what a relief

 

cool...

 

Yep no leaks so wont need to do that again haha

 

Truck is all fixed up building and holding about 5ish psi still a little lean going to adress that tonight otherwise great success

 

what are you tuning on? did you go map clamp or full stand alone? i'm personally a megsquirt fan.

Future plans, do they include meth or a water/air intercooler? Are you monitoring intake temp v Ambient? how much timing are you running?

sorry, taking a step back i'm new to the forum BUT love turbo anything that's where all my history is.

Last few questions:

Does your Wastegate recirculate or is it an atmospheric dump?
Whats the redline of the 22re? and do you think the bottom end could handle a few more PSI

I am using a vortech super fmu to increase fuel pressure in boost that is all. Everything else is factory from 1994 people said it cannot be done and the truck will blow up before it holds any boost well almost a week holding 5psi with nothing more than a bit of extra fuel pressure and the difference is night and day
