Hello All,

I'm new to the site and starting my first build of one of my 2 yotas!!
I'll try to update as much as possible. This build was started on 8/16/09 and is still in progress.

New Parts -
Sealed Power pistons(.20 over)
EngBldr C268 Cam
Pacesetter Header
Luks Clutch
Rebuild stock injectors
Radiator 2 row
Oil & Water pumps

The motor went to the machine shop on 8/19 and i'm waiting for a price on them building the short block,and cleaning/surfacing the head.
This truck is completely stock i'm hoping to due more then just the motor this yr but not sure how far the funds will take me.

Does anyone know anything about gasket porting intake/head/exhaust? I want to do this but not sure how far to go with it any ideas? Here are some pics of the start of the build will post more as i go.
Any tips or suggestions are greatly appreciated this is my 1st build any help would be great....

 

Ok so this is how i did my relocation of my battery. This is a pretty easy mod if you don't mind cutting into the drivers side lower fender!!
Tools you will need-
Cut of wheel
metal hammer and dolly
18 gage piece of metal
welder

Ok so the battery fits without cutting, but it will rest on your coolant overflow(not so good) and it will be way off kilter. 1st thing i did was measure my battery and mark out my cuts. Once you got what you need cut start hammering away to make a level surface for the battery. Now your left with a gap so cut some metal and fill it in.. Keep checking to make sure your battery is somewhat level and has room between the overflow. These are things i've been doing while waiting for the machine shop with my motor..... One more thing there is a bolt on the fender that you will have to cut out of the way and weld to fender.

 

How can i post more then 3 pics at a time??? Anyone know lol....???
Here's some more

 

Upload them to a photobucket account, then you can put all the pics you need

 

Cool ty.. Thought about that but seems like more work lol.... I will though might be easier then 3 at a time

Here is the link to the pics of my build so far>

 

Supra afm

 

Harleyman... lol is that a suggestion to put a supra mass airflow meter? Is this possible/easy to do?? Sorry man i'm new to building from the ground up you know lots of stupid questions and ideas floating in my little brain

 

o man, i want a ext cab 22re soo bad!

 

I got one for sale but it's the 3.slow 115k on it runs sweet

 

Yes if you can get your hands on one , Is it easy/possible also a yes





You just have to do a little fab work to mount it but it is doable I just did this one on my full rebuild and for now till I find a better solution this will work but I have a plan to redo this mount and it should work a lot better.

 

What yr did you take it off of? Why not do a switch with the battery i did that yesterday was easy with the engine out lol..

 

i got a 87 supra maf for free.. brand new form autozone. it helps that i work there.ahha.. i use it on a 88 v6 it really has more power and better throttle response

 

Will the 87 MAF from a supra fit on a 94 22re? sounds like it's what i'm looking for

 

yes it will

 

Ok now i'm ready to loose my ... I dropped off my motor a week ago stripped completely. Guy says call me tomorrow i'll have a look at it and give you a price(ok)!!
Now i've been calling everyday because he says call me tomorrow and still nothing not even hey this will cost x amount of $$.... I'm not very happy as you can see, this guy said when i called the 1st time(oh just bring, it in we're real slow) and now it's taking a week to give me a price.

 

Pick it up and bring it some where else

 

I would love to pick it up and bring it somewhere else problem is everyone i call says 2 week min. When i called this guy he said just bring it by we're not busy.... lol joke.
He supposedly has a good rep but i know who does business like that.. I own my own company and i'd have no work if i operated like this bozo.

 

Good new,
Got machine shop to finally give me a price and measurements so that i can order my kit from engbldr! Had to give him bit of grief 1st but moving forward now thank god...More pics and mods as i do them.
O and anyone looking for hard to find parts let me know found a gold mine today, so if you can't find it let me know and i'll try too

 

Ok here's an update Got my cam-radiator-electric fan-new injectors all yesterday. Engbldr sent me a complete rebuild kit yesterday 2 day mail, should have that tomorrow. Machine shop started my block and it should be ready late next week i hope. Today before the rain i sanded/wire brushed the frame-front axle housing-upper and lower control arms,etc. I painted everything 4 coats
