So I just got my 22RTE powered 4runner so I am new to the site, but after searching around I haven't really found a whole lot of info about my truck. I went out on the hunt on the web just trying to find some basic info on my motor like CR, what type or turbo I have, whats the factory boost level, what kind of performance options do I have, etc. And I have stumbled on some very helpfull websites that I didn't know if people where aware of on here so I figured I would post them. Check them out.

Jeff's 22RTE site, lots of cool info on upgrading the CT-20 turbocharger and a ton of links.

Another good site.

Bill Lantz runs a 22R-TE site called Elite Turbo Toys.

TEC a company that makes a direct bolt on garrett T3 turbo upgrade for the 22RTE.


Pic of the turbo kit.

 

wow somebody's been doin their homework. how much HP do the 22RTE run at stock? if you know off the top of your head, im just curious.

 

around 130-150 at the flywheel

 

135 hp.

 

135hp@4800 RPM 173 ft pounds @ 2800 RPM, pretty cool

 

thats funny considering my honda b16 4 cyl is NA and rated 170hp

 

Actually 160 hp, and also a measly 116 lb ft of torque, bleh.

Horsepower sells cars, torque wins races.

 

its actually a jdm motor and the compression is higher then the usdm motors, 170 @7200 rpm redline is 8200.

 

but its not a yota, 8 grand is a cool selling point but sounds like crap in those little 4s and is worthless for daily driving, no one wants to be cruising around north of 5 grand just to get a little torque and horsepower

 

You may have also found that the turbo's like to crack around 60k-80K miles. Too much heat stress with no intercooler.

 

So how do I know if my turbo is cracked? Would I notice any performance problems? I have 160k on my motor btw.

 

it doesnt sound like crap at all, just sounds like u have heard some honda's with ÅÅÅÅty exhaust, i'm just running 2 1/2 inch stainless to a magnaflow and its sounds super nice. NOT like a damn can full of bumble bees like i;m sure u've heard

I like this write up a lot lol it talks about a t3 t4 upgrade

 

Thanks for that...bookmarked!! Now just need to find the time...and money ;-)

 

Too bad almost nobody(if anybody)with a 95.5-2004 Tacoma or 96-2002 4Runner has a 22RTE in it!

And everybody that does have a 22RTE won't even be able to find this thread with all these links to cool 22RTE sites in the correct forum.

Brilliant!

Sorry, but it's becoming a pet peeve of mine. I mean come on!? 95.5-2004 Tacomas & 96-2002 4Runners? 22RTE!? Seriously!?

 

3rz turbo > 22RTE.

 

im putting mine back together with a t3/4 turbo, custom turbo header, intercooler, turbo timer, just waiting on arp studs

 

What are you putting back together? 22RTE OR 3RZ? Cuz I have head studs for a 3RZ. Maybe I should turbo mine? Hmm... Whatcha think Mudhippy!?

 

im putting back together a 22rte didn't see how old this post was
