Hey guys, will a fuel injection system bolt on to a 22R motor? Has anyone ever done it? Are there any kits out there? Any info would be appreciated!

Thanks, Traumahawk

 

I think it would be more work than just a simple bolt on. You'd have to do a lot of wiring for the ecu and whatnot.

 

Propane!

 

There may also be a difference with the heads as well as the valvetrain. Not sure on that. PM Kyle 22R. that guy has done a ton of work on that engine, and knows it inside and out.

 

A 22R can be converted to a 22RE. Check out this thread:

it would cost you. either go propane (which is even better than efi if it's just a wheeler cuz you remove all the old ÅÅÅÅty wiring and sensors) or swap in a 22re. just my .02.

 

Hells yeah. That stuff's supposed to enable the 22R to run on its side.

 

doesnt propane just kill the performance? at work we have an old ford feed truck that runs on propane alone, its got a 351 V8 and we've buried it in the horse corral in mud up the the hubs and it wouldnt even spin a tire in 4-LO. i've heard of propane injection where you inject it like nitrous. is that what your suggesting?

 

Yes you can.

There is a good tech article at offroadsolutions.com

Propane is a less efficient CH provider so power suffers.

Have you had carb issues, or is it internet hype?

 

I'm sure you can, but the heads are different!!! I have a 22re in my truck and had to do a head gasket change, so I did but had an almost brand new 22r head, so I put that one on... Little did I know that on the intake side there is one water jacket that dosent line up correctly so I had coolant leaking out of the fornt end of the intake side and into the engine...
