Re gearing is not an option 1) BIG $$, for the cost of gears and a rebuild kits with solid spacers seals etc I could get a 22re and need associated parts, Or just do the Cam install and other various hop ups. 2) Dont like 5.29s, seen to many broken ring gears and with the 207:1 crawl ration I don't wanna risk chunking gears | |

Don't know if it has been said but the 1983 22r is a little less powerful than the 1985+ 22r which is when Toyota introduced the laser block as its called. The laser block was about 1/2 inch shorter from mains to top deck. This allowed the motor to produce more torque than the previous design. One of the first additions I have always done was a 20r head swap. It boost compression greatly and makes a little more efficient engine. Also if you don't want to go through the 20r head trouble. You can remove your head and look at the combustion chamber and see what you have. Toyota produced 3 head designs. Low compression, which looks like a normal combustion chamber. Mid , which has the surface of the head kinda turning in toward the valve. And high, which greatly turned in toward toward the area between the valves. If you need pics to understand what I'm talking about just let me know

Good thread guy I have been keeping an eye on this I have a 1990 22r in my 67 stout and have been thinking about what mods I wanted to do to it to boost up the power. How much compression does the 20r head gain and what is the differance between the three 22r head compression wise?

I have an '85 4runner with a 22re/5speed and found out 2 1/2'' exhaust is too big, according to a lot of places and exhaust charts I've seen, 2 1/4" is still on the large side but gets you closer to the back pressure you want than the 2". Mine being mostly stock has done 95 mph a couple times on accident. Here's a pic of mine, and yeah it's a pickup cab, it's a long story... |

2) 5.29s are fine and strong. It's the 5.71s you have to watch out for. 5.29s can get tougher if you get them heated and cyro'ed by Bobby Longfield. | |

I looked into the 20R head as well. I was looking at Engine bildrs site, however he spells it that funky way, when I was looking into his cam shafts. it seems a lot of guys like that mod quite a bit. Quote:

On my late-83 block there was no mounting boss for the knock sensor. I ended up drilling and tapping one of the A/C compressor mounting bosses. Untaped the wiring harness and there was plenty of wire to reach the new location. No MIL, no detonation with the timing at 7 degrees. You almost can convert any 22R series to factory EFI, just some are way more work than others. I got lucky and my head had both bolt patterns in it for the EFI manifold, and the carbureted manifold. I just had to tap a couple holes for the extra bolts (like that darn long 6mm allen headed bolt). Most of the 83 and older motors don't have the neccessary holes even drilled, and it is a pain to drill them straight and true. And to add to the complication, some of the heads don't have enough meat to be drilled/tapped without getting into a water passage. Unfortunately, I don't know how to identify these non-convertable heads. You also must swap the distributer and drive gear when converting to EFI. One thing noone mentions when doing a 20R head conversion (especially those who haven't tried it) is that they don't have the mounting bosses for the Power steering pump. This ussually requires fabricating a bracket and relocating the pump to where the A/C compressor goes. Just my $.02, but after seeing the "quality" of some of Trail-Gears spring hangers, axle "rebuild" kits, and P-steering setup, they won't be getting any of my money. |

Well after reading this thread and bunch of others I think I have decided that the only way I am gonna get the power I want is to do a complete turbo motor build. Going to find a builder motor to start with so I can keep driving my stout while I am building up the motor. Gonna start with a good 22rte block add some h beam rods , some forged 8.5:1 pistons , arp head studs , Titan sce head gasket , ported 22re head , custom turbo cam , custom intake with ls throttle body , t3/t4 turbo. Gonna shoot for 250hp to the wheels with 15 lbs of boost. So if any one knows or has a good rebuildable 22rte let me know. |

Don't you already have a Toyota with a shitload of power that you don't drive?
