Topic: 22RE Conversion Questions

[awhotrods]

I know its been asked before, but I'm trying to figure out the easiest way to plumb the fuel system on my 82 4WD to work with the RE.  Is there an external pump off a mid 80's or 90's F250 or something??  I only have the engine, and no ecu or harness, so this project is barely off the ground.  Any help or input is greatly appreciated!

Why not just convert to an EFI fuel tank? It will be more reliable and you can convert the whole carb fuel line (~5 psi) to the larger EFI fuel line (40+ psi) so your engine won't have any chance of runing dry.

Just find a extra cab 2wd at the wrecking yard and score on a huge (14-16 gallon) tank with the fuel pump, sender, and grab all the fuel lines.

BigMike will cringe at this, but I'm actually using the carbed truck fuel line with zero problems.

I cut off one end of the high pressure fuel line at the tank, slipped it over the carbed line and hose clamped it in place.  Same trick at the engine.  I did this over a year ago with the intention of running a new larger fuel line and plumbing it correctly, but have never gotten around to it.  Zero leaks, Zero problems.  I know it is absolutely not the correct way to do it     , but it works as a "temporary" solution.
BTW, I'm using an EFI 4Runner tank in my 84 pickup...

Reklund can I ask what year Truck EFI system you put on your Truck   I want to upgrade my 85

We are lucky to get any toyotas at the closest p&p over here.  the only ones i have ever seen are like 86-89 2wd shortbeds in crappy condition, missing almost everything.

Actually, I do have a heavy-ass size 14 foot.  My truck runs fine- with the TRD header and cam and a little Toyota Tech tweaking here and there 

All of the components for my EFI came from a 1984 Celica with a 22RE.  I modified the harness to work and had to extract the AFM, 02, and coil wires from the Celica dash harness and fit them into my pickup.  I also made the fuel pump circuit, using the circuit opening relay from the Celica.  My fuel tank is from a 1987 4Runner with a stock 7M Turbo engine Supra fuel pump installed.  I run 45psi of fuel all day and haven't had ANY trouble with my fuel line setup...

I swapped the EFI off of an '89 runner in my '84. I used the complete wiring harness and EFI system from the '89 and everything went back together perfectly. I didn't have to cut or splice any wiring. This should work on any '84 to '88 truck or '89 runner as long as they are the same body style.

 My old ride was an 84 extended cab(carb'd) turned 87 runner,I put the body on my frame,reworked the rear spring's(relocated rear end).I just got done swapping to EFI on my engine using an 85 EFI setup,carb fuel line's,30 gal tank out of a full size blazer and using the stock in tank yota fuel pump...It work's great.

Thanks bluetoy I am getting a Efi from a newer truck to get a little more power .    Lynn

reklund , why didnt you say you had a 7m pump,    that makes alll the difference

[BigMike]

Cool that it works like that, I saw a truck come in that had rubber line all the way from the pump to the fuel rail. Couldn't believe it.

Might try this link http://www.autoperformanceengineering.com/html/ext_pump.html I think walbro is what to go with.

Also this place sells them too:

 7M Turbo engine Supra fuel pump installed in an 86-88 EFI fuel tank, How easy is this? does it actually increase flow/PSI

[awhotrods [OP]]

I've been doing alot of wrenching on my truck lately, pulled the motor, tranny, and t-case, built a dual ultimate setup with midgetmike, and aquired the 22re motor, harness, and a gas tank.  The tank is out of a 90 shortbed 4x4, and is WAY to big to fit anywhere on my truck.  At this point, I'm thinking I will go with an external pump from  http://www.autoperformanceengineering.com/html/ext_pump.html, the first one they have listed.  Has anyone in norcal completed a conversion like this that I could hit up for some pointers?  Everything is going together pretty good, but I haven't figured out what to do with the dash section of the harness.  I was thinking about going with the offroad solutions setup, have any of you guys used their conversion harness?  Any help is greatly appreciated!!

[Rockdiver]

  Awhotrods    Do you have contact info on offroad solutions  I an adding newer EFI to my 85after motor rebuild   Interested in checking  out  any way to wire it easier thanks Lynn

Ryan did you use a external fuel pump on your conversion?  What did you use for the dash harness section?
