Topic: 22re engine cam and head question

[marzocchi]

just ordered a front rebuild kit with timing chain and metal guides a head gasket kit and a crawler cam from www.engnbldr.com has any one had any experience with these parts? whats the best thing to do to my head to get the most horses' out of it, is there anything smart to do besides port and polish while its out? thanks

The smart thing to do would be to send it to a reputable machine shop and have them do it and have them check 4 a valve job.

that is what i'm doing, i was wondering what the best thing to tell them to do is.

Should have ordered the ported, and over sized valve, head from them.  Outside of what you ordered, get a header and high flow exhaust.  Should get the oversized valves for your head, to get it to breath smoother.  Outside of that, your not gonna get alot of HP out of a 22r/re.  Without going with a turbo.  You will probably only gain a handful of power, but you will get some better torque with the cam. 

Good luck.


Should introduce yourself here, and tell us about what you got.

engnbldr is a reputable machine shop .... above that, you should add a cam, the 22r/re is not a powerhouse, but for the $, nothing will liven one up like a cam..... you may also wnat to add a high quality exhuast system

i just rebuilt my 22re and put that same crawler 261 degree cam in...slight notice in power not much though....think header  should help more....i want the LCE header...once i come across an extra 400 bucks

and the reason you wont get any noticeable power from your engine is because the cam you chose is LAME

install this cam http://www.toyotacatalog.net/M1WebGear/ProductDetails.aspx?PartUniqueID=2B3BCB39-57B7-4E3B-9C29-71F773B35A7B   and you WILL notice HP

2x on the above cam.. looks to me like it's good enough to be sold twice by lce. for carb/efi and for efi. plus the spec's look the same as the downey-offroad cam. I'll put one in my next motor.
