Topic: 1985 toyota 22re

my mom got a 1985 toyota 4 runner EFI stock straight axel she has had it for about 7 years and drives the thing everywhere it has alot of miles on the motor and it is hard for her to drive it due to the lift and gears and big tires cant really go to far not enough power where would be the best place to get it for a rebuild so it can have more power or what are some simple solutions for more power

[BadnewsBob]

Simplest way aside from the cost is just to have a Jasper reman put in it.

[Jokeass-Wheelers [OP]]

what is that?

[Sparkplug]

if its not smoking out the tailpipe, gearing the difs is going to help alot more than a motor rebuild.

Smaller diameter tires..............

Rebuilt engine, Jasper is a company that re-manufactures engines. In my opinion they are one of the best.

Boy, your opinion and mine are sure different, I think they are junk!

What size are the tires and what gears are in the Diffs?

basically new 5:29 gears only about 15 trips on them 36x15.50 old style richard cepeck in tires 22re with 165xxx miles on itbut it still smokes and has little oil leak and has gone thorough about 3 head gaskets has not blown one in a while though

Dave'z Offroad Performance builds outstanding engines and he can bump them up for more power.

That's why there are so many to chose from........Your opinion and mine are both just opinions.......Ya gotta go with your own decision......An hope you were right.

165,000       that engine is just broken in. What color is the smoke? WHen you did the head gasket did you have the head resurfaced? anyways... I would look at droping down to 35s. The 22re does not have a lot of power stock. If you do decide to get a built engine remember the stock 22re computer suports about 250hp before it stops fueling. If you are reallylooking for power look at doing a 4.3 swap. With AA you can make it all bolt in A LOT more power good fuel mileage and for what you are going to pay to put a nicely built 22re in you can be done with the 4.3 swap sorry just my

good idea but its moms daily driver and for some reason it is just a tired motor

  for as long as I've been driving I've heard they are junk, usually from people who are utterly pissed off after buying a cheap engine that soon failed instead of a good engine that would have cost them more.  Heard great things about Dave's engines, as well as ATK rebuilds, though the ATK are pricey!
