... Not that I take everything from that site as Gospel but I know anyone that posts on that particular site has to know something about what they are talking about or they will be heckled for months.....
Hey Snowtoy... .where you been!! I have missed your "input". Gnarls.
Nothing but cool air and bugs with a snorkel.
Step 1.....................and building a sheet metal barrier between the air intake and the engine. I have thought of also experimenting with an air scoop or several well placed holes behind the grill to force/direct outside air around the air filter.
I yanked the upper intake manifold off this last weekend and I am polishing the inside as far back as I can reach. I know this is a very small thing but looking at several upper intakes it should help in the long run by eliminating places for the nasty oil/dirt/gunk to build up. Has anyone had experience polishing a upper intake that can tell me how to get inside the individual tubes? I can get a dremmel and sand paper about an inch in and thats about all.
What about deleting the distributor?

In my experience there seems to be basically 5 “power levels” for the 22s.2 – you add a header and 2.25” exhaust pipe with free flow muffler. – estimated increase in Tq and HP 8 to 10%3 – you swap heads with oversize valves with a bigger or torquey cam to go with your head and exhaust, intake manifold and Weber. – estimated increase 7 to 10%
How crazy you get I suppose is how badly you want to keep the Toyota badge and how much time and money you have to throw at the modifications.If I were doing a swap to satisfy my desire and had extra money in my “swap-it-bank”, I’d install a V-8.Gnarls.
You can keep the Toyota badge and have more ponies than you need w/o going to a V8, Toyota has 2 I6's that will will produce anywhere from 220-1k HP. On a budget build a 7mgte swap is good for 220-500hp, and can have 400hp for under $5k, while the 2jzgte will produce 400-1k hp for $5k-?
I haven't heard good things about the 7mtge either. I was considering it as a swap but when you look around it is far from a good engine on the non 4x4 sites.
It is time to put the wallet down and step away when you start wanting/needing a stand-a-lone EFI system for your 22re. After these two mod's, the 22r series just doesn't have that much reliable hp left to find, and milking out what is left tends to make cost more than it is worth.
YupI've been down to putneys shop and seen 22r/e motors that where about as built as you can go, supercharged, 20/22 hybrids, ect. He built one recently with a ridiculous amount one-off parts and a HUGE snail bolted to it. He said it should be good for 300+ hp, the price tag was around 9k. I have about 1800 right now into rebuilding a 22re and that's with mostly stock parts. If I didn't live in California and I where to do it again I would definitely be looking into a turbo diesel swap.
I had 1984 Supra..... that engine would NOT be my choice for a Toyota engine swap for my truck!! And... getting that engine to HP greater than stock would be WAY more costly than $5,000!! Or.... can you enlighten me?Gnarls.

.... All in w/purchase of the Supra, engine rebuild, new intercooler, and intake/injector mods, I have spent just uder $3k, not bad for 400 reliable ponies.
... The 7mgte stock internals(or oem grade replacements) are good for 500+HP, and many in the MKIII community run 400 rwhp in their daily drivers, some in the mid 500's, a few have topped 700HP....
...The 7mgte suffered the same issues with the HG's that the 3.0 and early 3.4's did, w/proper rebuild and ARP studs, the HG issue is resolved, that is until you try to go beyond 12-14psi boost on the oem HG.
Showcase engines like that are fine for showing what can be done w/a 22r, but unless you are in a 22r race league, $9k for 300 ponies is insane, that is unless you just hit the Powerball.
Horse power is for sissies!
