Topic: 90ish 22RE into an 84 questions

[Rocktoy2]

Hello all

As I understand it an interior wire harness up to 1988 will fit directly into my cab. Will this harness work with a 90ish motor and engine harness. The motor I found has an auto tranny. Will this cause any problems using a manual tranny? Is there a difference in the wire harness for a1985 49 state 4runner to a CA 4runner? To sum it up
I have a 1985 4runner that is from Florida that I could take the interior wire harness out of. The motor is a 22RE that is 1990 or 91 with an auto tranny. The motor looks very complete and has a harness the runs into the cab with 4 conectors on it. If I use the motor with my manual tranny and the harness from the 85 4runner will it all connect directly to the 90ish 22RE motor? If not what modifications would be needed?

Thanks for any info 
Patrick

The injectors plug up different, and you will have to be shure to have the proper pilot bushing in the crank. You may just want to replace the lower intake with the origonal so that the injectors plug into the wireing harness. There may be some other miscelanious stuff to, that wont plug up the same. I belive the O2 sensors are different, I do know that they are mounted in different locations.Earlier models are in the manifold, and later are in the exhaust pipe near the cat. The ish throttle body is somehow better, and it may be worth while to try to keep it. I know I'm kinda vague, but I don't know all the details.

The easiest thing to do would be get an interior harness and computer out of a 3rd gen truck and install that in the truck you building. If you don't want to go through all of that you could get a propane setup from got propane, then there is no need for the computer, or the harness, check out gotpropane, they make kits for fuel injected trucks. Talk to carey, he's awesome.

The TPS sensor is different!  84 to 87 are the same (with some exception to the turbo models, but very close), 88 seems to be on it own, and 89 on up are all the same.  So, whatever you need try to get it within these years!

Seems I failed to mention the motor includes the computer and engine harness so it is complete all the way to the computer. I need the know if the 85 fi interior harness would be able to plug directly into and work with the 90ish computer.Will my 84 manual trans will work on the 90ish motor? Hadn't thought about pilot bushing Gittinit that could be a big headache. Is the bolt pattern the same for motor? Would be really nice if I can use the heavy flywheel I have on my 84 too. Any info on the auto tranny to manual switch? Will there be problems with engine codes?

Thanks again

The auto tranied motor will need the pilot bearing installed into the crank. It shouldnt be to much of an issue to install one, just clean the hole first. Bolt pattern is the same, and all the manual tranny stuff should bolt up just fine.

I have actually converted an auto to manual, it was a piece of cake. The only thing that was really and issue was tricking the computer into thinking it was in park, other wise it was very straight forward.
