Part 22 The 22re Performance is here! 1987 Toyota 4runner Restoration

[@TractorWrangler01]

That was the best year ever for Toyota trucks. I had a carburetor 22R. No problems with it untill it hit 274k then the head gasket gave out. Wish I had another one. Eventually the frame rotted through.

[@Rudolfisareindeer]

I bought my '87 three weeks ago and it's been sitting since due to the few honey-dos I need to attend to before I feel 100% comfortable with driving it daily. I've been watching every. Damn. Video of yours since it's been home just waiting to get it all together. I'm so damn happy to see your engine finally in man.

[@KyleAutomotive1]

Thank you man!

[@robbfisher2876]

Man I miss my 7M 4Runner.

[@A_R912]

If you want to clean the connectors on the wiring harness. Use isopropal alcohol. Its what we use on all the elctronics of our helicopters. It will leave the connectors looking almost new.

[@Rudolfisareindeer]

That's brilliant, thanks for the tip man.

[@KyleAutomotive1]

Ill have to give it a shot. Thanks

[@A_R912]

I forgot, pour it into a spray bottle and use a tooth brush to scrub.

[@eraskeesee5364]

As soon as I discovered this, I pretty much binged every part. This is awesome work!

Thanks!

thanks man!

These videos make me so anxious to buy a first gen 4Runner! Cannot wait to get my hands on one.

[@studid55]

also, what type/size of tire are you running?

[@KyleAutomotive1]

Thank you! Tires are BF Goodrich 33x12 if I remember correctly.

[@josephdavis2427]

Just wait until you dabble in the 2R and 3RZ...stronger, four valves per cylinder and stock rotating assembly that can easily handle 1,000 hp for thousands of hours. My last 22R was a meager 180 hp with a 30 lb flywheel. It took a lot of preparation and money. An RZ upgrade versus an old 2.4L is much like how LS small block Chevrolet opened up way more possibilities and power for less money.

[@rcppop3090]

Joseph Davis I was thinking the same thing. Spend all that money in a 22re when a 3rz is way better bang for the buck. That being said a Chevy v6 is the ticket!

Great videos! I love watching because i did a lot of similar resto on my 86 4runner in 2018. Cant wait to see yours running. Best of luck!

[@mintyzee3000]

I was so excited when I got the notification about the video and another successful wrenching video cannot wait for the next one!

Beautiful piece of art man! I just got my 22R from them as well. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@atch9790]

Coming to together nicely🤘🏻

[@genelambert5869]

Nice video, but I have some suggestions. Use a torque wrench, always! Also, anywhere on the engine, particularly the exhaust manifold, use anti-seize compound. All new gaskets and hoses.

So good. I have a 91 hilux Looking for more power How much more power wood U have? Thanks Phil from Australia

[@KyleAutomotive1]

Thanks! Motor will run about 130hp on the stock ecu but this particular motor is good for 500hp with boost and proper tune.

[@philfoote829]

@@KyleAutomotive1 I have a 22R still carby thinking supercharger or what you have done. they did not come out EFI in Australia but I managed to source the EFI off a Toyota Celica.What do you think I should do? Diesel could be another option but I just love the 22R

[@azeissler1987]

Is that a 22RE performance engine? Those are from my home town. Very nice man. I wanna get their 2.5 engine one day... anywho, looks great man!

[@KyleAutomotive1]

It is the 2.5 stage. It's so beautiful. Thanks man!

[@azeissler1987]

@@KyleAutomotive1 I cant wait to hear what you think about it. It seems worth the money, especially compared to an LCE engine.

[@KyleAutomotive1]

Yeah for sure man. LC motors are pretty much for racing applications, where as 22re performance motors are built for reliability

[@MrJmw8201]

I'm considering having them build a Stage 2.5 like yours. My question for you is, is the power and horsepower gain noticeable?

[@eliasalvarado6656]

Did he ever reply

[@MrJmw8201]

@@eliasalvarado6656 Not yet anyways

[@KyleAutomotive1]

Power is going to be about the same unless you run a standalone ECU like megasquirt or something similar. You are basically paying for longevity and reliability. Thanks!

[@felipetejeda7545]

Did you buy a brand new engine for 22re performance? I check the website and from my understanding is they only do rebuilds. I thought LCE engineering was the only team that actually produced new replicated engines? Mine has about 145K on the odometer, but if I ever need a new engine, I wanted to get one new.

[@jd-kd3mm]

How did you clean your used parts? What did you use? They look great.

[@KyleAutomotive1]

brake parts cleaner and a wire wheel on a drill

[@coastjaco]

How mouch you pay for this engine and how many horse power have ??

[@KyleAutomotive1]

It's a stage 2.5, he has the price on his website. Without any upgraded engine management and boost, it wont make that much more than factory.

[@cirilohernandez7965]

Buen motor 😄

[@sonnynguyen6051]

how much power are you getting from that 2.5?

[@KyleAutomotive1]

About 130hp since I'm still on the stock ECU but it;s good for 500hp

[@sonnynguyen6051]

Kyle Automotive 500??! I’d be happy with 250, planning on getting another 1st gen and I want to make an overland rig out of it; was thinking of doing a 5.3 sbc swap. Came across your videos and looked up 22 performance. I love the 22re, for its versatility jut not it’s power. Do you plan on adding more to get more HP/torque?

[@KyleAutomotive1]

5.3 is a pretty cool swap. I like sticking to the Yota power though but that's just my preference. 22re is a great motor. Has lots of potential for bigger power! Honestly for now, no. But eventually, I would love to boost it

[@chadmiller6576]

Did your order with 22rePerformance come with a new dust shield, and flywheel by chance or did you order those separately?

[@KyleAutomotive1]

It did not, found the dust shield on ebay and the fly wheel is also from 22re performance.

[@johnswennumsom5258]

Hey Kyle, how’s the stage 2.5 running? I ordered on a few weeks ago.. and I’ve heard “from a competitor”, that a stand alone system is required, first I’ve heard of this dilemma. So, I’m curious what your experience and thoughts are? My initial feelings are that Jim at 22re performance, knowing his sincerity and business practices, would without doubt inform a customer of this fact, if indeed a stand alone was necessary etc..

[@KyleAutomotive1]

It's running great! Running on stock ECU. However, I would like to megasquirt it in the future for a safe measure.

[@johnswennumsom5258]

@@KyleAutomotive1 Interesting.. I’ll be putting the 2.5 in my wife’s daily drive 86 4Runner, and while I want the best power and reliability, this does make me think about going with the stage 2.. Thoughts?

I have replaced the { fuel pump, fuel pump screen , Fuel Filter .Fuel Pump Regulator . } . I took the gas tank off. & cleaned it . { it will run as long as you spray gas in to the Air Cleaner } you Stop It Dies ! today is 4/27/2018 I can find No One That Can Help Me! I have been trying to fix it . Now I will say that 2 times over the years I have got it to start & run till I shout it off ! & it did restart ! But I went out the Next Day ! & It would Start for Less then 1 Sec & Die ! I Love this truck Please Help Thanks George

[@KyleAutomotive1]

Try cracking the bolt loose on the fuel filter, turn key. If you see fuel leaking out, you got fuel pressure. Don't worry about testing for spark because you said you can spray gas in there and it will run. But try replacing plugs, diz cap, rotor AND the O-ring anyways since they are some of the cheaper maintenance items. Water can get in your distributor if your O ring is crispy. If that doesn't work, buy an intake plenum gasket, take your plenum off (not the whole manifold). Unplug each injector one at a time and connect a 9 volt battery to each (polarity doesnt matter). Just touch the wires and you should hear a click sound from the injector. If not, you could have stuck injector. Hitting them with a hammer a few times will usually do the trick. Also there are two sensors on the front of the intake manifold. Could've fried cold start thermo switch. Try those things. Theres a way to ohm out that sensor to make sure it still works since they are a little expensive. Try this link if you havent yet. 22reperformance.com/faq-diagnostic-info Hope you can get it running!
