22RE in 81 hilux
Thu, 06 January 2005 05:12
after a bit of thought ive decided to drop a 22RE in to my hilux and use the siezed 18RC as an ancor
so what parts will i require to get the 22re in there?
i assume the engiene mounts are the same because thier both R engienes and in the states they came with this engiene from 81-88 and the chasis in the hilux didnt change till 94 also i think.
my hilux has a celica 5speed in as well, will i have any troubles there hooking up a 22re to it.
the biggest reason i want the 22re, its fuel injected, younger bigger and more efficiant.
so ill need to rewire everything?
or just run the loom to the ECU (or ecm whatever it ocmes with) sit the ECU under the seat and then get a sparky to wire the gauges.
whats the best way to get all this crap, get a front cut or just buy engiene loom ECU, map censor....and what not.
anything else im missing.
how much approx will a complete 22re run for nowadays, one wreckor wanted just under 500 for a non reco 18RC i laughed.
thanks for the help this forum is so much better than the other so called truck forums i tried posting on.
thanks
