Re: 22R - 22RE head change over

check if your head on the 22r in the hilux has 'pear' shaped exhaust ports. If you do, you can swap on the head with no worries.
Otherwise if you have just circular exhaust ports with a smaller circle above for EGR, then you have an early head which equals domes pistons, which equals no go.
With the turbo thing, I have a manifold and rb20 turbo to suit. Afaik, there wasnt a locally made toyota with a 22RTE in it.
EDIT: Also there isn't any difference in the crank. Or atleast I've never heard of such a difference.
