Hybrid Engines/TA22

Hi,
Im deciding on an engine to be fitted to my TA22 shell once it has been repainted. Ive been thinking of a hybrid 2/3T engine, and have a stock 2T-C already in the car. What is the EXACT process for a 2/3T Hybrid, and could i use a 3T-GTE injection and exh manifold on it? Would this be more viable, or a 4AGE instead?
And to make the conversion legal, i think id need new brakes, any bolt up upgrades? What diff would you guys recommend?
Im just tossing up a few ideas atm, and any input would be appreciated.
And no, i cannot afford a 3S conversion, much as id like to.
Cheers

as for brakes u could use ra60 front struts but they would have to be shortened to fit.they are 10.5" vented discs,as for the diff u could prob. use the existing one but an ra23 would be better

If i cant use RA60 struts, then the next option would be the hilux/peugot calipers combo, correct?
and dont RA23's use the same diff? T series?

You could use RA60 struts in conjuction with longer control arms to correct the camber problem. I know someone who did this in his T18 and it wasn't hard to do, however it did increase the front track width significantly which may cause wheel clearance issues.
The other option is to use shortened RA23 struts and upgrade them with RA60 discs (see my web site) or the Hilux/Pug upgrade (see the tech article).

An RA23 diff is not stronger than a TA22 one.

Depends which TA22 you have. The earlier TA22's have a D series diff which is smaller than the T series found in later TA22's and RA23's.

Late 2T-GEU heads are better than 3T-GTE heads. The ideal setup would be a 3T bottom end (doesn't have to be 3T-GTE) with a 2T-GEU head and manifolds. Big cams and lots of compression or a turbo and you'll be set.

Or you could go for a late 2TGEU motor and use the 3T crank and rods (slides straight in and makes it 1.8ltr) and over size the bore if you wish to a 2ltr. The later 2TG blocks are identical to the 3T blocks so everything will bolt straight in. Then turbo or super charge it as you wish.

i think there is a 4y crank conversion you can do to take it out to 2.2 litres

Juzzo,
All reading and reports on the Y series crank upgrades advise against doing it as it is a slow reving dog of a hybrid thats not only a PITA to build but will most likely thro a rod with any sort of RPM. I was going to do it myself but decided against it after looking into it.
If anyone has actually built one themselves I'd love to know what piston and rod combination was used ???
Hoon,
The blocks and heads are all interchangeable. The Unmarked 88262 head is the only one to cause you any issues. It has the offset combustion chambers and requires special pistons to suit.
As for what to build, depends what you want and what you can get for the right price at the time.

When i had my head off, (the unmarked 88262 head) the only visable offset was on the pistons, not in the head itself. I'm sure any normal piston configuration will suit the head just fine.

Better check again my friend. The Combustion chamber is ALOT different to any other T series head. Just any old T series piston WILL NOT work. The offset is on those pistons for a damn good reason....... To stop them slaming into the head !
