Hi, I'm a newbie who is ready to seriously mod(atmo only)my lowlux 22r donk.
I'd like to hear from anyone who has acheived reasonable gains from mods done to a 22rc/re.
Also anyone with dyno figures.
I've only just bought my extra-cab lowlux & think its great except for its pitifull power output! I'm guessing approx' 60-70rwhp!!?? From previous engines i have built, i have a rule of thumb for evaluating the success of a performance built donk:
It should have a minimum of 50rwhp per litre, (Hence 120rwhp for a 22re).
What KW does a stock 22rc have from the factory?
What about a 22re?
I'm led to beleive that these donks arent big revvers, that in mind i would be happy with 100+ if i could get it.
I'm guessing the exhaust is very restrictive, also the viscous cooling fan would tax a fair wack given the size of the thing.
My 'Lux seems most effective changing gears at 4000 and only does 145k flat out! I reckon if my "popper straw exhaust" & "truck fan" were ditched, i'd atleast get it off the clock (160k's). It would be nice if it pulled all the way to 5500rpm.
BTW, it also g-teched at a 21sec Quarter Mile (Yeah laugh, i would if it wasnt mine). Sub 17's would be good.
