turbo anyone?

[94yo4X4]

ive got a 94 pu with a 22re and ive seen lots of products for turbo charging. im in serious need of more hp and an intake and exhaust arent gonna do it for me.. how hard is it to install a turbo on the 22re? ive read a lot about the kits and parts i just want to hear from some one that has experienced it or has tried to do it.....thanks

I don't have any experience with installing a turbo on a Toyota Pickup, but I have a 1986 Toyota Turbo 4X$ Pickup. I don't know if you would really get a bang for your buck on a turbo'd 4 cylinder. Although I am sure that my 4 cylinder turbo winds up quicker than a stock 22re, I really don't think you are putting a bunch more HP to the ground. You might want to look at some other options, like a six cylinder model if you need more horses.

It's far cheaper and better results to swap in a GM 4.3v6.

You will run into some problems when putting a turbo on a no-turbo 22RE. The compession is to high and the computer will not understand a pressure in the intake instead of a vacuum. There are ways around that but I think you will be into more of a headache then it is worth. Get a bigger engine if you want more power. Stay with the 22RE if you want a bullet proof engine!

run the truck, buy a turbo car, that ends your dilemna

I'd hardly call the 22r bulletproof.....
Throw a lil more compression on it and it'll stretch them long head bolts in a short time. And then there's the timing chain/water housing issue...
I'll say I never chucked a rod, but it wouldn't turn more than 7,500 rpm in any gear.
