Which would be better for power(not sure if im putting it in the right words)
But i was thinking about getting a carb kit
but also thinking about upgrading the stock efi
and dont know which direction to go
Just want'd to hear your guys argument between the two.
Thanks

 

you live in cali...


smog nazi's will have issues with you wanting more power, or swapping to a carb.



kinda trumps anything i got to say.

 

Yeah, dude, on a '95 you're stuck with EFI. On an '88 and earlier, you could swap to a Cali smog-legal carb (Weber makes the only one, I believe) because the same truck with the same engine was available carbed.

 

try this site...http://www.lcengineering.com

 

Yeah i was gonna order from this site
but just was wondering which direction to go
either get a carb kit or efi kit

My ears are still tune'd to what you have to say, regardless....

Yeah it seems so

But.... theres always a way around it!!! Right?....

 

I would personally do the efi kit. The California smog nazis are a bitch.

Got Kansas?

Lol, LCEngineering has tried their best to make smog legal parts for the street huh?

 

ok then...


efi and carb'd is a toss up if your gonna stay NA.



both will haul ass and take names if built properly. mega squirt or equivlent stand alone efi will make a HUGE difference, or running dual sidedrafts to get the same result.



i dont think its really worth building a 2xr that much. they just arnt monster motors, and theres so much room under the hood, you could stuff just about anything in there.




for all the hassle and cost you'd go through to run carb'd id just get a stand alone efi system. be cheaper and easier.

 

how would i set up a megasquirt tho? and wut do u mean stand alone efi?

 

one that ditches the stock ECU

 

i got smog buddy

 

In Cali? Not really. There used to be a bunch of sneaky things you could do, like alternate fuel exemptions, to get around smog, but all of them that I'm aware of have been shut down. Now, you're stuck with what was available on your vehicle of the same model year. Even if you do an engine swap, it has to be out of a vehicle of the same year or newer and you have to have ALL of the smog controls off of the vehicle you swapped it in from. Just be glad you don't have an OBDII engine...

 

unless u kno a guy who does smog checks n he hooks u up, ur not passing smog with all those extra goodies under the hood =(

 

there's pretty much nothing you can really do for a 22RE to make it have a bunch of output while trying to pass smog. trying to have a high power smog passing 4banger motor from the early 90's is gunna be tough.

I forgot who, but someone built the motor correctly and adjusted teh carb's perfectly and passed smog.... like.... YEARS AGO

 

i dnt got a carb, i got EFI... ill just put all that **** back on when i go in for smog

 

according to LCE, the piggyback they sell uses a tacoma air flow sensor.

If you can do nice wiring and make it look like it should there, the smog guy wont fail you for oem toyota parts

 

or u can just find a guy who will pass u if u pay him haha

 

About a year ago my tps screw fell out while driving. While I was on the side of the road trying to ghetto tape it so I could limp it home, I had a cop pull up and check out what I was doing. The first thing he did was ask if I had stickers/paperwork for the performance parts. I have all legal parts, but he still checked all the numbers in his computer before he left me alone or asked if I wanted him to call the good kind of tow truck.

If you get a referee ticket from a cop, that is a much bigger deal then just failing smog.

 

damn... k so ima need a list of wut ur running under ur hood and some pics please!

 

its really just the msd, lce headers and downey intake that are visible.

and a pic with the old intake
