I took a few pics tonight of my turbo swap. Got the old motor out and did some much needed cleaning of the engine bay.

Old 22re.



After alot of cleaning of the engine bay.




The new motor, it's a 22rte bottom end, with a ported 22re head, headstuds, cometic MLS headgasket, and T-3 turbo.

 

Looks sweet! I love a clean engine bay!

 

that's awesome!!!! what did you use to clean the bay??? it worked very well.

 

I, used Purple Power and alot of dish soap. I also used a pressure washer on the frame and then coated everything with WD40 and wiped everything down real good. I'm also putting A/C and power steering on in the process. I've got all this week to work on it. I almost painted the engine compartment satin black, I'm so glad I didn't.

 

Looks good! I would love to add a turbo from the RTE on mine.

 

which 22RE head did you use?! man i would love to try a RTE setup like that some day!

 

i wish we had one of those "lick" smilies! good job!

 

Cool

How much horsepower will that setup make?

 

look very nice!

 

thats gonna be sikk...

 

I'll let you know after I dyno it at a friends shop in a few weeks.

 

Wow man looks super clean! Lovin it for sure! I want a 22rte so bad... just no way to find them up here in canada.... i only know of one and the guy wont sell it. Lol

Keep up the good work man!

 

nice man i want to see how much power it makes. i wanna do a 22re-t as well.

 

I'm going to use the stock ECU for now, untill I can do a stand alone system. I've been held up on all things, silicone hose. I'm going to get back to work on it next week. I'll have some pics up when I get the engine back in.

 

I'm going to guess 320 Hp @ 18 lbs of boost. That's only if you mod all the other stuff.

Bigger injectors
better lines
huge intercooler
etc
etc
etc

What type of clutch you going to use?

 

sick!!!!! nothing like hearing the sound of a turbo spooling coming from a mini truck. cant wait to see it done

 

320hp??? if it makes that then im totally gunna do an engine like that!! thats ricer stomping power!

 

Bwuahaha, you really forgotten how much torque you will possibly make. 320hp sounds good? well 300+lbft of torque sounds much more fun hehehe

 

I'm going to hope for arround 170 for now. I don't think I can do that untill I put the water injection on. I'm going to run about 7lbs for starters. I'm also going to swap out the turbo later on.
