1987 Turbo SR5

[Skudman]

Should be quite the runner (see what I did there?:sombrero when you are done.
.
I have an '85 with the 22RTE/R151 swapped in and it had a CT26 on when I got it and it would really sing from 3k on. The oil seals in the turbo were shot, so I ordered a new CT26 and installed it. Was running kind of rough, so I thought I would do a tune up as the plugs weren't looking that great. Ran a bore scope into the cylinders and found:

There was antifreeze in the #2 and #4 cylinders and they were all worn out. In lieu of rebuilding, I am going for a 4.3 swap. Mine was already hacked, so no loss on mine, but I agree with your rebuild on yours, it deserves it.

Ah man, just when you got a new snail on there too. Do you have a link to your build thread? I'd like to read it.

nice 4runner i myself had 3 reading this makes me miss them all. Any updates on the build?

Why yes, I do have some updates.

I'm very much invested in keeping this thing 22r powered.












































And that is where I stand of today.
-22rte laser block bored .040" over decked .010"
-22re aftermarket American casting head resurfaced with stainless upgraded larger valves and new springs.
-CP forged low compression turbo pistons
-LCE rods
-resurfaced crank
-balanced rotating assembly
-clevite bearingso
-steed speed external wastegate turbo manifold
-turbosmart v band 14psi wastegate
-ported intake and exhaust, light casting flash removall
-ARP rod bolts and ARP head studs
-cometic MLS head gasket
-crower stage 2 cam
-lce high pressure oil pump
-lce dual row timing chain conversion kit
-mandrel bends mild steel intercooler piping "ultimate kit"
-treadstone TR18T intercooler
-fiberglass custom A-pillar (4 gauge)
-vdo senders and gauges.
-inovative wideband O2 sensor with controller
-garret t3/T4 .60 trim hybrid turbo.
-turbosmart BOV
-turbosmart manual boost controler

That's all I can think of off the top of my head. Once I set the motor back in the bay I can start building my intercooler setup under my custom plate bumper. I'm also doing a 5 speed swap. Obviously I'm having it gone through and freshened up plus acquiring all the 5 speed bits.

Here you go.

Just keep in mind that this thing is a trail rig, so it's not pretty.

Incredible work on that motor. Are you going to run a different that factory injection? I would assume so since it can barely handle the stock components and you've gone well past that mark.

Consider looking at Jeff Mosk's22ret build on 4x4 wire. Tons of good detail.

Yes, Im going with a set of RC injectors (370cc) on megasquirt. no more VAFM crap.

I have read his pages quite thoroughly, you can see several similarities with his build and mine.

I carefully placed the powerplant back into the bay and began work fabricating the intercooler pipe, bumper/intercooler bracketry, front plate bumper, turbo heat shield, relocation of miscellaneous heater hoses and existing brake booster heat shielding.

















more to come :beer:

Wow, nice build!

That type of detail on turbo plumbing I'm only used to seeing on race or high dollar builds, not a truck. Great work! The OCD is obviously strong with you. What are you doing for engine management are you using and what type of final numbers do you think you'll end with?

Wow, thank you very much. This is my first big build and I want to do it as nice as I can.

I am going use megasquirt and keep it moderate with around 12 lbs of boost. The motor is built for up to 25lbs and over 300hp, I on the other hand will be around the 200rwhp mark. I want to daily it. I'm overbuilding for my power goals on hopes of longevity and dependability.

Wow, nice build!

Thank you very much, labor of love I say.

More updates, I find myself spending less time in the garage than I like to these days the the new restaurant takes up more time than anticipated but none the less I am still making progress.

The other side of the intercooler was much more complicated, I don't want to eliminate my A/C so snaking my way through (compound "U" bend) while only having two 90's and just a angle grinder was unsuccessful. I have a template to use when I get some more mandrel bends though. I was having some major problems with my Tweco 141i too. I just couldn't lay a nice bead to save my life. I was in a rush and didn't clean my welds enough so the grease form the bending process was contaminating my weld. I also blew through a few times. Ive only been welding for about 5 months now but I am starting to get the feel for it. Needless to say, I will be redoing the whole pipe.









I got that guy in place and decided to change pace a little and start on my bumper build. Since I already had the hot rolled plate steel sitting in the garage from a side project I did I went ahead cut it up on my new General International Metal cutting band saw.



This little guy for being a Taiwanese product is pretty good. I will now be able to make much much nicer cuts and that compound bend will be 1,000 times easier.

Side #1. tacked up





Side #2 tacked up



Starting to weld up the back side, Im doing small sections alternating between sides to assure I'm not heat twisting



Welded all the gaps up on the surface and ground them smooth. Also built my sudo air ram, the idea here was to push as much air into the intercooler as possible.





I got the air intake done for the cold side of the turbo and have almost 1/2" of hood clearance. I also am having to rework the heater core line that go to the rear heater in stainless steel as the stock ones were interfering with the turbo downpipe.



Im currently designing a cover grill for the intercooler in vector to have blasted out by water jet. I need to get all my heat shielding done to help protect the booster/master and such next, then back to the A-pillar pod and interior tear out for 5 speed swap.

I spent a little time and got more done on the front, extending the bottom of the bumper and cutting the holes to flush mount the OEM turn signals.

 

[borison]

Looks really good.

 

[Skudman]

Getting more done on the bumper. Got the holes cut for the lights, added splash guards under them, made a cover for the intercooler pipe in the wheel well. And coated it in U-Pol's raptor liner.











I had a little left in the jar so I sprayed my pillar pod too.
