turbo, or engine swap....?

[Tommy]

Hey guy's, I figured I would get you opinions and advice before I jump into this... I want a little more power out of my pre runner. It is mainly used for freeway driving (184 miles a day - commute to work), and then on logging roads and such on my time off, with a little mud mixed in sometime...

Anyway, here is my dilema.... I was debating about a turbo, but don't know how difficult that would be to install.. can I get one from another toyota, or would aftermarket be better? Are they difficult to install and set up? How about a header for them, is it different?

The other option I thought of was an engine swap. I heard that there is another toyota motor that will bolt up to the 5 speed trans I have behind my 22re, is that true, what is it out of, and what kind of power would I be looking at?

Any other suggestions? Thanks for the input!!!

Ok i think i know what ur talking about. The motor that will bolt up to ur tranny is the Supra. What year is ur truck? I have read several articals about this, but i dont remember where, but all u need is to do a search and u should find some.

Ok ur in luck i searched a lil and found some sites. www.4x4wire.com/toyota/tech/supra/ - www.off-road.com/toyota/tech/supraswap/ - 4x4.4t.com/4runner/7mswap.htm These are both Turbo and non-Turbo Supra engine installs. The ones i would really look into would be the on Off-Road.com. Its a 22RE to a Supra 7M-GE. And the one on 4x4wire.com is a 22RE to a Supra 5M-GE. But they are all good. Hope This helps, or if u got other questions just Drop Them Here, Laterz Man

Who makes a turbo for a toyota trucks? I looked for one for my 3.0l and came up short. Anyways, I'd do a swap. The tacoma 3.4 bolts right up I've heard. If you get one of these, you can get the supercharger with it. Stock, they have around 190hp, supercharger goes around 260hp or something. I always thought the supra engines were an inline 6. Are they? They thought of more room with a v-6 seems better to me.

Carlos4x4 posted this address. They did a 3.4 swap. www.4x4wire.com/forums/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=379904&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=14&fpart=1

Sorry to burst ur bubble but no one makes anykind of turbo or supercharger kit for 3.slows. If u want any kind of forced induction it has to be custom made, POSSIBLE YES, ive seen it done. Ok for the 3.4L swap it will bolt on if ur doing the swap on a 3.0L, if its a 4cyl you have to make motor mounts, yea i've read the article on 4x4wire. Yes again supras are inline 6.
