I know that the 90-91 crx Si's in canada had 4 wheel disc for sure. I'm pretty sure the 88-89 also... not sure about usdm though?
I know that they always change from can to us like our 97 civic si was your 97 civic ex... and other stupid ---- like that.

The Truck when I bought it... Pretty beat up but next to free so why not


This is the truck now with body work, paint, lots of welding... damn winters out here, all the salt just eats these trucks up!!

I rebuilt the motor last spring, ready for boost!!!

Smith-02

a t3 like i had will spool below 3 grand (around 2500 or so) on a 22r. a t25 in any trim would spool at like 1700rpm. although good for the motors powerband, bad for anything past 5k

edit: detail me on what your truck is. im assuming its the g52 or whatever the trans was. 5spd? or auto. the automatics toyota used are pretty beefy actually..

I'm not sure what to believe anymore but he told me he'd get the engine for sure by the end of december, I don't really care anymore !! I think I'll just boost the D in the mean time...

Truck details: 1986 Toyota 4X4 reg cab/ long box
22R (Carb), 2367 cc disp, 9.0:1 compression, 100 hp, rebuilt last spring
Carb is Stock 22R Aisan (flow 326 cfm)

Transmission is a rebuilt 1989 W56 5-Speed manual from a 22RE
Transfer case is a used 1988 RF1A (21 spline gear driven)

Stock cam specs: Intake Duration- 272 degrees, Exhaust Duration- 248 degrees, Intake Lift- 10.1 mm, Exhaust Lift- 9.7 mm
Block: Bore: 92mm Stroke: 89mm

271 cfm @ 5500rpm ~theoretical maximum on a 22R block.
Rolling on some 31X10.5 tires wt factory rims

So I guess I'll shop around for a good used CT-26 or a T3 then....

Wow.. lot of work in that truck!

What manifold are you going to use on the 22R?

If you're going *cheap* - OEM manifold, the CT26 can be made to fit with minor slotting of exhaust side holes. The CT26 will support over 200hp, which is about the limit of the cast pistons anyway...

I'd strongly suggest EFI, if you're going to do it - especially with as much time as you've put into that truck.. You can do "fuel only" megasquirt very simply and basically it's just an add-on, keeping your stock ignition system. You'll have no timing control, unless you do some sort of MSD unit.
Full megasuirt really isn't that hard to do, there are at least 4-5 trucks running it.


If you're going to carb.. draw through.
I did an EFI (TBI) draw through setup on a supercharger that actually worked very well:

Nice setup on that SC dcg9381... What's the price difference on going the EFI route compared to megasquirt? I'll have to look into megasquirt cause I keep hearing about it, as for the mani I'll either be using the stock cast non-turbo manifold and welding a flange to it or maybe custom homemade flange, def not the factory turbo mani cause I can't find any around here although it'd make it a lot easier!

I keep hearing different stories on the outcome of blow thru carb setups. When I do the truck it'll be low boost just to get it moving off idle cause it's too damn slow... need more torque!!! I figured I'd be able to tune it with the carb blow thru set up if it's only low boost but I guess I'll have to do more homework... wish I had gotten a 22RE or 22RTE such better platforms to start with but this truck was so cheap !!

you still havent posted pics of your GF.......
