[GRUNTLESS]

im gunna turbo the gruntless 22r in a couple of weeks and was just wondering if any one had anything to do with one

got the turbo allready, and manifold is no worrys i can make that all my self............... just wondering if any one had any probs if they had one :wink:

(ive just finished making a custom set of manifolds for my mates twin turbo 400 chev)

there was a 2 wheel drive lux 2.7 in hot 4's about 2 months ago, might be worth alook.

( yeah i know ill blow it up but who cares )

It won't neccesarily blow up trav, heaps of the pirate guys run turbo 22r's. Here's a few threads that might help out from there -

[NICK]

is there a reason that you are turbo over super charger?

[M&M Custom Engineerin]

go suck through with a side draught weber

[RUFF]

Jeramy all those links are talking about factory turbo 22RET's not 22R engines.

The bigest prob you are going to have is that the 22R is allready a very high compression engine and wont last very long unless you run a decompresion plate(which will stuff up the cam timing) or replace the pistons with a set of lower compresion ones.

I though of doing this as well but for the cost of an engine swap i could fit a reliable engine that had more power than turboing the 22RE.

[M&M Custom Engineerin]

you can pull the head and remove some material in the combustion chamber to lower the compression ratio.

Without looking at the combustion chamber i dont know if you could take enough material out. If it is a similar design to a 4k head it would be quite easy to do.

Opps, my bad

[GRUNTLESS]

from what i found i thought they were around 8.1 comp

it'll be cheaper for me to turbo then super charge
got the turbo allready 5000ks from brand new,make all manifolds myself,then just oil lines and a webber

i dont really care if it shits itself anyway gunna put a como v6 sooner or later

[M&M Custom Engineerin]

probably sooner rather than later

[BUNDERA]

petrol: (RJ70...)
22R 2367cc petrol 4cyls 2-valves/cyl sohc
bore: 92mm, stroke: 89mm, c.r.: 9.0:1
power: 105 HP at 4800rpm, torque: 136 Ft-Lb at 2800rpm

This is cut and pasted off a bundera site (as bundys use 22r's) and it states the compression above.

Hope this helps

Nick

probably sooner rather than later
