Dont take anybody's sugjestion on building up a 4cyl. I have a very built 22re in my toy and it absoluteley screams at higher RPM, wich is fun. But is did almost nothing for low RPM torque. For the money I have in to the 4 cyl I could have done a 4.3L:cool:

better go with a 4.3 then....just a few pounds lighter, but gutless enough to not hurt the lil diffs:clappy:
Hey want to race:flipoff: . Ask Troy how fast the Green Machine is. And if I remember right you were pretty happy with the way my 4.3 performed the last time you drove it.:clappy:

I'll race ya with my 42's
 
so, i need some power ratings. i need something that wont be too much for toyota axles, but enough to have some fun. i want to be as quick as my 96 HO OB2 5 speed cherokee with the 4.0 liter, or faster, but light (i know im asking for the world :flipoff:) right now im lookin at an ECO TEC, but worrying about packaging problems, transmission, etc. Possibly a turbo SR20DET :cool: or a gm 3.4 v-6
 
Idea, 4.0 your sami.

Just a thought. Don't know how feasable it is, but I do know people love the 4.0L I had one and loved it. And if you get upset with it there are turbos available.

Dude it would stick out a foot past the grill :haha:
 
the ****in 4.0 liters weigh as much, or more as a SBC, i am NOT looking for a heavy engine. i am looking for half the weight, and possibly unnaturally aspirated. i like BOV's :D
 
The 1.6 16V works great, for a gas motor.
Light, easy on fuel (DD) so far no big issues with power.
With the right gears that is.
But I think the 1.9 TDI would be the BEST choice.:cool:
I prefer the light weight motor or the heavy ones.
