Title: Toyota 22R in to a Samurai?
Post by: 88Sammy on February 14, 2005, 12:31:26 PM: Ive seen many kits for different engines for the Samurai, however is there a kit for the Toyota 22R?

I thought I saw one somewhere before.

Already tried searching but came up with nothing.

Wouldnt that engine be a good choice? ???
What pros & cons would there be? ??? :-/

best of luck,

My current 1.3 is in bad shape and one of my co-workers suggested the 22r as an alternative.

I am toying with the idea as I have one and a 2wd transmission, but not until I blow up my 1.3, if thats possible.

Ditto. I used to be a toyota guy, and even strongly considered putting a 22R into my sami, but the 22R is one of the heavest 4 cylinder motors out there, and one of the reasons I got the samurai was the light weight. Hopefully I can find a wrecked tracker w/ a 1.6 16v and swap that in. If I was going to stretch it(LWB), then I definately would do the 22R/w56/Twin case w/ toyotas axles.

My .02

And I also agree, Pirate has a wealth of knowledge on the 22R swap, just search.

We have been searching hard for about 6 months for a 2.0 out of a 99 or newer trackerbut can't seem to find one thats been hit by a train(or somthing like that). still looking though.
