I was thinking about putting a SuperCharger on my project truck... but dont know much about the Power Gains.. so tranny and other parts, if they can handel it or if it is worth the money.. Any Help??? THX

LC was selling a supercharger (Camden) for the 22RE for a while. My understanding is that it had issues due to the blow through nature.. The Camden was designed to draw through and the fuel cooled the rotors. I don't know if they're still selling it, but I think it ran around $2700.

Torque gain was impressive, like 60%.
Peak HP gain wasn't impressive, like 35hp.
(That's for the "normal" output version, <5psi)
The Camden isn't a very efficient blower, but it does produce boost almost off idle.

I understand that Jackson Racing may be developing one also.. I haven't confirmed that yet. I'd check with them.


Rick at Fullboogie.net has a turbo 1993 pickup on 100% stock internals. He dyno'd over 170hp on pump gas. I think you can do a turbo for a lot less, even considering the requirement for EFI control (Megasquirt, SDS, FAST, etc). Ping me if you're interested, I think I can point you in the right direction.

I've owned the Camden SC, btw, both normal and high output versions.

I really wanna see someone retrofit a toyota or mercedes sc onto once of these efi truck engines. Break the ground for me so I can learn from your mistakes, lol.

I think Mercedes uses an Eaton blower, at least on their SLKs. A blower smaller than the M62 is really too small for the 22R series and would only be good for a few PSI of boost.

I really like the Eaton series - they're efficient and reasonably inexpensive as they're so common.

What about the internals... and motor fab ???

In my opinion, you could put a chevy 350/turbo 350 combination for less money, more power, and more reliability. Ive never seen anyone go back from a V8 swap. Ive seen lots of people, me included, that put thousands into a 22R hybred step child motor only to not be satisfied with it and go V8.

where to go to find a small block conversion to a chebbie with a 93 T 4x4. Been lookin but no luck

well i know that personally i am some body who went from a small block back to the 22re, and i only have stiffer valve springs and a stage 3 cam with kn drop in filter and 2.5 exhaust with a flowmaster. i mean i am only running 36 swampers right now and will be going 38.5 here soon, but i was turning 42' with that small block and yes i was practically unstopable, till the damn plug wires got on the exhaust and i turned the motor and tranny in to omelets. but hey i beat a stroked 450r on the flats by two truck lengths, hell yeah now that was moving fast, kinda skerd me actually.

if you gear the toyota drive train with a doubler and lower diff gears and dont just plant the pedal to the floor and use some skill the 22re will out run a 350, especially on fuel.

that does not mean speed by any means but you can get farther on the technical stuff with the 4-banger, if you are hitting nothin but mud bogs and racing on the dunes or logging roads than yeah a 350 i suppose would be better. that just means i would look at the type of wheelin you are going to be doing mostly and how much you like to fix your truck, cause horse power aint cheap.

nick

wanna race?

All these parts are readily available on craigslist... thats where I bought all mine.
