Toyota 22R in to a Samurai?
« 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? ??? :-/

thats a very strong engine, but i don't think you would see a non-zuk engine swap around here very often.

best of luck,

We had a Toy equiped Sami in our club for a while but it was sold. It had the 22-R and complete Toy Driveline put into a Sami.

I looked at this a little but decided that the iron block would change the balance too much for me. I think like offroad.com had a guy putting toy stuff in his sammy. Was a complete write up on it.

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

I know you'll be hard pressed to blow a 22r up.  But if it as 22re, when they ingest water it tends to be bad for some reason but the carbs do ok.  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.

You can take the Sammy off the trail, but you cant take the trail out of the Sammy.

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.
