So High School Drags is Around The corner and i need to make i wanna make those hondas think twice about going against a toyota....so i have an 83 22r i already bought a 20R head and going to use oversized valves...and if i can find one im gunna try and use a side draft set up....also going to swap my tranny for a W58... My question is...what eles can make the dream come alive lol....
Thats a good start, toss a good sized cam in it with a header as well and it'll be decent. I had a 45 dceo side draft, header and 272 crane cam with a 20/22r backed by a W58 and it had great bottom/midrange but ran out of poop about 75. Aerodynamics are a bitch.
Don't forget to change your rear to at least a 4.11 but would suggest a 4.30. And also get a locker installed as well.
ya Im going with hooker headers i already have 2 1/2 exausht system =) im trying to find a side draft set up but everyone wants an arm and leg for them if i cant find one then i might just port the crap out of the 20R intake and run either a Weber 38 or a Holley 500
The stock Gear ratio I have is 4.11 Im looking for a locker but thier hard to come by lol.... however i was thinking of swapping in a 4 runner rearend and installing a supra LSD Diff..watcha think
Weber 38 is fine for now if you can't afford the sidedraft setup. But, with the w58 trans you definately need a 4.11, 4.30, or 4.56 gearing.
yeah i know that the rear end will be my biggest issue im just not trying to be ghetto and weld the Diff when i can spend the same amount of time and effort and swap in a 8inch 4 runner rearend and use a supra LSD diff ... Work Smarter not harder lol
Some 87 trucks came with an 8" rear end so you might want to check that. Also, if you go to a junkyard there in Washington I'm sure you can find a gearing you would like and slap in a lock rite locker for 250 and you're good to go! Good luck!
88 2 wheeldrive V6 trucks will be 8" and any 1 ton 2 wheel drive will be as well. Find an 8" and I'll make ya a sweetheart deal on a lockrite.
+ a billion on deep gears with the w58. Its designed for a for a deep gear ratio with a torqey motor. If you do swap to a 8" axle, get a rear end out of a pre 79. The width is right (later axles are like 2 inches wider). To use the supra LSD you need a "V6" (or turbo SR5 2wd) differential housing. (aka chunk) The supra g code LSD wont fit into the common 4cyl 4wd differential housing. (problem I have now). Now if you keep your F code (which would be fine!), find a Celica supra rear end. Pre 86 ones. they have 4.10-4.30 R&Ps and LSDs. They all bolt into your F code housing. Go whip up on some hondas. I tore the azz out of my buddies B16 swapped EG hatch years ago when I had a basic hybrid. Torque wins over peak HP any day. Oh and buy good sticky drag radials if your serious.
just weld the spider gears,,good welds,,,and it will do,,done back home on off roading toyotas and drag trucks,works just fine.
oh and get a 282 cam, dont be a puss and put a 272 cam... valves wont hit or bottom out or any of that shiznit... unless you mill your head ohhh .050" or so... lol... then you'd have to notch those PISTONS!....
as a matter of fact, i got a cam from th jy... got a deal on it, it has higher duration and lift if im not mistaken, dont know the specs because i couldnt find info over it.. anyways, i know the duration is longer because compared to a stocker, it's about twice the size... i can do $40 shipped dude... then you can tell me how the cam works out
Nawww if i was going to go boosted i would swap in a 7mgte or a jz motor lol my stock 22r used to trash on some hondas when i used to have no exausht system just the down pipes lol
