Well, I plan on purchasing a GL (the cool ones with adjustable suspension, and Dual Range transfer cases..) then popping in an EJ22 2.2 Liter motor. I'd like to figure out how I can get a MLS head gasket for it before I start driving. . . I just love the little wagons. I mainly love the Japanese...

I have a N/A 7MGE in my 4Runner. It does have lots of low-end torque that I enjoy. Plenty compared to a 22RE. 33" tires and 4.56 gears. My friend has a 7MGTE in his, and he has destroyed gears just by letting off the clutch. I had some difficulty in Moab a few weeks ago with it getting a little...

Currently, I'm using my '86 4Runner as a DD. It has a 1990 7MGE inside it. Running 33" tires with 4.56 gears. Been all the way up to Revelstoke, BC, Canada. Then all the way down to the Desert Southwest. Right now she's parked while I attempt to adjust the valves. Now, I'm back to driving my...

Thanks! I sat for a good hour and found the valve adjustment page. I think that I'm going to hit some junk yards here and pull shims from some cars... Camry(86-91), Celica(83-93), Cressida(88-93), Corolla(83-99), MR2(84-91) or Tercel (94-99)... I'm pretty sure that I have one of two 7m's in my...

Thanks. If injectors are dirty, will they make any noise?

I have the lovely duty of adjusting my valves. Is it true that I can use shims from a Yamaha or Honda? I had heard a rumor, but I can't find an exact answer. I'm on kind of a tight budget, and dealer prices are a bit steep. Also, since I have this all opened up I assume that I should check my...

Hey all, I've been driving my (1990) 7MGE '86 4Runner around North America. The power gain from the 22RE is efficient. I've ran into a few problems that I'd like to know if they're related or not. . The wires fell off of the connector for my Cold Start Injector. Now, when I first...

Is the ISC valve the same as the IAC valve? If not, where will I find it? Thanks, Greg

Hi everyone, My 7MGE-into-4Runner swap is about 99% complete. I've had the pleasure of driving it around for the past week. My current problem is the Idle. At first it was extremely high. We figured out that it was the Idle Air Control Valve (IACV). After replacing the IACV, Cleaning the...

Thanks for the help Everyone! I ended up using a piece of 2.5" ID exhaust pipe and some couplers. Looks very clean. Again, Thank you!

Hi, I'm trying to finish up my 7M swap into my 1986 4Runner, and the computer is throwing Code 27. The FSM says that this is the Sub-O2 sensor. . . I didn't have a donor car, only the motor/ecu when doing this project, so I didn't get to see the exhaust. I'm assuming that either/or/both...

I'm doing a 7MGE swap into my 1986 4Runner. I'm coming to the end of my nightmare, but I still have one hang-up. I'm not putting the MAFS in the stock position. I am routing it straight off of my throttle body on to my passenger-side fender wall. . My only problem is connecting the two. Since...

I don't. I have a "photobucket"... I'll see if I have anything to post. .

I will be using the stock W56 transmission that came in the 4Runner. The only thing different is the Supra W58 bellhousing is needed. You will also need a W58 clutch assy, slave cylinder, clutch fork, and TO bearing. I believe that my stock fuel pump will be adequate. I have seen a few swaps...

If you have a car, I'd say do it. It'd be cool. But, if you don't it'll be pretty expensive and time consuming. I mean, the only "rare" find without a complete car, is the 5MGE motor mounts. But those are actually easy to find. I'm using a 3.0L radiator, with (qty)two 9" electric pusher fans. I...

Thanks for the good-wishes. A turbo would be cool, but my budget is ridiculously off. Plus, those 7MGTE swaps normally bust a crap-ton of drivetrain parts. They're so powerful!

Hi all, First I'd like to say that everyone on this forum has been a great help! I'm currently puting a ~'89 7MGE into my 1986 4Runner. I started off by swapping out my front IFS for a solid axle swap (SAS). The Front 4.88 gearing Mechanical locker Solid axle swap...

Thanks for the info! I've run into the problem of this project going WAY over budget. . That's also my concern with going for headers. I'd love to see what the stock manifold does. . I have heard 2" and 2 1/4" before, but I wasn't certain. I think you gave me some great insight. I'm curious if I...

I'm currently swapping a 7MGE into my 1986 4Runner. I know that I'm going to need to fabricate my exhaust system, being that the exhaust manifold on the 7MGE and 22RE are on opposite sides of the motors. . . I currently live in South Dakota where there are zero emission standards. EVERYONE uses...
