180hp NA isn't terribly difficult. These engines had a place in circle track, so much that Holley made a spreadbore intake for these. No fabricated intakes allowed. Granted, below 9K RPM is the realm we're talking. My 6.0 LS was 402 HP and crapped out before 180,000 miles. But my R Toyotas went 400,000+ before anything serious needed looking into. It's the torque, in a small package that goes decades which gives these engines value for me.
You were not lying, that is a beautiful engine! There's nothing quite like assembling an R series engine on a stand. I did my 22re a few years ago and it was so much more enjoyable than wrenching in the engine bay. Super satisfying to slap it all together like Lego bricks.
I wish you'd consider building another 22r like this one, putting it in a crate and shipping it to me. Not bluffing. Not in a rush. Very patient and willing to make a very fair deal for you sir.
Oh my gosh..what an incredible build! Beautiful! The rocker arms segment took me back to about a year ago. Had a new cylinder head put on my '88 22R. A short time later a light tapping occured. The head had been replaced after a valve snapped right at the keeper and dropped just enough to gouge the piston. Nearly 200,000 on the engine..mechanic puts on a new head..with the original r. arms! Down the road, the new cam dislodges one of the wear pads on the old rocker. Thus the tap! Back to the shop!
Man i just don't get why you don't have a million or more subscriber, you are a true artist in what you do. I really hope one day you get there you deserve it.
I Just found & bought a 1985 Toyota Hilux a few weeks ago with 223,000 miles on it, to use as my daily driver. Not realizing how famous this engine is. I can only dream of being able to do something like that to this engine one day. Awesome built. Cool video.
Nice work, on a fresh rebuild with that style of oil pump, I like to pack vaseline in and around the oil pump gears to help create instant oil pick up upon engine crank to prime, Just a trick I learned years ago.
Yogi from Australia here, Love the vids mate... own a 2011 79 series land cruiser single cab, but also own a 1995 rn110r extra cab hilux which had the 22R in it, blew that motor up 3 times... (LOL)..... It now has a Holden L36 ecotec V6 in it, but recently picked up a Holden L67 Supercharged V6 that I will be putting in it soon, I'm not sure how things work in the US but here in Aus we need to do Engineering checks on engine conversions if your upgrading to bigger engines to drive on the road ( Oh the fun lol )... Loved the big red build from 2 years ago, I find myself re-watching that from time to time for inspiration....
Austin I love your attention to details. With work and family I never seem to get everything as perfect as your builds. I just finished a year and half build on my 1979 K30 and I'm never quite satisfied.
Awesome engine men !! So clean, I just put my hands on a 86 Toyota Tercel (3A Engine) and I look forward to follow your steps and give some love to my engine
Dude. Pure 22R Pr0n !! I love it. My first 22R was also carbuerated, but I'm in Kalifornia, so it was handicapped by smog regs as is my current 22RE (1994 pickup) ... but it's something I know I can keep running for so much less than the cost of new. Now getting ready to move out of The People's Republic, and really looking forward to re-doing it as a Smog Free motor.
You may not have lived during it, but the smog in California cities was atrocious. Smog and acid rain were problems that governments needed to address. I'm fairly certain that the Chinese cities you are comparing to have not fixed this problem and the citizens are just breathing it.
Sweet!!! I have 87 gen one 4 runner with a r22 with a single Webber ... With 363k on it and running strong !!! But fixing to rebuild A new motor for the old gal ... And give her 2 Webber's !!!
OMG Austin's toy chest makes me jealous 🤣 so many cool trucks, I wanna get another 'yota to play around with. That engine is stunning and I can't wait to see it running and see how it drifts...
easy problem fix for the gasket is take it to a gasket maker, they can just recut a new one larger You can also go to a sticker cutter, or sign writer and just bring them a paper gasket to cut Costas a bit more but gives a lot of peace of mind Also reccomend on paper gaskets is to coat with oil before you seal, not saturate it, but a quick light coat, means that if you need to go back in again you probably won't tear the gasket, I know you should always replace a gasket, but it has sure saved me on 50+ year old bikes that you can't just get a new gasket in a day or so
Did you ever have a problem blowing head gaskets on your Toyota 22R? I had my engine rebuilt twice because the head gaskets kept blowing out. Goto L.C. ENGINERING for gaskets and performance parts. They sell stroker kits with 94 m.m. pistons. They have 94 m.m. head gaskets.
My second truck was an 85 pickup with the 22r. still in the back yard but frame and body are completely gone. only 200kms on the motor. Some day I hope to get to do a rebuild and toss it into something. Samuri perhaps? if i could find one.
Saludos desde Los Cabos, viendo estos videos me anima a arreglar mi Toyota Hilux 1986 4WD, no se nada de esto y gracias a estos videos, cada vez más entiendo esto el mundo de los motores. No puedo esperar a terminar de ver estos proyectos
GDaymate just watched your build of the 22R, could you tell me what the type of paint or coating was used for all valve cover, water pump etc.. ? Thanks
Only a true Toyota enthusiast would spend this much time on a engine that makes mid 100 H.P. love it
Well said.
100hp in the right car is a blast. My 22r is in a 800lb sandrail
180hp NA isn't terribly difficult. These engines had a place in circle track, so much that Holley made a spreadbore intake for these. No fabricated intakes allowed. Granted, below 9K RPM is the realm we're talking. My 6.0 LS was 402 HP and crapped out before 180,000 miles. But my R Toyotas went 400,000+ before anything serious needed looking into.

This channel is easily on the top of TH-cam in this category. Top quality builds and top quality videos.
Thank you!!!
@@austinniemela how much do you think the whole built was?
You can always get a roll of gasket paper and make your own gaskets. The rolls come in cork and paper
That engine is a work of art. The black, silver, and gold with red accents works so well.
One of my favorite engines of all time 22r/e, 4age, 3tc, and 2jz. I am a 16 year Master Ferrari technician.

The color of that valve cover is amazing

Austin never disappoints with his work!
At 12:07-12:10, why not grind off all that casting flash inside the runners?
My guess is that it’s only air going through, I noticed the same thing tho🤔
Color combo is out of this world bro
Lc engineering has the Teflon gaskets like I'm running on my 22R
Aaaaah, my Toyota fix for the week - you're a legend!
Oh my gosh..what an incredible build! Beautiful!

Thank you! I hope so too!!
Gorgeous 22R bro
Great job bro, don’t forget to seal the upper oil pump bolt too!!!
Ah yeah I forgot about that bolt too!! Thanks!
cant wait to hear the sound
That engine is sick, love the valve cover color and the rest..you really amaze me how meticulously you work..
Thank you very much!
The Toyota oil filter pushed me over the edge. You are the GOAT.
I had my 22re rebuilt at 200k runs better than ever....strong reliability 🤟

I pride myself on solid internals, no shortcuts and a killer looking engine dress. I tip my cap sir, great job!
I admire you a lot and your job is clean. Keep it up. You have a great mindset in cars, and God willing, you will reach a million followers
Thank you so much 👍
Austin I love your attention to details. With work and family I never seem to get everything as perfect as your builds. I just finished a year and half build on my 1979 K30 and I'm never quite satisfied.
Use a 3/4 copper pipe seal the ends install below intake so can not be seen and you will have a vaccum chamber
that engine looks amazing
Almost there! That motor does look good
It's nice when you have all the right equipment and tools to get the job done.
Killer work! That distributor though it's almost bigger than the entire motor.
awesome build, i really wanna do a 20/22r hybrid build with dual webers in an old celica GT
So clean! You always seem to out do yourself. The level you apply, to what I see is hands down some of the best. Keep it going
That matte is in great taste. Looks great!
Great work Austin
Engine looks awesome man!
Thanks!!
That header looks sweet
The red Sets off the valve cover very nice whis there was accessories like that for the 5vz and a few other yota engines
Much love from Burundi 🇧🇮
thanks for telling me about that bolt in the timing cover.... i have a leak there and i didnt use sealant
Brilliant work
Your work has been so wonderful. Greetings from Finland
That engine looks bad ass! Great Job!
Most beautiful 22r. Good choice of colors
What distributor is that?
Awesome engine men !! So clean, I just put my hands on a 86 Toyota Tercel (3A Engine) and I look forward to follow your steps and give some love to my engine

Such a grow on the tube Austin .... great work on the build lets go OG subs
Can’t wait to see it all finished
It is a treat to watch you work. Nice video
Sweet!!! I have 87 gen one 4 runner with a r22 with a single Webber ... With 363k on it and running strong !!! But fixing to rebuild A new motor for the old gal ... And give her 2 Webber's !!!

Looks sick mate, well done
great work from other planet!!!!!!!!!congrats
Awesome video entertaining to watch definitely a Master Toyota Restoration.
Engine looks tight.😎
Love the look of the engine so sweet can’t wait to hear her run
That motor is amazing. Nice work.
Engine turned out stunning!
Thanks!

Easily the cleanest 22R I've seen 👍
My boy ain’t capping this thang is mint
This engine is a work of art awesome mate

Awesome job! I've built a butt load of those motor combos. From trucks to race cars.👍
That engine is a work of art!
It is looking good my brother
Nice work that engine looks amazing👍
Wow. That’s gorgeous!
That is pretty. Love the bronze.
Greatings from Portugal 👍
Too keen for the next video haha wish you would upload every day
Yeah that would be nice but I can’t paint, build and film a engine build in 1 day haha
My second truck was an 85 pickup with the 22r. still in the back yard but frame and body are completely gone. only 200kms on the motor. Some day I hope to get to do a rebuild and toss it into something. Samuri perhaps? if i could find one.

So frickin minty,that color combo is fire
That engine is art. Almost to good looking to use.
Dude that looks awesome… please pack the oil pump with something if you don’t some of these viewers heads will explode 🤯
Might be ready for Sema in November 🔥
I have never built an engine and am still learning more and more about them. What is the purpose of the little filters at the top of the valve cover?
Breather filter.
This has to be one of the nicest colour combinations for an engine. Love it! (Gonna do my old school mitsu😉)
Thanks! I am digging the colors as well!
@@austinniemela that’s satin bronze is too cool 👌
why is the distributor so long?
Very nice, but I would have cleaned the casting flaw inside the intake runners
beautiful build, you do amazing work.
That is such a clean engine!
Great Video Brotha.
GDaymate just watched your build of the 22R, could you tell me what the type of paint or coating was used for all valve cover, water pump etc.. ? Thanks
I tried doing the same when I was building a 22R 😂 didn’t rtv head gasket
Nice work bro
What paint did you use for the gold/bronze color? That almost matches the wheels on my truck
That is art😮 looks amazing
Looks f***ing amazing homie👌🏽
Awesome job!😎
Best looking 22R no debate! 🎉
OH sweat Mary that looks great!
Neat.😎 I hope this guy someday makes a 1 ton truck build.
Beautiful piece of art! 👌
Looks incredible!
Thank you!
Beautiful ❤I wish I can do this to my 1980 toyota pickup Sr5 with the 20R, do you think is possible??
Hey mate, that spark plug lead support, where did you find that? Great videos BTW
Looks great! Nice job
