    I wouldn't bother building a 22R. Pointless and waste of money. If you're keeping the corona for a while just turbo it or chuck a beams in haha

    They do a lot with them in the US and they get a dicktonne of power out of them, I plan on keeping it until I bin it over and over til it's undriveable. Beams would be Ideal though!

    Pulled the windscreen out and fixed the rust, did front brakes and brake lines,adjusted front wheel bearings and threw a new battery in.
    Picking up a complete sedan tomorrow. I'll use the motor from that and part the rest, and I'll build another 22re, I should be able to get 200-250hp out of one and stay N/A, will still be cheaper than a beams or antithetical conversion, I'll be chasing a ra60 T-series and tailshaft to go 86 2-way. Engine will be in tomorrow and should be running Sunday/Monday, windscreen will be in Monday, rwc and rego hopefully on Tuesday/Wednesday.

    Very keen to see how slow it's going to be.

    I highly doubt an N/A 22R will see 250hp....... Even if it's possible in some parallel universe, a beams conversion would be cheaper then making a boat anchor handle that much power

    I dunno man, I had a look around, 250 seems fairly hopeful but 200 seems do able, if people can get 100hp out of a 4k I think anythings possible haha, beams will cost a dickonne to get completed and running.

    And 22r's are pretty strong once you solve the headgasket and timing chain issues

    Just turbo the 22r or go beams.

    You would be lucky to get reliable 200hp for spending thousands. A beams makes this stock.

    You may need to buy some gravity boots to bring you back down to earth.

    I'm not saying 250hp n/a from a 22RE isn't POSSIBLE, but it's sure not going to be easy. Shitty cylinder head design - both the ports and combustion chamber, long stroke giving a low RPM ceiling - both work heavily against it in terms of making naturally aspirated power. Maybe with a no-expense-spared, big compression bottom end, a hundred or so hours with that head on the flow bench coupled with a camshaft blessed by some kind of witch doctor - not to mention either some sweet sweet injection bodies or carburetors tuned by jesus - only then will you have a motor capable of producing that kind of power, with the most horrible power delivery you've ever encountered.

    Three words:

    Tsu tu tu.

    But the hayashis are nice.
    You can have any brew you want... as long as it's a Datsun / Corolla / What is that?
