what computer can i use to run an 18rg? other than an 18rgeu comp.

[70wagon]

hey all
im looking in to going injection and turbo on my 18rg and no that its going to be to har to find actuall 18rgeu stuff so i have the following questions:
can i use a 22re computer and are they remapable?
would it be posible to use most of a 22re loom?
what else could i use to convert to injection from a 22re or 4age?
plemum?
throtle body?
all with modifications of course

any help appreciated

The answer to all of these is yes - but.

I am unsure whether the 22RE inlet manifold fits, but i doubt it does. Measure it up and compare, but you'd probably be better off having something made up.

I suggest going aftermarket management, there is NO point in using the 22RE computer.

Basically i am suggesting a full custom job. Even if you used all 22RE gear, it would still be slower than your twincarb 18R-G, as nothing would be set up right for it. Oh, it'd redline at 6.5k or thereabouts too.

Pm me if you with to discuss it further.

it will be so much more expensive and a headfuck than a 4agte ca18 or sr20 and if u get it going it will be blowing up left right and centre in teh first instance do it right and put a different engine in!!

i 2nd that /\/\/\/\

i cant see many gains only restrictions from using a 22re ecu or motor for that matter

i saw a 22re engin on ebay last night for i think around 100 bucks manifold and all check it out

well the reason i would consider this is beacuase i can get 22re and 18r shit cheap or free. and im a first yr apprentice so cant afford to much unlike u eddie.

and i already have the 18rg

I think even doing a 3SG conversion would be easier.

yeha but have u added up how much it will all cost? heres a rough list
plenum 200-i dunno 600
injector upgrade 200 at leas
ecu probably have to use a microtech or haltech 1000-2000
turbo manifold 500 at least
turbo+oil and water lines 500 if u use a t25
exhaust however much
bosch fuel pump 200

all the bits i forgot $1000

that adds up to 3900????

turbo- already have an rb20 with lines
clutch 350
have a w55 box
exhaust free from work
turbo manifold i am making
plenum i will most probly make
i have the throttle body
flanges $20
so all i will need is a fuel pump $200
and the computer ??

i no u say that because u have been there
but i am earning 250 a week and cant exactly afford 3g's for an sr20

thats why im considering doing this.


thanks

megasquirt ecu!

compatible with anything, and if its not, you can make something that is

requires you to read ALOT, and perfectly understand the efi system. if your prepared to do that its an excelent system.

if your going to be DIY'ing somethign together, there is no point in spending 1000's on ecu's and tuning. you want it cheap and easy to fix. megasquirt is the way to go.
