22r carb rebuild?

I rebuilt my first carb with an experienced friend holding my hand. Make sure to use a large clean table with barriers set up so small parts can't escape.

There are LOTS of small parts. Set up a pan to soak parts in carb cleaner.

I have since done 2 carb rebuilds for 22RE's on my own.

Tricky, complicated, but not impossible. Get a good manual to follow.

You say that you have done 2 carb rebuilds on 22RE's??? I thought that

22RE's are fuel injected. Please correct me if I'm wrong. jm

I'd make sure it's not something else before tearing into the carb, other than checking float level and making sure the choke is working properly.

Technically there is no such engine as a 22RE. There is a 22R made from '79 to '84, and the 22REC made from '85 to '95.

Generally the 22R was carbureted only, with rare exceptions. The 22REC can be either Carbureted or Fuel-injected.

Toyota refers to even the later 22REC engine as a 22R if it is carbureted or a 22RE if it was Fuel-injected.

This has lead to some confusion about engine types.

I was referring to 22REC engines that are carbureted.

Sorry for the confusion.

22R = Carbureted Engine 22RE = Electronic Fuel Injection 22REC = Electronic Fuel Injection and Turbocharged

Hope this helps clear up the confusion.

NO, the 22RTEC is turbo charged. The 22REC can be Carbed or injected.

Oops, my mistake. That should be 22RET = Electronic Fuel Injection and Turbocharged

There is no such designation as 22REC.

The '87 I owned was a 22R and was carbureted. According to my dealer it would have been a 22RE if it had been made with the F.I. option or the

22RTE if it was a Turbo'd 22RE. There were no carbureted 22RE's as the RE meant fuel injection.

A good timeline for Toyota PU's is here:

Thanks for the link. That's an interesting read.

22RE = 22REC = EFI

22R = carb

22RTE (or RET) = turbo EFI

If you decide to rebuild yourself, expect to pay $50+ for a decent kit. If they do not ask for the number off of the metal tag on the carb, go elsewhere, they are selling generic kits.
