Not like the motor?
High compression and boost

i have a buddy who builds land speed volks rods. The engine he is putting in his current project is a 22r but it has a intake for a 4 barrel holley, port and polished and running 13:1 compression. when he gets it in ill let you know how fast and powerful it is
I'm a bit shocked at the list price considering there are no forged parts. It'll still work for low boost though.

5psi is nothing for just about any motor, even if you wanted to run higher compression. Are you running speed-density, AFM, or a mass-air setup? I have several Garrett and MHI turbos on the shelf and some intercoolers that may interest you. I even have a set of 290cc injectors that may be of use, but a 330cc may be closer to the size you need, just have to make sure the stock ecu can idle them. Let me know if I can help, been doing the turbo thing for about 14 years.

at any rate: turbos+intercoolers+propane = motor that should live on high compression. Plenty to read up online about the particulars.

Could you be anymore vague with your blanket statement there jack? Are you implying that the propane is going to assist the stock injectors? Is it going to be run off an rpm switch or MAP based? Not the best way to do it, but each to their own I suppose.

I haven't seen a lot of carb'ed motors with injectors or MAP sensors.
Reading really does help.

I'm trying to see/read where in the thread that the OP directly states that he is using a carb'd setup....hmmm??

Not for nothing, but... first post says...
If you want to assume that he's not running a carb, that's prescient of you but not necessarily contextually supported.
Besides, I'm trying to encourage intercoolers and turbos, both things you could help with regardless of the method of fuel delivery.

Hmmm, I see, sorry if my basic knowledge of Toyota's failed to decipher the verbiage of 22r vs 22re....

Like I said, READ. Re-read the very first post in this thread where the important information is usually laid out. Pay specific attention to the last sentence where he says it will be running on propane. Reading comprehension is a valuable asset in life, especially if you're going to chime in & offer your 14 years of valuable turbo experience to a tech thread.
That clear enough for you, or do I need to break it all down & provide a drawing with crayons?
I don't know much about propane metering systems or how you tune them, but if you're running it entirely off of propane which has an octane rating of 110, and also using an intercooler, then you could probably run boost in the low teens w/o detonation. 9.7:1 should hardly be an issue, and isn't really "high compression".

ID like to see the crayon drawings please
You know, he could be running a 22r set up on a liquid propane efi system... Then maybe he could use the bigger injectors.

My buddy is running a turbo on a high compression 22R, carbed, non propaned, on his desert car. Im not sure of the elevation in Mesquiet Nevada helped it much, it is cool but alot of work and $$ for 5lb of boost, and its always running hot.
Im sure i would do it just for the cool factor.
is a turbo on a gas motor a good application for a crawler?
This is a great thread i am looking forward to seeing how this works so you turbo guys keep the tech comming.
