toss the automatic in the trash and put in a manual. there is very little support for the automatic and you would likely end up sinking lots of money into it, just for it to blow up again. If you get your hands on a 2tr bellhousing you can run a R series transmission that should have no problem handling turbo power.
I’ve actually been on the lookout for a reasonably priced r series, they are not easy to find for cheap! I unfortunately think I’m going to end up manual swapping the automatic swap, but have a good auto to go in I might just throw in just to get it back on the road!
I know a manual is more common for the turbo 2RZ/3RZ platform. But I’ve seen plenty of people have success with upgrading the pressure solenoid and adding a trans cooler. I’ve been researching for quite some time and that’s likely the route I’m going. You can brake boost and the auto keeps the turbo spooled between shifts too.
R155 trans will bolt up, run a 3rz clutch since its a larger diameter disc and flywheel. R155 is the strongest 5 speed toyota has made yet. 2005-2015 tacomas. Its what i run.
I’ve been looking for one local or at a junk yard wiring a reasonable drive and they seem to be hard to find, I would definitely like to run an R series transmission.
Look in the Phoenix,Az market as well I drove down to Albuquerque to visit family so I can bring it down to you. It should fit in the back seat of a 2002 Buick Lesabre.
it really depends on what you're doing with the truck. an automatic would better for long term drivability but a manual would give you more range and torque control especially if your doing a slow crawl and pulling stuff. but a good automatic can also do that if it can handle the power, ya could use a adapter plate and get a automatic that's somewhat compatible there has to be something that's compatible with the 1999 toyota tacoma drive line, i find it hard to believe that there isn't something that will fit. ya just got to look even if its from a different automaker. i feel like the 2RZ has more then one style of automatic.
There are multiple styles most of which are better than what I have, but the auto that's in the truck now has no electronics, and no torque converter lockup. All the other automatics that mate up and hold power better require a TCM or standalone transmission controller, which ends up making it a manual shifted automatic, or requires an entire wiring harness swap again, which doesn't make sense to me right now. And I feel that takes away from the idea of a simple street truck. I'm probably going to manual swap it and also move the engine back because I moved it pretty far forward when I initially did the swap, because of the automatic transmission and not wanting to make a new crossmember, but a manual will allow the proper placement of the engine, and allow more power to the wheels.
I've got a 1989 with a 22re 5spd, I have future plans to put at turbo on the 22re. How hard was it to fit one onto your 2rz? also did you have to do any tuning to the computer to make that change or did you just run the piping and oil fittings and send it?
I just put the turbo on and a fuel pressure regulator, so I can turn the fuel up just a little, but still the stock ECU. Full send on this one, still an unopened engine with 300k miles. I’ve built 22re turbos before and from my experience I would hold out till you can get a 2/3rz swap, it’s similar or more power than a turbo 22re without a turbo and they respond quite nice to boost. Just a lot more tech in the RZ engines vs the RE engines.
It's a brand new 22re Reman with less than 4k miles on it. I wish I had the income to toss it and do another swap but I'm stuck with the 22re for the next 200k miles as is lol. If you've got any history on a 22re turbo job what size turbo would you recommend? @@redlineranch.
@@kernal9093 something pretty small, want to be in the boost pretty early for good drivability, the setup I worked on had the LCE kit with the Garrett turbo. Just make sure you have good fuel supply and proper air fuel ratios, that’s one of the biggest thing with adding boost, need to match fuel.

I think my Tacoma has a w59 behind it. The clutch slips at 50 mph with 16 psi boost. 5 speed holds up though
@@mopedman666 are you 2wd or 4wd?
R150 swap it !!
I like the idea of a healthy automatic trans...... but I vote for a manual swap.
I also enjoy the idea of a nice auto street truck, but I feel that it’s going to be hard to find one to hold any power.
0:39 coming into this fresh- really like the very quick recap of where you are in the build. Also, Hell Yea!
Manual!

Manual swap💯
looking like the only cheap solution
Definitely a r150, cool truck. I’ve got a gen 5 pickup hoping to swap a 2jz in but 2rz would be a cool cheaper alternative.
Agreed! The r series transmissions are stout!
2js are rad I just have a soft spot for the 4 bangers
I love how we talk about our cars like they're alive "it didnt like it up there, but it likes it down here"
Right! We give them personalities and personas, and want to treat them good 😂
@@redlineranch. 💯 love it!

Noted! I appreciate that!
Random question, what's that make and model of tool chest at 1:24? I love that it has so many drawers.
Manual SR5 (sport Racing 5 speed ) transmission for sure they are bulletproof
put a w series in it, w59 comes with the bellhousing for 2rz
Either. W59 or w55 (what came in the 22re trucks)

but a good automatic can also do that if it can handle the power, ya could use a adapter plate and get a automatic that's somewhat compatible
there has to be something that's compatible with the 1999 toyota tacoma drive line, i find it hard to believe that there isn't something that will fit.
ya just got to look even if its from a different automaker.

I would have kept the manual cuz you have a lot more options on the clutch
Yeah, it’s definitely looking like that’s going to be the long term solution, been on the lookout for an r series transmission for a reasonable price.
I think that’s gonna be an issue becaus they sell them for ridiculess prices
@@garagevanalleswatofficial2241 I’m hoping patience will prevail and something will come up
Where did you get the Maf sensor mount thing? Aluminum? Part number?
It’s a factory housing cut up and welded into a 21/2” charge pipe
Roast the tires 😂 jk looking mint!
It spins em better than you’d expect!
Better automatic transmission imo for the type of build you are going for
I have mixed feeling but also agree
You’ll have more fun with a manual transmission, so… yes, please.
I think so too!
Did you fix it?
Can you help me I’m trying to boost my 2rz.
What turbo did you go with? I am looking to turbo my 2rz
Just an eBay special, I forgot which it was the cheapest at the time
Im surprised its an automatic 😱
Not anymore! I’ve got a whole video on manual transmission swapping it, and putting it back on the dyno to make even more power!
My vote is go back to manual trans, best way to drive a truck❤😊
Probably what’s going to end up happening
Manual!
Your filming was terrible, bad camera Angles and so much was cut out of the view. You need wider and cleaner shots of what you are doing.
