22RE-20R Intake Adapter

22RE-20R Intake Adapter

Posted on 04. Oct, 2009 by xrr in Extreme Products

At Extreme Roc Rigs Off-Road we pride ourselves on meeting customer’s needs. We do so by designing and building custom parts that are not available anywhere else on the market. Recently a customer approached us about designing an adapter plate to adapt a 22RE intake to either a 20R or 22R head. We have a design and need some volunteers to help us test and give feed back. The adapter plate is made from ¾” billet aluminum and is CNC machined. The end product will be shaped in such a way that it follows the contour of the intake and head. If you’re interested in this concept and are willing to try one please contact us at sales@extremerocrigs.com.

PRODUCT UPDATE – APRIL 19, 2010

We have had interest in this product; however the interest has been for a low cost solution with only a few interested individuals.   As of today we have decided to place our primary focus on other products.  We have decided to do this for a couple of reasons:  First, our current capabilities require us to have this part manufactured out of house.  Having to include an outside manufacturer has increased the price to a point we feel it is not marketable.  Secondly, during the fitting of the prototype, we discovered a necessary design revision.  The main water port on the 20R head is not able to receive sufficient coolant because how the 22RE intake is made.  We have a solution to this problem, however, the revision to the design changed not only manufacturing costs but we have not had sufficient time to be certain that the adapter plate is a dependable solution.  This adapter plate has become a project one of our engineers is determined to complete.  Should we determine that the plate is dependable and either have an increase in interest or locate another manufacturing option, we will once again pursue this project.

    It is a common thing for the off road enthusiast to build his toyota 4×4 with a 22re motor and but a 20R head on for higher compression, but then you are stuck with having to use a carb. I think this adapter plate would open up a whole new market for people that have highly modified 22R or 22RE blocks with 20R heads that want to run fuel injection.

    good on you guys for seeing that and making it easier for this conversion to happen!

    I started talking to my brother about doing this several years ago when I first put a 20r head on my 22r block. We would have done it long ago but he moved too far away to do the appropriate test fitting, trial runs, etc. If you guys get enough interest to consider doing this again, just drop me a line and I’ll gladly be a test mule!
