This is what I got. What else do I need. My RAV4 has the reliable 3SFE engine, 5speed.

My question is: What else do I need to get it working?

Welcome man. Always nice to see people doing different projects. Look at the link below for the missing pieces.

The "SEARCH" function is very helpful.

Re: Toyota 3SFe Engine
 

dude thats awsome, but 2 questions. what do you plan on doing with the extra 2 injectors? seconday fuel to compensate for boost? and what kinda engine management

Re: Toyota 3SFe Engine
 

The 2 injectors I'll keep just in case anything goes wrong with another one. I'm planning to buy the Greddy E-manager. With larger fuel injectors I don't think I'll need an extra injector, but you never know. What do you guys think.

Re: Toyota 3SFe Engine
 

That's pretty cool. Charge piping?

Re: Toyota 3SFe Engine
 

order up a 3s-gte mr2 rear clip, then, swap engine,tranny and ecu in that beast

Re: Toyota 3SFe Engine
 

I was thinking of that but I know this guy in Australia [Andrew] He did the same thing. After weeks of installation and gobs of money. When he started to use the engine he discovered that the block had a crack. Here is the link with many photos. http://www.compact4wd.com/rav4oz/for...sp?TOPIC_ID=15
His RAV4 is one of the best looking RAV4 in the world. But doing this, with surprises like these, will take a lot of time money and effort. This is my everyday vehicle. I'm studying in the university and I'm a school teacher. I just want the basics. Nothing fancy, just simple bolt on power .

Re: Toyota 3SFe Engine
 

The 3SGTE is a really good engine... but I don't like how EVERYBODY does it!

I thnk you've got a good setup going. You'll obviously need some chargepiping, but as for engine managment, there's only one thing I can say: SMT6

Re: Toyota 3SFe Engine
 

I've already researched SMT6. To tell you the truth I just heard horror stories. Once they sell you their product, your on your own. Never the less, they do have a Turbo RAV4 project, but it's an A/T one. In my case, My RAV4 is a 5 Speed. :-\

Re: Toyota 3SFe Engine
 

Greddy emanage should work fine.Looks like you have a pretty cool little project.I guess some charge pipes,silicone couplers and a boost guage.I seen a Rav4 a few years ago in a magazine and it was pretty quick with a turbo kit.
