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 .

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.
