Thats a 3S-FE engine. There a few 3S-GTE RAV4's out there. Can't find any pics of it though.

The FWD M/T Rav4 has an E153 attached to the late 3s-fe... Little known fact.

Interesting idea, it seems like the center of gravity would be to high for a good rally
vehicle. For just off roading I would prefer the torque of the 5s. -------------------- JDM guy made me do it.

would be kinda cool, but I have always hated the looks of the early rav4's, very useless as an suv, on the other hand I have always liked the early crv's and have seen a few with b18's etc.

I have a video some where on my old comp of a 4wd 3SGTE powered Rav 4 2door hardtop thats running a 4thgen 3S in it thats pushing like 400 and change HP. The thing launches like a taller version of Tufy's car. |

i gotta figure out what comp its on. Its on either my old tower that i have to get cleaned up or on my old laptop that has issues charging/staying on. Ill take a look around though. It was some dudes in Russia who did the swap.
EDIT: i did a quick google search and found this guy who lives in "Mauritius"? who has a flat black 2nd gen 3S powered rav4. Link to his CarDomain page theres also a video on his first page of him racing it. This post has been edited by Valo666: Aug 14, 2007 - 10:17 PM |
