please Marty let Moog test this pos I value you a lot more than him
Camera work and editing was noticeably better in this episode. 👍
Gentlemen, you have struck the good bell, but you are pulling the wrong strings. This engine is great when it comes to lightness, maybe toyota had a mishap with bad rings on the cylinders in 2006 because of which the engine took oil, but they fixed it and it is a solid construction. It's not about you doing projects like toyota chr faster with this engine than lambo avantador or scion tc chr rado. However, as you say yourself, there are a lot of these engines, there are just as many tuning parts as the exhaust manifold, intake manifold, you can also see the porting of the head, stroker, intake, sharp shafts... It's nice that you do a turbo, but it's another turbo, it's better to increase the engine power mechanically and test before and after each shift to check the real potential of the engine than to artificially increase the engine power by the turbo. And also, at the beginning, what to do to make the engine regain the power it once had.
The first time I order anything from your site and I ordered a week ago, too early 🥲
There’s a lot of mechanics nowadays. I don’t know how to figure out things are even modify things. They are just parts places so I think it’s cool that you can modify the fuel pump.
Idk how you keep doing it but your content is heaps and bounds above the rest. It's always unique and the heart and character of Marty and Moog shine through
We like cars and like making videos, always have, will do it for a while yet!
@@mightycarmodsplease do it until you guys are old and grey like the wee skits you guys do!
Second that mate. These lads keep it super relative! Not to mention they're TH-cam double OGs who have had the key from the start when most others were still in nappies and they've still got it now. How's that for longevity 😎
The fact they don’t make every video awkwardly long to accommodate is a huge plus for me. Several other channels I watch & I’m sure plenty others who are here too are getting far too into making long form videos & the ad breaks get almost unbearable & a lot of the content in the video is just filler (or sometimes entire videos)
as a Canadian I love the word Heaps :P
One Camry's bin is another Rav4's treasure
It's a Nissan Rav 34 GTR
one rav4s tip is another echo's nature reserve
Watching regular cars get performance mods is just as entertaining to me as watching performance cars (if not more). These type of projects are why i love mcm so much. Cant wait to see the rav4 getting thrashed and making whooosh noises
Here here!
My dad had a 1996 Rav4 "J" back in the day, manual 2 door. I ended up hitting a tree head on, spun 90 degrees and rolled several times in a paddock 😂 Young and dumb, BUT I swear what helped is the boxy shape as it rolled pretty well and landed wheels down. I ended up with no major injuries just a slightly sprained hand from the steering wheel jerk on collision
I'm not tall but my head brushes the roof of the average modern car, and I live in perpetual fear that in a roll over my neck would be the crumple zone.
Bring back boxy nuggets!
@@thejoetandy luckily I'm only 5ft9 🤣
@@b18crlxi definitely one of the lucky ones have had friends die in these and have driven one myself they belong in the bin.
Well that was dumb
I got a 96 red 2dr 5spd.
So True story. At work we had one of those "social team building" BS days where we all had to write a bunch of things on paper and then discuss.
One of the questions was "what is your dream car". I picked my boy hood dream pin up Viper GTS coupe. (An actually awful car to drive/own I've been told...).
There were the usual "Ferrari Scuderia" "Lambo Aventadoor" type things. but then 3 People all put "Toyota RAV4" The lady presenting was blown away, like WTF?.
It turns out a bunch of the Phillipino people in our team all LOVE that car, and all have totally achievable dreams of owning one. I have never been more humbled than seeing my friend say he had saved up enough money to actually buy one soon...
This story has no moral or whatever, but Godamn it hit hard when that happened, and really put life in perspective.
Nothing wrong with realistic goals. Heck toyota is pricey compared to other car brands
flippos out here chasing the dream. you love to see it. make your dreams something attainable and then just keep raising the bar
My RAV4 wasn't a dream car as such, but I've wanted one for years and got a 2005 XA20 like the one in the video, but the 4-door version. I didn't get it anywhere near as cheap either :)
Back in the early noughties a mate of mine in Newcastle had one of these, lifted it and chucked on some BFG all terrains. It was a weapon on Stockton beach. It was soul destroying being bogged on the side of a sand dune, in your real 4x4, while Gary cut doughnuts around you in his Rav.
What a Gary thing to do
Good old gazza in his rav😂
Hi lads, just a little big up message. I'm in France and goodies are very expensive to ship because of import fees, but I wanted to left you an uplifting message to thanks you a lot for all you are doing, and the way you are doing it. A small team of mates, a feeling of home made, not taking yourself too seriously and loads of crazy cool videos all year long (all yearS long). A big big thanks and take good care ! I'ts a pleausure every time
I'm in France too and I've ordered multiple times from their website, I don't remember the shipping prices where that awful, I do agree that was maybe 2-3 years ago.
No customs fees everytime I ordered 👌
The RAV4 Sport was the very end of run special of this chassis/model. The scoop bonnets were left overs from the diesel RAV4s that were sold OS that had top mount intercoolers.
I owned one for almost 10yrs. Awesome things. Cheap to run, bullet proof, and you can have some fun off-road with them.
Diesel rav4 really?????
@@jonathanwright5550Yep! Had the Hilux D4D engine. One of the best cars I've ever owned
@@BrettClement is that kun engine?
People are loving the Rav4 because it's different. Keep it interesting boys!
lovely bit of editing around the removal of the gearbox, chefs kiss!!
I own a 2003 crv. Its a k24a1 with a 5 speed, all wheel drive. It also has a gtx55, haltech elite 1500, billet viscous coupler, twin disc, i closed the decks myself, has some used billet rods with stock pistons i re ringed and added a bit more gap, locked the vtech actuator, did the fuel system up for e85 and i have an all wheel drive car with 500 horsepower that weighs 2800 pounds and i bought it for $400 because the timing chain slipped. I honestly didn't have to do anything but the timing gear the engine was totally fine when i opened it up. Yeah man id say either of the lightweight little all wheel drive SUVs have the potential to be super impressive. A buddy of mine has a pontiac vibe all wheel drive. It has a built destroked to 2.2 ecotec 2.4 with a big ass turbo the thing runs 175 mph no problem its super impressive and its an early 2000s pontiac. They didn't do anything right.
sounds epic, nicely done
A GTX55? That's a MASSIVE turbo for that power output - that's assuming you have the smallest variant, an 85mm unit rated to ~1700 horsepower by Garrett. I bet if you swapped it out for a G30-770 (58mm) the difference in response would blow your mind.
Interesting choice to use an Ecotec on a Vibe. Those are basically Corollas underneath. Literally shares 90% with the Toyota Matrix!
@@Zipppyart $$$$$. Thats purely the reason behind the ecotec. In my 20+ years building cars ive found Toyotas are to hondas like fords are to Chevy. You can get a whoooole lot from a ford or a Toyota, but compared to a chevy or q Honda, ur gonna spend at least twice as much. But like they say, you get what you pay for. Im a die hard ford man. I was a Chevy kid all through high school and the Marines but ive always built hot rods. It took owning my own shop and building everything to become a Ford man. Built my first car with my dad which was a '74 nova with a high strung 383 stroker and a junkyard t56, before that him and i built his '69 big tire Impala with a mountain motor and twin 98's. Literally the setup the murder nova had back in the day. When i got out the corps in '17 i bought my automotive fabrication shop ive been doing that ever since. I build everything. From 1.5jz drift cars to big block pre runners and everything in between. Ive even built a few yamaha R6 and R1's. Thats the only sport bike ill put my trust in are Yamaha. Through everything, built Fords and built Toyotas, pound for pound, failure for failure, are the move if you want something thats gonna hurt feelings, scare the shit out of cute girls, actually make it back to the house, straight through pound town to squealsville. He built that little vibe for like 7 grand bro. All in. And it fux really hard for what it is. He just SMOKES C8 Corvettes by like 6 cars. My best friend's dad owns one he comes out with up on Wednesday nights and gets embarrassed by multi color shit boxes that make 600 all wheel hp.
@@ChristopherHallett I understand where ur coming from. But i do this for a living jack. Building cars is how i eat. Its actually what Garrett recommends for the application. Its a gtx55 600 gen 4. Its called a gtx55 600 because its good for 600hp. Which happens to be EXACTLY what that engine did. It makes 508 wheel on e50. Which is super impressive at 8,000 feet above sea level. It all depends on what you're doing with the car and where you live. I live in Reno, Nevada. My house sits at 7,700 feet. He has a dry stinger and rolling anti lag on the fuel tech so spooling isnt a problem. All he does is roll race on the freeway the car isn't good for anything else the roll center is shit, the wheelbase is shit, the subframes are weak, theres very little aftermarket support to remedy any of those issues. I know pretty much every k24a1 and a2 car ive built (which the count now is 4) we went with a gtx55. Now, not one of those cars are a street car. Theyre all strictly dig racing. One was a gen1 prelude, a crx, and 2 early 90s civic hatch. DX. I can appreciate the fact lag would be a thing in an application you're referring to. But these arent drift cars. These are super illegal street racing cars that have been re wrapped like 6 different colors and every single vehicle identification anything no longer exists. Its not because they're stolen, its because if we have to run and they run out of fuel or god forbid they break something and they have to get picked up and leave the car, if it does get found there's nothing tying it to the owner. Reno isn't a big city and street racing/drifting is really, really popular here. So it carries a damn serious sentence if you get caught. We don't risk that kind of shit. Thats why you'll never see a video on the Internet saying this is so and so from reno Nevada doing 204mph in his 700 awhp b5 s4. Because immediately they know, oh, hey whos that guy who owns that shop behind Capprioties? The guy with the super fast purple Audi? Yeah lets go have a chat with him.
I freaking love this build!
I've always had a soft spot for the older RAV4 that was smaller. I love the idea of this build.
Marty, for someone who is so humble you amaze me " I am a weekend hack knownothing" (your own description) nek minute building a custom high volume fuel pump with a transfer system from two pumps😂😂 that is not the skillset of a weekend knownothing, maybe 16 years ago but you are now one of the most all round knowledgeable car guys period.
Keep doing you.
Watching this video really shows how the guys skills and knowledge have advanced over the years I've been watching MCM. I remember back in the day, you'd take a car to Al or Benny for help when you wanted to turbo or engine swap it, these days you guys are quite capable of doing a job like that yourselves. Always cool to see people learning stuff and having fun doing it!
I rarely comment on videos, but this series is so sick! I admire Marty’s determination. Can’t wait to see the final result.
What a gem, I'd wrap that thing in vintage WRC Rally livery!
Castrol 😮
Needs to be lifted for the greatest 4x4 channel in the world.
The hood scoop was used for the diesel version that had a top mount intercooler.
So why did they put it on this one? 😅
@@mediocreman2cost savings 🤷🏽♂️ cheaper to have one bonnet/hood with the scoop than to have 2 different ones for the different models of the same car
@@mediocreman2at first I thought the previous owner had changed it, but after some research I figured it's actually stock as this rav4 is a CV Sport edition and Toyota installed the hood with the scoop to make it look sportier.
Two of the OG'S in doing something unique and different 🤙 I always wanted to build a rav four and name it "Rav 4loko" and paint it the same color scheme as the drink 😂
I'm always sad when the episode comes to an end....
Really loving this build, keep em comming plz..
Thanks for all your hard work fellas
Could've easily been an hour long video and it'd be just as good
Mad respect for your nugget love. It warms my heart to know that there are other weirdos out there who like spending way too much money on cars that get very little street cred.❤
I love everything about this rav4. Keep the faded paint and lights too, makes it the ultimate sleeper.
Being a Subaru and Toyota fan and an owner of an Airtrek Turbo R, the top mount solution just felt natural. Functional hood scoops for the win!!
Here in Jamaica All Rav4's hold their value. From the 96-99's. Anything in the 2000's are for a million plus, happy to see work done on something I have access to & can mess around with. These vehicles are so mechanically strong.
It still blows my mind that a country's dollar get to the point of millions being worth so little.
Australia is heading that way slowly but surely though 🫠
The Zimbabwe dollar is the worst i know of...👀
DOn'tr forget the Rally DNA.
The 3S-GTE [ your's may be the 89 Kw 3S-GE ] won rallies in the GT4.
The early RAVs were a non-turbo GT4 with a 'soft road' body on.
So much fun to be had with the turbo on the world's best Off-road channel 😀
I'm invested on this build. Can't wait for the next ep and the final output.
I suggest calling it the Rad 4.
FYI you didn't remove the fuel regulator from that fuel rail, you removed a fuel pulse dampener, which evens out fuel flow, it's not a bad idea to keep it even on a modified setup. The regulator is in the tank on that dead head setup.
Thanks for getting back to cheaper cars and modifying them! I’ve been watching your videos since the beginning, glad to see you doing so well! Keep up the great work!
ITS SICK THE WAY YOU ENGINEER SOLOUTIONS SUCH AS THE FUEL PUMP
Thanks for continuing to make content for us to watch. Been watching since the Mira days. Been a good solid 10years of great content. Thumbs up from 🇺🇸
Absolutely love the fact you guys always do different cars and still keep it budget DIY... awesome work, never change please!
Only budget to them bc call in ALOT favour, would cost close to a fortune to do realistically
What's not to love about the best 4 wheel drive channel on youtube!
Started watching this series late. These engines have heaps on untapped potential.
Builds are always a wildcard but you can always bet on MCM having some bangin music thanks Moog
It’s crazy how much more fun a boring car can be simple by being a manual transmission
you guys have come such a long way with your knowledge.
I've been watching you from the start
The new music feels very Kei to the City, and that’s my favorite MCM music era.
I really like this! I had a Freelander 1 with the Rover 1.8 K series engine. I liked the car overall for it being very practical and having a T- Top and a hardtop on the back was fun on the not to hot summer days and evenings. Thanks to the 4x4 I was also able to pull people out of the ditch when they slid of the snow covered roads during wintertime. Only letdown was the engines ~115PS, that was always struggling in the Eifel mountains, especially when a trailer was attached.
I sold it mostly because of the fuel consumption, back in a '94 Corsa (Barina) now and I'm actually happy about it. :)
Thank you for this content. I've been watching for years but the hype to see this project complete, makes me want my 2013 Rav4 to do the same.
The only thing that sucks about a mighty car mods video is when it ends.
My babysitter had one of these, they drove great and was clean af
Love these "everyday car" videos. Takes me back to my younger years, modding and making tweaks as and when I could! Keep it up!!!
Love this kind of thing boys! It's pushing me closer to turboing my mx5.. Everytime I think I'm not going to do it your vids like this get me hyped up again.
I am from Jamaica 🇯🇲 and I bin watching u guys for the longest wile now and I love what u guys r doing I also have a project billing but I had to put it on hold because of funs it is a Suzuki super carry I am putting a 3sz engine in it
5:06 an external surge tank will solve that issue, it's a good way to upgrade your fuel system while leaving the tank assembly stock and easily reversible
Had a 2002 Rav4 2-door. Installed a lift kit and some offroad tires. It was awesome! Sold it for a Caldina GT-Four 2004 model, but sometimes I miss the Rav4, it was care free and awesome.
Always a pleasure to watch Marty get into mechanical details.
My aunt had this exact model of rav4 it's fun watching those mods you have chose
whoa! i can now watch your videos in PiP without TH-cam premium!! Im glad MCM is one of these channels that has this feature!
Love it, Mates!!! Thank you for all your content . Watching from KC Missouri, 🇺🇸 can't get enough
I put one of those extreme clutches in my old S14 200SX. The ~1/3 higher clamp load pressure plate and the cushion face sprung centre ceramic disc took a SHITLOAD of abuse and held strong for years, and it drove like a stocker.
I appreciate you guys and all the awesome work.
Even the detail to background music and soundtrack, keeps me listening when I’m spinning spanners at work. That’s a bunch guys!😊
brings back memories of my mk1 rav4 , my neighbor wrote off his Gt4 guess where all the parts went, hope your is as exciting as that was!
I remember once they said they'd "never let it become their full time jobs" - well, I knew that wouldn't last and I'm super glad I was right. Remember, it's not a job if you are in control and you love it. Awesome stuff guys.
Return line mod ......man that remembers me ,how I did it on my Lexus IS200 ,which came with a tte supercharger......and originally the car has no return line,like the RAV4. Rank One made a kit ,with all items to get the job done.
It was a bit tricky,but it worked out well . Now with bigger injectors and bigger pulley ,the car boost is raised from 0,35 to 0,6 and no issues :)
Interesting that a 19 year old RAV can be attracting so much interest from the MCM audience and at the same time it’s currently Australia’s best selling new car.
13:30...your hand in the door jam .. very brave lol. I would have would probably pushed against the door injuring myself in the process.
Wish we got those 2-door Rav's here in the states! Those early mid 2000's ones are one of my favorite bodys for it and it looks even better as a 2-door.
Maybe one day I'll just import one when they hit 25yrs old
Good job on the fuel system Marty, I don't know why you and Moog haven't done a Rav 4 before, but, happy you are now :)
There's a lass in the UK who already has a turbo fitted to a RAV4 and she's gone one step further and RWD converted it
Love this build!
This was meant to be. I bought a Subaru Outback just as Gramps was getting done. Then 2 months ago I got a rav4. Legendary timing.
Would love some merch guys , thanks for all your edpisodes and builds , love the content and time you guys spend to make this cool ...cant have enough
Sam the mechanic is a Legend, he’s my go to guy for all my cars.
I still drive the same car. Thank you for bringing joy to all of us from rav4 philippines
You guys love Haltech so I just received my Haltech Elite 2500. Time to start learning LOL
In a world of DDE's and Mat Armstrong's 🤡🤡 I'm happy that you guys do mainly cars/mods normal people can actually afford 🫡
Agreed, but just the haltech stuff alone is probably 2K plus.
Imagine being this upset that other youtubers make content on cars you dont like.
Would love to see another mad budget build, late 90s-early 2000s, minimal toolkit, and minimal budget for mods ❤
Loving the random car builds !! Keep up the good work and content !!
Done, just purchased another travel mug because the lid on my other MCM mug wouldn't screw on tightly. Had the throw it "IN THE BIN". High hopes for the next one though. Love your show, I've been fan since the start.
Really enjoying this. My friend turned up with one of these in the UK in the '90s. It was white with pink stripes. I called him Barbie but secretly. I really loved it
Man I feel like this would be a perfect platform for an air-to-water intercooler, to save space - plus I'm biased because I want to use one in my Datsun 620 project and I'd love to see more real world examples!
There’s a chap in England with a Toyota celica gt4 engine swapped was an absolute machine
Yes, definitely try to install a sprayer on intercooler!
Loving the 2azfe love that you guys have been giving not a lot of people working on them anymore
I am in love with the term "softroad"! You mates are still mighty!
You know the term "Softroad" & "Softroaders" is at least 15 years old? (Maybe older)
The MCM guys didn't invent the term.
@@BobMonkeypimp good, first time I ever heard it and it is a good term. It makes sense. Maybe it's because I'm in the usa? We just have cars or trucks. Off road is never allowed on road, and on road never goes off road. So, something in between is neat. Like we can't even off-road a Ford raptor or a jeep. Those are still just road cars here. So "soft road" is just great!
In the UK and Europe they had those bonnets on the diesel models with a factory fitted top mount intercooler.
Gran trabajo, hace muchos años en mi pais compitieron en rallie con un rav4, una gran maquina con mucho potencial.
The best 4wd channel in the world. I render watching papadakis rav4 build and thought it was cool as well. Keep up the sweet content
That fuel sender setup is nearly identical to what I've had todo for my boosted IS200 lol weird watching that but love it!
Put a little shroud of foam or soft rubber around the bottom of the air scoop to force all the air thru the IC :))
Thank you for making videos of actual modifying on the go. Great videos. If it doesnt fit make it fit attitude 👍🏻😎
You guys are right, I'm bloody loving it!
Rav 4 build is going awesome. I can imagine how the finished project will be.
I enjoy the new tracks and remixes. I see/hear you!
I never thought I'd be excited for RAV4 content, but HERE WE ARE!
Still the GOAT of TH-cam car channels…
From the UK you guys are the best and legends in the modified scene.
Just snagged myself a shirt from your store. Happy to support you guys. Thanks for the entertainment. Love your work guys.
Bonus points for being period correct with the inter-warmer... directly above the exhaust headers was a factory feature of so many 80s/90s transverse FWD/AWDs!
😅😅😅
The gearbox montage got me thinking it would be fun to show a clock in the corner indicating the real time elapsed between all those edits.
I never thought I’d be so invested in a rav 4 build 😂 I kinda want one lol
You guys gotta 3d print a Rav34 badge for the back!
Your Nissan GTRav4 Toyota looking good.
Clutch swap on a rav4! Finally a job I've done before is given the tv time it deserves
Iv been telling my wife that I want to do this to our rav4 for a while now. his name is Gerald, I think it would wake him up. You guys beat me too it hahaha
Your wifes name is Gerald?
@@LukeTheJoker the cars name is Gerald
I’m glad your getting back on track, this is real mcm content
