Love the look of those RAV heads, the intake with the big runners, those injectors and those honking headers, just waiting for the big ass turbos

Hey Lynn, what's the combustion chamber look like in those heads? Pretty open? 40 degrees suprised me a little bit. If the chamber is open, though, it will really widen the tuning window a lot.

Curt - I wish we had GT55s on ours. Controlling power with boost is probably a bunch easier than how I have to do it. I can only get away with it because of the clutch. If it was an auto, it would be game over. CID doesn't mean as much with a clutch in terms of getting the turbos spun up, but it's everything with a converter. Stroke is king with a converter, so long as the tire can tolerate it!

Here is a picture of the chamber, it's ~81cc.

my engine does run hot and im sure that doesnt help much

[lemans411]

Those new -- expensive -- shocks seem to be helping that tire issue - at least so far --The gt55 turbine wheel really helped the backpressure issue and reduced ex temps a lot -- Now if I gould just get a waist gate that will NOT stick ------------

Looks good Ed, cant wait to see a video with the turbo's attached to it.

More cutting on the chassis today.

[67'7F6'Bird]

Do you have any pictures with the lights on? And I don't mean the headlights.

The flashlight's on...

[RAIV-Z]

Just about finished with all the cutting.

[cgeise]

be carefull it doesnt sagg or flex with out any support

[RAIV-Z]

We were very careful with it. The car was a little tweaked to start with, we're going to put it on a jig and straighten it out before we start constructing the cage.
