Correct me if I'm wrong, just thinking out loud here, but I am not sure if it's gonna work properly. Your donor car tank (rav4) holds less than half the amount of fluid in the cooling system, then MR2 does, therefore I believe the tank might be too small (or pressure too high once that much fluid expands).
Thanks for the comment! The v6 rav4 from 2008 takes about 10 quarts when the mr2 takes about 14 quarts. So yeah it’s about 2/3 the size of the mr2 cooling system. I haven’t had an issue as of yet. But I will keep an eye out. I’ve been driving the car all over, haven’t had an issue. If I NEED to go bigger, thankfully Toyota made some bigger expansion tanks for other cars! Lol

Can i use this resevoir the same set up of wilhelm?
Yes, you can most definitely use this setup the exact same way as Wilhelm Raceworks does.
