Toyota 2GR-FE 3.5L V6 Engine Lexus GS350 Avalon Camry

Description

The JDM Toyota 2GR-FE 3.5L V6 engine is a high-performance, naturally aspirated powerplant known for delivering exceptional power, smooth acceleration, and long-term reliability. Sourced directly from Japanese-market vehicles, this low-mileage engine offers a cost-effective, OEM-quality solution for replacing or upgrading your existing motor.

Engine Overview
The 2GR-FE is part of Toyota’s acclaimed GR engine family. With a displacement of 3.5 liters, an aluminum alloy block, and aluminum cylinder heads, it combines strength with lightweight construction. The Dual VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing with intelligence) system ensures optimized performance and efficiency across the rev range, while Toyota’s precision engineering delivers impressive durability.

Producing approximately 268–315 horsepower (depending on model tuning) and 248–277 lb-ft of torque, the 2GR-FE offers strong low-end pull and high-revving smoothness, making it a versatile choice for sedans, crossovers, and luxury vehicles alike.

Why Choose a JDM Import?
Japanese-Domestic-Market engines are sourced from vehicles that have been retired early due to Japan’s strict vehicle inspection (Shaken) laws. These motors typically have significantly lower mileage and experience less wear compared to their U.S.-market counterparts. In addition, Japanese roads see less exposure to harsh weather and road salt, reducing the risk of corrosion.

Direct Fit Applications
This JDM 2GR-FE 3.5L engine is a direct replacement for the following vehicles equipped with the same engine code:

• 2007–2011 Lexus GS350 (RWD/AWD)

• 2005–2012 Toyota Avalon

• 2007–2011 Toyota Camry V6 models (including SE, XLE)

• 2006–2012 Toyota RAV4 V6 models

• 2007–2012 Toyota Highlander V6

• 2006–2012 Toyota Sienna

• 2007–2012 Lexus RX350

• 2009–2013 Toyota Venza V6

Other compatible applications include certain overseas Lexus IS350, Toyota Crown, and Mark X variants that share the 2GR-FE platform.

Condition & Quality Assurance
Every engine we ship undergoes a strict inspection process:

• Compression tested for healthy cylinder pressure

• Checked for oil leaks and gasket condition

• Inspected for timing chain integrity and camshaft wear

• Verified to have smooth, noise-free operation

We source only low-mileage engines (typically under 60,000 miles) to ensure maximum life expectancy.

Installation Recommendations
For optimal results and warranty coverage, installation should be carried out by a certified mechanic familiar with Toyota and Lexus powertrain systems. We recommend replacing the following wear items before installation:

• Engine gaskets and seals

• Spark plugs

• Water pump

• Thermostat

• Engine oil and filter

• Coolant

Using high-quality fluids and OEM parts will help maintain the engine’s legendary reliability.

Performance Benefits
The 2GR-FE is widely praised for combining strong performance with refined operation. It offers brisk acceleration in luxury sedans like the GS350, while also providing the torque needed for heavier SUVs like the Highlander and RAV4. Many owners enjoy 250,000+ miles of dependable service with routine maintenance.

Warranty & Support
This engine comes with a 6-month limited parts warranty, covering internal mechanical components. Warranty activation requires proof of professional installation.

Why the 2GR-FE Stands Out

• Proven Toyota reliability and engineering

• Dual VVT-i technology for power and efficiency

• Aluminum construction for weight savings

• Broad compatibility across Toyota and Lexus models

Whether you’re restoring a Lexus GS350, replacing a worn-out Camry V6 motor, or upgrading your RAV4 for long-term use, this JDM Toyota 2GR-FE 3.5L engine delivers the factory performance you expect at a fraction of the cost of a brand-new unit.
