My 07Avalon has 207k miles. 2GR is Still running good and not burning oil. I love it. Only had to replace alternator

hell yeah! I got a 05 avalon xls with 2GR-FE and she's got near only 180k miles on it. it's only ever needed basic routine maintenance and she runs like a champ. currently nothing is wrong with it besides some external cosmetic issues that can be easily fixed. I'll never get rid of her ♥

@@ArcYT yea man don’t let go of her! Especially in this crazy car market. I want another Avalon, the 2011-12 body style is dope. I’ve been tempted to boost my Avalon. But I’ll keep it NA. I feel like it needs more fuel treatment when it’s up in the 200k range. And it seems to like 93 premium more than regular

@@yukonstriker1703 I’m confused on what you’re trying to say

My 2013 gs350 is on AWDtrain 2gr-fse

My 16 is300 awd has the 2gr fse.. so.

@@mslmatao I should have been more specific and said RWD based vehicles. The 2GRFSE is meant sit longitudinally but the 2GRFE is horizontally opposed.

Me too this guy is great

There are some key differences between their and there as well.

@@yukonstriker1703 No engines come from factory as a closed deck. You'd need to hit up a performance shop. But really unless you were trying to hit over 600 whp then I don't see the point. You could achieve good power on a stock block with a Centrifugal supercharger with the FSE as proven with RR Racing & a quick search you can find a Twin Turbo IS350 with a Standalone ECU pushing 650whp. The FE platform has had a number of people run various setups from NA, Turbo & Supercharged with much success and documented results.

Not sure if this is right but I’m pretty sure the FE came with sleeved cylinders. Not sure is the FSE did though.

@@aaronpreddy35 the 2J came stock with a closed deck and pretty sure the 3sgte did as well.

​@@danielavalos8466 I THOUGHT THE FSE HAD IRON CYLINDER SLEEVES ??

Lexus GS AWD is very similar :lol:. The cars have a planetary full time transfercase with lockup. Underneath it looks like a truck. Extremely reliable powertrain.

On my Tacoma I had an aftermarket snorkel installed, and without the emissions filters and garbage, you can hear it switch. Once you hit 3500rpm it starts screaming, and it sounds GOOD

They're great NA too . I spanked a 350z hr not too long ago (i have a video on my channel too lol) . And the highest NA 2grfse i have seen makes 331whp. Not bad for a small V6 lol

@@PResmejor Saw your video man. Who knew with proper intake porting and supporting mods the 2gr fse can keep best a 2019 SS Camaro. I’m looking to do the same setup on my 13 GS350. Thanks for help bringing more performance options to the 2gr-fse👍

@@boheng81 my pleasure ! The potential is there , just waiting to be unlocked ! And thank you very much ! 🤝🏽

There is plenty of support for the 2GRFE but yeah maybe not the FSE.

do u have any uodates on mods

I watched all your videos and I must say, I'm very very impressed with your build. I have a stock 07 camry v6 and I love the 2gr engine but the camry is front wheel only which makes tuning not worth it. I want to get the 2015 highlander limited and I was wondering how much was your total spend on the upgrades. Waiting for more of your videos

Did you swap your transmission too? I’m planning on supercharging my 06 is350 eventually, and I read on club lexus that past 430whp the transmission starts slipping and can’t keep up

What engine oil do you use

@@albertdphan I opened up the tranny and replaced the gears but I considered getting a synchro but so far it’s been good

@@1996cutiebaby always keep high mileage mobile one I’m at 161k on the dash 😭😭

@@juanchopancho914 what’s synchro

Change it earlier Or go with 0W30-5W30

It'll certainly make your wallet lighter lol

Mainly ecu I believe

the 2gr fe can hold up to 1000hp on stock internals turbo charged done here in the Caribbean , this engine is just as durable as a 2jz

​@@brandonjohnson4914 You think based on that it's just as durable as the 2jz? Longevity,strength and quality is all equal? How about working on them? As easy or harder?

@@erinericsson based on the engine configuration, the inline six is overall easier to do everything compared to the v , but it still stands the 2gr is an engine worth having

@@brandonjohnson4914 Very interesting. Do you think you'll ever do a breaking point test to see what it can truly handle or you think anything over 1000 hp would destroy it?

it would probably feel a lot more planted with sticky tires, lowering springs and sway bars. but if you really want to experience 2gr-fse fun, buy a rear wheel drive 2006-13 Lexus is350 with 306hp and turn off stability and traction control. I've drifted mine around some corners and had stupid fun in a wet open parking lot. It will also rip to 60mph in a high 4 second range, matching or beating much sportier and more powerful cars from stoplight to stoplight.

just unplug it dude lmao fuck eco mode.

That’s just how they have it tuned for power and fuel economy. You might be able to get away with 89 but only if you plan on not pushing it hard and go easy on the throttle. But if you have a loaded car or plan on doing a lot of highway driving or drive a little aggressively than I would definitely use the better gas, you should anyway but that’s the basics of it.

just usually carbon build up and or oil burning totally normal with these cars I have an 07 gs350 bought VP racing octane booster and some royal purple fuel injector cleaners after a fuel treatment from valvoline and cleaned all gunk and shes getting plenty of mpg and no more smoke

would recommend throttle body clean too

I researched for ages and searched for almost 2 years for a minty clean is350/gs350. I entered every car into the Lexus driver website using their VIN to look up dealer service history. What I found (and saved me from buying) was that the 07-08 (possibly 09) were the oil burners. I must've looked at the history of 20 cars and was close to buying two when I read they were taken in for oil consumption issues. If I recall there was 5-6 cars out of the 20 that were taken to the dealer. After that I read on clublexus that they changed oil control rings on the 09 or 10. I ended up buying a 2010 that hasn't used any oil yet, and I've beat on it. some guys is/gs burn a quart every 500 miles!

Who said there isn't enough space under the hood?

Yes, it's the same engine.

Thats it , you look after it , it looks after you .

NZ as well. My Aurion hauls ass and I always wondered what the Blades are like. With regards to the start up rattle, I tried my luck by adding Rislone engine treatment for a while, and used engine flush additive before doing my next oil change. Rattling gone. Therefore, in my case I have to assume that the oil galleys were previously sludged up

snap

Add Nulon E20 additive with your oil change

Same problem just gotta use 10w 40 Penrite oil and make sure the screens in the high pressure oil system are clear

. . At the VVT lines on both cylinder banks.

Port

Yes.

I do believe the FKS is PWTA

Yamaha :)

What model of car?

Issues I have experienced with the 2gr fe in an 07 camry The alternator is sensitive. Will give up at about 50k miles. The pulleys will start getting noisy as u rack up mileage. This will make ur car sound like it's very old. Change all of them at 50k miles as well The engine deserves a better catalytic converter as it needs to exhale properly to get that HP The vacuum system has some cheap plastic that will give way over time. Be on the look out for that. This engine is basically bullet proof and will run very very hot without major issues. Enjoy it while it's still in production

2gr , will last a lifetime

What year is it and have you had any issues yet? I have a 2015 I just got with 28k miles and just read about the 5th cylinder scuffing issue, which essentially scraps the engine, and now I'm worried.

@@Pygmara HI - 2015 with 53,000 miles. No issues with mine. I make sure the oil and filter are changed no more than 4,000 miles and twice a year. I use a high quality snythetic - Castrol, Mobil 1 or Penzoil Ultra. I usually have the dealer change it at a six month mark and I change it myself six months after that. I NEVER beat on my cars and make sure to drive conservatively until it warms up. I'll be changing the coolant in the spring. I wouldn't be concerned as long as you take care of it and do preventative maintenance. I have a 2003 4 cylinder Camry. (20 years Jan 2). There are reports the engine has problems, but NEVER had a problem with mine- Again, constant maintenance and drive conservatively. 😊😊👍👍

@@billiebobbienorton2556 that's good to hear you have no issues. I'll be maintaining mine similar, as I take care of my belongings. However, I've only driven 2k miles (26k bought) and noticed my drive belt was half shredded. I'm hoping this isn't why the previous owner sold it, there seems to be a little wear on the tensioner pulley bolt you use to decompress the belt, so 🤷‍♂️ Fingers crossed I didn't get a lemon, I really do enjoy the car so far and look forward to driving it for years..

@@Pygmara Sorry to hear about the drive belt issue. Maybe at worst, the tensioner pully would need replacement (?) I would think there would be a lot of noise or lubrication coming from it if it was failing. Doing a search this doesn't seem to be problem area on the 350 Engine. Keep me posted. Good luck and enjoy your ride. Reach out to me if you ever want to chat 😊😊

@@billiebobbienorton2556 no extra noise, only took approx 10 mins to replace, very easy. Seems to be just an old belt I caught just in time. I'll keep an eye on it but seems fine. One other thing, what rpm do you idle at at start? I'm around 1.5k for a min then when kind of warm it only drops to 1k rpm. Is this normal for the 2gr-fse 3.5l v6 in the rc?
