Default Which Toyota engine....

.....comparable or the exact same as IS350F? I read that Lexus EX uses the same engine as Toyota Camry and Lexus RX uses Toyota Tundra? How about IS350F?

The 2GR-FSE is in the IS350 (direct and port injection)...

The 2GR-FE is in the ES350, RX350, Camry, RAV4, Sienna, etc... (port injection only)...

The V6 in the Tundra is a 4.0L, the 1GR-FE

The 2GR-FE and 2GR-FSE share the same internals, only difference is the fuel injection.

Not true. Only the block is the same AFAIK. There are different cams, internals, direct and port injection and a few other things that make it very different from the 2GR-FE.

Basically same block, same displacement, different engine.

Here's a link to an older SAE article about the engine's debut and whatnot:

http://www.sae.org/automag/techbrief...1-114-1-17.pdf

I think the Toyota Crown and another Toyota Japan only car uses the 2GR-FSE but the engine was designed and made for the IS series when Toyota decided to make a 3-series fighter.

Got to love how smooth the 3.5 V6 feels though, the 2.5 V6 wasn't as smooth for some reason.
