Same basic engine, intake and exhaust are different. I doubt theres any extra refinement.

Great engine. It's now used in the IS350, IS300, RC350, RC300, GS300, Highlander, Sienna, Camry, and Tacoma. There are various mounting and tuning changes, multiple transmission combinations, and programming differences but they're all the same engine (2GR-FKS).
