2GRFE Swap with E154F AWD, 2GRFE Swap Options

[2JZIS300]

So I was thinking. The guys with 2Gen MR2's run the 2GRFE swap.. Those unfamiliar with the motor it's basically the 3.5L V6 out of a newer Camry/Avalon/RAV4/ES350....... It's a great motor. Stock power is around the 280 hp range. They are also 20lbs lighter than the Iron 3SGTE or 5SGTE. In Australia they have the Aurion which is the Australian Camry that they stuck a Eton TRD Supercharger on 325hp. The Lotus Evora Supercharged version is 345hp or Evora 400 is 400hp.

Anyways they bolt right up to a E153 MR2 2WD Transmission. MR2 guys do it all the time. I have seen a photo of one bolted to a E154F before somewhere on a forum. So anyone willing to do it or have done it? I seen on Instagram that a guy swapped a 2GRFE in a 6GC convertible already. So I know it's doable. This dude can make a plug and play harness for it. http://www.wiregapinc.com/pricing/

I found a motor for $700 out of a RAV4 the other day.

I want to see AWD 2GRFE.

The 1GRFE crank out of the Tacoma/FJ Cruiser/4Runner supposably swaps in the 2GRFE to make a 4.0L Stroker Motor. And if you swapped the 2URFSE direct injected heads off a IS350 or GS350. We might have a high power Hybrid Motor. Then you could go Crazy and Stick the TRD Aurion Supercharger or Lotus Supercharger on it. Power could be in the 450hp - 500hp range and the torque curve would be linear.

This could be the new swap to do rather than a 3SGTE plus parts are easy to come buy. 3SGTE parts are getting harder and harder to find these days.

Kind of a Newbe to the forum but hope to bring some life in the discussion page. I know my crap about Toyota's/Lexus's just need the funds to have fun with the knowledge. Haha Let me know if this has been discussed before?

That looks super easy to recreate. If you were to do it again would you include bushings?



I have thought a lot about the rear end. I have looked at your swap a million times. I will probably do something similar. I don't know though I kinda want it to look stock so I will probably make custom plate mounts.

I am in the process of finding a all-trac Camry to steel the rear end out of. They are the same as the GT-FOUR just 1" narrower on both sides. I kind of like the idea. I can run an crazier offset on the rear wheels.

There are Camry all-trac's on car-part.com all the time. I'm just having trouble finding a junk yard that will ship a pallet. Most junk yards only want like $200 for the whole rear subframe assembly with everything. They don't know what they have. They thinks its just a common Camry that there were millions made.
