1GR-FE Swap

[CxG]

2GR-SFE is the way to go. Right now I'm looking at a beams swaps because someone has a complete kit for it but if I had a much bigger budget the V6 would be the perfect fit.

There is also the new 8AR-FTS which is the 2.0T that is coming out in the IS200t. 241hp and 258 ft lbs stock and it makes that torque from 1650-4000 rpms. With a little tuning and free flowing exhaust and downpipe that would be an interesting setup. Maybe Tom's will build a demo car with one in it.

the 8ar-fts looks promising but the headers are built into the engine, wouldn't know how to get a better exhaust flow out of it

There are quite a few like that now, there are some companies like Full-Race that are putting EFR turbo's on cars with that type of setup, just needs an elbow to mount the turbo it doesn't have a manifold like we are used to.

I'll have too look into it, haven't been messing or looking into too many modern engines.

The 8ar-fts is a Mercedes engine I believe. Check the MB boards for mods.

The mercedes 2.0T is shared with Infiniti, the new Q60 coupe should have it as the base engine and a 3.0TT V6 with around 400hp for the higher end models. The Q50 has been getting the 2.0T for a while, just not in the USA.

I hereby retract my previous post!

The 8AR-FTS is a 235hp 258 lb-ft 2.0 liter turbo engine designed by Toyota for their lexus models

I think the Mercedes designed infinity shared engine you're talking about is the M274

Doing any engine swap on the basis of "I already have this free random engine" is seldom a good idea.

If you have done any swaps, you will know that the engine cost almost does not register once you add in all the other things that will take time and $$$$. Final value of the project may or may not factor into the matter, but "thinking-out-of-the-box" swaps are seldom worth much unless they are WAY WAY out of the box.

I would counsel "Give this a go and let us see what you know."
