I thought it would be a great idea to get a thread going specifically dedicated to the 2GR-FE engine. It has several vehicle applications, therfore if we keep our eyes peeled, we may likely benefit from its varied use. I'd like to propose that we sticky this so as to provide a catch-all location for the information we amass regarding this engine. Mods, pictures, parts, etc... I'll be following up with some more posts/pictures soon!

Here's the Lotus Evora version of the 2GR-FE. Note the rear VVT-i oil line!! It's the half rubber/half metal one!! Hmm, it's interesting that our issue went beyond Toyota.

Just wanted to keep you company on this thread, the engine pics look good, it's interesting that the oil hose doesn't/didn't change for the other applications. It would be interesting to know if there have been common failures of that hose in that regard. How can I get a turbo for my engine? 
This thread is a good idea. The 2GR-FE is such a versatile power plant. Here's one installed in a Toyota MR2:

Here's Tom's Racing (japan) supercharger kit for the 2GR:

Granted it's for the GS and IS in Japan, so it's actually for the 2GR-FSE (direct injection) variant.

Here are some repair manual PDF's for the 2GR-FE from a Camry site. Who know's they just might be helpful:

Hmmm, headers?.... Check this link out. I know it's for a modified MR2 2GR-FE conversion, but.... I think we should watch this MR2 crowd and see what they do to push the 2GR-FE. I'm thinking that we just might see things we can use prior to something coming from the Evora. After reading some of their threads, several of the posters are confident that they can get 400 rwhp with thier modified 2GR-FE/MR2 setups! Cool!:

:? I modified the Annotated Pictures / Help with locating parts on 2GR-FE (V-6) engine post.
I made sharper (higher bandwidth) JPEGs of the same pictures that should make the notations
easier to read, and I uploaded them to the ImageBam site.

There are still some legend descriptions that should be filled in.

More info:
2GR-FE
2GR-FE engine in the 2008 Lexus RX 350The 2GR-FE is a 3.5 L (3456 cc) version. Bore remains at 94 mm but stroke is reduced to 83 mm. Reported output varies depending on the vehicle application, but is approximately 268 hp (200 kW) at 6200 rpm with 248 lb·ft (336 N·m) of torque at 4700 rpm on 87 octane (R+M/2). This version features Toyota's Dual VVT-i, variable valve timing on both the intake and exhaust cams. Valves are driven by roller-follower rocker arms with low friction roller bearings, and a unique, concave cam lobe design to increase valve lift over the traditional shimless lifter type system of the 1GR-FE. This increases overall cylinder head height to accommodate the slightly taller roller rocker system. Moreover, the cylinder head is segmented into 3 parts: valve cover, camshaft sub-assembly housing, and cylinder head sub-assembly. As such, this valvetrain is used across all other GR engines with Dual VVT-i. Its service weight is 163 kg.
Side Note: All Lexus engines are rated using 91 octane, Toyota rates using 87.
Applications:
2005 Toyota Avalon (GSX30)
2006 Toyota Aurion (GSV40)
2007 TRD Aurion (Eaton Twin-Vortices TRD supercharger)
2006 Toyota RAV4 (GSA33/38)
