Default how similar is Avalon 3.0 to IS300s?

I have a Avalon with the 3.0 V6, how similar is this engine to the IS300s? Can turbo's designed for the IS300 work with on the Avalon? I realize the tubing will probably have to be changed because it's FWD vs the IS300 RWD but what about ECM, intake, etc?

Welcome to Clublexus. The IS 300 and Avalon but have 3.0 engines i.e the displacement is the same but they are 2 100% different engines.

The Avalon uses the 3.0V-6 from the Camry family. THe IS 300 uses an I-6 from the Supra.

In other words, your engine is shaped like a V, with 2 sides of 3 valves each. The IS engine is 6 cylinders back to back.

My suggestion is to check out toyotanation.com and see if the TRD supercharge can be bolted onto your Avalon.

Avalon has a 1MZ-FE V6...not related or even remotely related to the 2JZ-GE of the IS300.
