2009-2018 Toyota RAV4 2.5L PZEV ULEV II Engine JDM 2AR-FE

About this unit

Vehicle Fitment

This engine is a direct replacement for the following North American models:

• Toyota RAV4 (XA30 & XA40): 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 (Base, LE, XLE, Sport, and Limited trims)

• Emissions Compatibility: Fits both Federal and California (PZEV/ULEV II) emission standards.

• Interchange Note: While the long block is identical, certain external accessories must be swapped from your original USDM engine.

JDM to USDM Installation Guide

When swapping a JDM 2AR-FE into a USDM (United States Domestic Market) Toyota RAV4, follow these essential steps to ensure 100% compatibility and no Check Engine Light (CEL):

1. Sensor Swap: Transfer your original USDM intake manifold, exhaust manifold, and all sensors (MAF, O2, etc.) to the JDM engine block.

2. EGR & Emissions: If your USDM RAV4 is equipped with specific PZEV/ULEV II smog equipment not present on the JDM long block, you must transfer those components to maintain emissions compliance.

3. Wiring Harness: Always use your original USDM wiring harness and ECU. The JDM harness is often cut or configured for right-hand drive vehicles and will not plug into your dash.

4. Coolant & Oil: Use the USDM water pump and thermostat housing if the JDM outlets differ in angle.

Pro Tip: Replace your water pump, thermostat, and spark plugs while the engine is out of the vehicle to save on future labor costs.

What is included

You receive exactly what is pictured. Engines are supplied as a long block assembly with the components visible in the photos. Accessories such as the alternator, starter, intake manifold or sensors are included only where you can see them on the unit, so check the photographs before ordering and ask us if anything is unclear.

Before you order

• Confirm the engine code against your own vehicle, not just the model year.
• Japanese market units can differ from the US version in intake, loom and sensors.
• Replace the timing components, water pump and seals while the unit is out. It is cheap insurance on an engine this age.
• Keep your original accessories until the swap is finished and running.
