Well this is a very complex question. Where should I begin? The Lexus uses an advanced multi turbo system. You can reference this using this engine code 1UZ-FE. The way it works is when the clutch is decompressed there is a complex system that swaps to the next bigger turbo. Each gear has a different size turbo corresponding to that gear. The part where Lexus got real tricky was engineering the patented "reverse turbo". When the clutch is decompressed the computer tells the engine to change over to use the reverse turbo that is capable of somewhere between 40-50 pounds of boost, which is why you see so many Lexus drivers cruising in reverse. Those drivers are really utilizing the 300hp produced by the "reverse turbo".

What is the standard engine size of a 2005 Lexus?

The engine size depends on the model of vehicle you are talking about. There are (and were) many different Lexus models, from the LS-430 luxury sedan to the RX-330 sporty SUV. For Lexus, the easy way to determine engine size is by model moniker. The 330 models have a 3.3 liter six cylinder, the GS and IS-300 have a 3.0 liter inline six cylinder, the GX-470 SUV has a 4.7 liter V-8, and the ES, GS, LS, and SC-430 have the 4.3 liter V-8. However, depending on the model of the car, the engine performance can vary drastically based on the design and level of trim. For decades the Ford Mustang and Crown Victoria has the same 5.0 liter V-8, but usually with a 100 horsepower difference between the two.
