Default New guy here and Q's about engines

Hey guys first off i want to say I dont own a lexus I own a Toyota Tacoma and I am building it to race 7200 in MORE series desert racing. That being said I have to remain 6 cyl and be a toyota engine. I hear rumor of a Lexus 6cyl that makes over 400 HP stock? is this true and can someone please point me in the right direction?

If i do decide to install a lexus engine I will be sure to poke my head in here to give you guys feedback how well it does getting beat up in the desert

I don't know of a stock V6 pulling 400hp out the gate. Only with a little modification can that be done.

Now, it's already begun and I'm a little partial to the engine, but a 2JZGTE is what you're looking for. Without a doubt, this engine with the right modifications will be exactly what you're looking for.

Lastly, give us some pictures!

Maybe a 2GR-FZE or a supercharged 2GR-FSE? They both put out about 350hp. He's probably looking for a 2JZ though.
