there is an interesting topic I remember reading on this motor....

http://www.mr2.com/forums/v6-owners-...toyota-v6.html

Apparently they are virtually impossible to blow up. Non interference, super awesome oil pressure even at idle... Just an all around great motor

320, depends on your gearing...

I can safely tell you that I've pegged the speedo on mine Under controlled conditions on a closed course, of course!

No chipping on this motor - lean out the afm 5 clicks to bump your power by ~15 ponies + y-pipe for better power.

When Chuck Norris drives a 3VZ-FE powered Camry he can break the speed of sound.

320kph requires a ton of power. The maximum speed of a vehicle is somewhat dependent on gearing - you'll obviously want a top gear you can actually top out with, not one that'll stop short before peak power is reached.

The stock 3VZ's limit is around 145-155mph. Anything above that and you'll need a lot more power. To break 180mph, you'll need about 3 times the amount of power the engine currently produces. 200mph requires even more.

U.S. laws prohibit a speed limit higher than the speed rating of the tires sold on the car; I'm not sure what the limits are in other countries (Japan obviously has the strictest limit).

The U.S. Camry's ECU carries a speed limit/electronic limit of about 139mph on the 1MZ, not sure about the 3VZ.

3vz has no electronic limiters - just power vs aerodynamics

the camry would transform into 1000hp by the presence of chuck norris.
regardless

by BPU (basic performance upgrades) i mean Aftermarket Podfilter, Custom Free flow exhaust, Bigger extractors, Better fuel pump, Bigger injectors, weight reduction, oh btw i wonder if you could get a 6 speed for this motor? like the 20V blacktop uses. haha that would be torn to shreads if it were ever made to fit.

but yea with all the things mentioned there ^^ and a 5 spd manual tranny.

im in NZ, everything goes as long as youre not too low or not too loud. cops dont care if your car goes 400kmph or 50kmph. i see tony the tigers car hit 240kmph ina video. but im sure 3vz can do more.

i mean they have amazing 100-180times in stock form.
