A lesser know example is the 2rz from the 01-05 tacoma: 2.4 liters, and one guy boosted it and made over 1000hp on stock internals (swapped it into a rwd corolla for drag racing). We just need something light weight, small displacement, and turbo to bring the numbers up.

You have to take these 'stock internal' claims with a grain of salt. There is a local shop making some world's fastest claims about their 'stock internal' Mk4 Supra. But they interpret that as being stock pistons, crank, and rods BUT they have ARP rod bolts. This is not how I interpret stock internals, especially on a 2JZGTE motor where the rod bolts are the known weak link (weak being 600ish hp range).
The other thing is how long it's making its power for. A whole season? Or just 2 or 3 dyno pulls? Huge number 'stock internal' claims are always shady.
Even on Toyota motors.
