I would suggest sticking with Toyota. Maybe a 3.0 or something like that for more power. Or if you have lots of money check out LCE the produce some pretty powerful toyota engines.

you're looking at a LOT of expense if you want to put some different engine in there. If you need a lot more power, you should just get a different vehicle with big engine.
Drop a 3.4 in there... and have someone else do it? You're probably talking $5000.

The only engine that will fit is another 22re.
If you want something faster, buy a vehicle with a bigger engine.
FYI there are 3 ways to kill a 22re....overheat it, break the timing chain, or run it without oil. You chose death by overheating.
