Lexus F33A-FTV specs: 3.3L (201.4 ci) 6-cylinder, 86 x 96 mm (3.3858 x 3.7795 in) bore and stroke, 15.8:1 compression. Rated 304 hp. DOHC.
The Lexus F33A-FTV is undersquare — the 3.7795" stroke exceeds the 3.3858" bore by 10.4% — a layout that trades peak RPM for leverage and torque low in the range. The 3.7795" stroke puts mean piston speed at 4,000 ft/min around 6,350 RPM, which is where a production bottom end is generally considered at its limit. Each of the 6 cylinders displaces 33.6 ci (550 cc).
At 15.8:1 this is a compression-ignition engine: the ratio is the heat source that lights the fuel, not a knock limit to be managed.
Factory fitments include the Lexus LX 500d.
