Never had a 1ZZ but had a boosted 2zz blown on the dyno by a guy with bigger ego than talent for tuning, I replaced it and went somewhere else. Had a 2.5 in a Scion tC blown by another tuner but it lasted at least 2.5 days, put 5 holes in the block at 100MPH and went off track backwards on fire, exciting times indeed. 1.6 Echoboost in my 400HP Fiesta blew head gasket and warped the head because F'in Ford was too cheap to install a real temp sensor and were selling a known faulty cylinder head on it for a few years that tended to crack and leak oil onto the manifold and catch fire. I was installing a newer version and bent valves in two cylinders because I did not know they did not key the crankshaft pulley but I take the blame for that, a bit at least, it was in the manual but not the area I was dealing with at the time so never saw it until to late. That is it for broken engines in over 50 years of messing around with them.

[QUOTE="RAAM, post: 286138, member: 36108"] Never had a 1ZZ but had a boosted 2zz blown on the dyno by a guy with bigger ego than talent for tuning, I replaced it and went somewhere else. Had a 2.5 in a Scion tC blown by another tuner but it lasted at least 2.5 days, put 5 holes in the block at 100MPH and went off track backwards on fire, exciting times indeed. 1.6 Echoboost in my 400HP Fiesta blew head gasket and warped the head because F'in Ford was too cheap to install a real temp sensor and were selling a known faulty cylinder head on it for a few years that tended to crack and leak oil onto the manifold and catch fire. I was installing a newer version and bent valves in two cylinders because I did not know they did not key the crankshaft pulley but I take the blame for that, a bit at least, it was in the manual but not the area I was dealing with at the time so never saw it until to late.
