The 2zz block for the most part is rather stout what bugs me is how stupid things tend to fail on the engine as more power and boost is made. What I have noticed is that yes the pistons do go to pot if ran hard for extended periods of time.

I like how we are finally transitioning away from the m-62 since IMO it's a very old design suited best for "daily" driving and low psi numbers. Thermal efficincy on these are horrible when compared to a twin screw.

The wish list would be making it compatable with a intercooler setup with some nice Bosch 550 injectors for the Exige S. Slap in a Walbaro 255 fuel pump and a good tune take out the cats and we're looking at 300hp daily driven on pump with good tune and safe AFR's. Very possible good luck Phil.
