Toyota Engines
The Toyota engines are fitted to the later Elise S(06 on)/111R(04 on)/Elise R/Elise SC and all Mk2 Exiges. They are generally reliable and pretty robust,however the 2zz-fe(Elise R/111R/Elise SC/Exige)engine has been known to have problems with oil starvation at high corner speeds(a retro fit baffled sump will cure this),camshaft failure(excess lobe wear)and clutch failure.
The 1zz-fe has only been fitted to the Elise since 2006 and there have been no known problem areas as yet.
The Toyata engine and subframe weighs more than the equivalent K series which obviously affects the performance and C02 figures are much higher.
