You might want to do some research before making such claims. Lotus chose the 2ZZ-GE because of its light weight.
Lotus Elise Toyota Engine Comments Here's a link to the SAE white paper on the development of the engine:

Also, as to the whole premise behind this thread, I found this:
Lotus Blossoming - Auto-Teknix Elise 1.8T Conversion
BTW, according to that, the 1.8T weighs 88lbs more than the Rover K-Series engine.
Not sure whether you're a troll and we just didn't take the bait; but thanks for playing. If not, I apologize.
