The 2GR is WAY too big for the Elise. Its bigger than the 5VZ-FE. Great engine no doubt. Thats why lotus put it into the Evora. If I were a betting man I would say lotus will pursue another supplier for the next gen Elise. There is nothing in particular keeping them tied to Toyota and lets face it reliability hasn't really been the strong suit of the 2ZZ. Im thinking of the petrol version of the new ecoboost/ecotec.
