There are two Moroso pan styles for the 2ZZ in the Lotus. They both fit the car just fine. In total you have 3 pan options, G-Pan, and both Moroso pans. They all three have pros and cons, to be honest. There are some features I like about one pan over the other and there are some things I really hate about each...
I probably like the Moroso pan with the deeper rear section (flywheel side) the best. It can be purchased at Summit Racing for instance. It has the nice drain plug like Sector's, but has a much better layout for serving items like the rear a-arms.:up: It's a little tricky to remove/install the engine with it, but doable for sure
. The sump design seems the best on this pan.:up:
I like the G-pan second best because it's the easiest to use for engine removal/installation:up:. I don't like the sump on the G-pan as much as the above Moroso pan. I do like that the G-Pan because it's sold by a Lotus specific vendor. This pan doesn't allow service to the a-arm, which isn't cool
.
The moroso with the shallow rear section, I probably like the least. It's also the most popular. It has weirdly tall sump baffle design and a not-so-great drain plug. It also is nearly impossible to install/remove the engine with that pan in place on the Lotus
It still allows service to the a-arm though:up:...
They're all way better than stock and I prefer a good pan over an accusump.
2 pennies...
