oldcorollas Forums Junkie Location: Kita-Ku, Sapporo, Japan Registered: January 2003	Re: 2ZZ-GE development doc Mon, 12 July 2004 02:42 i believe the use of them in the US was because the rover K motor was never US emissions complied, and so would be too costly, with their current laws, to get passed.. the 2ZZGE ont he other hand is already on the market there.. belt driven cams? you mean like the normal 4AGE? and half the other motors on the market? from that page Quote: While the Rover K engine had some innovative features and was relatively light, it was never designed to meet U.S. emissions requirements. The K engine was a relatively new design in 1995 when Lotus proposed its use in the original Elise. But by the time Lotus decided to bring Elise to the U.S., the K would no longer meet upcoming European emissions requirements either, so Elise would soon be needing a new engine for all markets. thanks for the doc Nark... it does look like a very interesting motor indeed.... there seem to have been a few failures tho, so it would also be interesting to hear about their weakpoints, and if they can be fixed....
