Problems:
Oil leaks
The 2ZZ engine, especially when supercharged, can develop oil leaks around the valve cover gasket or oil pan due to increased pressure.
Overheating
Supercharged engines generate more heat, and the cooling system in the 2008 Lotus Elise may struggle to keep the engine at an optimal temperature.
Timing chain tensioner
The timing chain tensioner on the 2ZZ engine can wear out or fail, leading to timing issues and potential engine damage.
Supercharger belt wear
The supercharger belt can wear out or become misaligned, leading to a loss of boost and reduced engine performance.
Ignition coil failure
The ignition coils on the 2ZZ engine can fail, causing misfires and reduced power.
Fuel injector clogging
High-performance engines like the supercharged 2ZZ can suffer from clogged fuel injectors, leading to poor fuel delivery and engine performance issues.
Exhaust manifold cracking
The exhaust manifold, especially under the stress of a supercharged engine, can develop cracks, leading to exhaust leaks and reduced performance.
