oh what a nissan feeling! Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 (edited) I haven't seen a topic on this, although whenever an engine conversion is talked about its the first thing bought up! Engine weights. So who volunteers to weigh their engine? I used some bathroom scales and an engine crane. (the scales were glass too!) So i will start, please add to this if you can. SR20DET = 120kg This included, cast turbo manifold, flywheel, cas, inlet manifold, fuel, oil in sump. everything except for starter motor and alternator. I imagine a long motor would be under 100kg. Weights I hope you guys can provide. 3,4,5,7K series 4age 3sge ca18 1g anything else you have on your garage floor! Edited October 11, 2010 by oh what a nissan feeling!

Unna Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Hey mate, I should be able to find out 3k and maybe 4k for ya :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KETURBO25 Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Me and SLO-030 pulled a 4k motor out of a wagon today with a cross bar and some rope, lol I'm guessing that it dosnt weigh that much at all really. Its an interesting question though, i mean it was heavy but it wasnt unliftable by any means. I don't have scales so i couldnt really weigh it but ill be keen to find out what it is too.

LXY-642 Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 i can lift a 4k, and i'm only little lol. i would say more then 60kg easy. my 4k is at my cousin's place. if i had it here and some scales i would go out and weigh it now. there is a page on here that link's to a site saying the 4k weighs in at 114kg.

Duckman Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 5K's must be a fair bit lighter than 4k's for whatever reason. I bought a 5K with attached K50 last night and had no way to get them off the back of the ute other than my own two arms and back. So I pulled the gearbox off the motor whilst still in the back of the ute and lifted it out. The gearbox has bugger all weight in it so I'd say 25kg's would be a good guestimate. I was then going to seperate the head, block and manifolds etc to lighten things up so I could then heft out the rest but decided I couldn't be bothered as it was nearly 9:30PM and starting to rain again(plus apparently the sump is still full of oil...a disaster waiting to happen). As the alternator has been located on the other side to the manifolds on this engine(the 5K in Rosie, my KE30, has them all on the same side) I used them as handles and lifted the motor out. It wasn't too much trouble so I'd guess it weighing in around 100kg's? Might have been easier as I could keep the load nice and close to my body and it was distributed pretty evenly.

LXY-642 Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 i've lifted, a 3k, a 4k and a 5k. all seem to be around the same weight to me. must be something to do with how the weight is positioned or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ae95- wagon kid Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 my home made whipper snipper bike engine 2.4 kg with full fuel got me from Mitcham to Aldinga on one tank at 40kph not bad for a tiny little ported 32cc engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madKE35coupe Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 my mechanic reckons that 3, 4 and 5k motors all weigh in at an average of about 75 kg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
