Engine weight

Postby mikuni » Sun Sep 17, 2006 3:23 pm

I am looking into a possible JZ conversion, but I don't want my car to be too much of a 'lead tipped arrow'

I was wondering if anyone could tell me how much a 2JZ-GE engine weighs? (or any variation of 1jz-ge, 1jz-gte, 2jz-gte to get a rough idea)

Thanks man. Thats not too high if its correct.

I have searched all over the net and I can't find anything on it. People have suggested up to 450kgs! And others have said they are much heavier than a 1UZ.

Transplant will be into something non-toyota.

280ish sounds about right, a v160 box on its own is 60kgs or so.

J series being iron and the 1u being alloy means indeed that the 1U is a much lighter option
