The SR20 motor I've got from the NX can be lifted pretty easily with 2 people, so I'd put it at about 100kg. And that was with all the oil and coolant still in the motor. :lol:
I'll have an FTO one day... i swear!

until then:
1. 2001 Merc-Benz A160 (porta-loo on wheels)
2. 2007 Peugeot 307 TDi (more fun than you'd expect)
3. [url=ttp://ftoaustralia.com/v3/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=25373]2009 Mitsubishi Triton Di-D (a monster in its own right)[/url]
4. 1992 Nissan NX Coupe (club car and project car)
5. 1996 Holden SB Barina - "The Nugget"
6. 1996 Jeep XJ Cherokee Sport - The Budget Build
7. 2010 Toyota Landcruiser 76 Series - V8 Goodness... - Build coming soon.
8. 1990 Audi 90 manual - The delightfully dignified daily driver

Spetz where are you getting all these figures from? 111 sounds about spot on and I doubt the scales are out. We lifted a cm5a engine with gear box attached with 4 people recently without any big effort. Think it would have been about 120kg all up.

As an example, this is the same engine as the 4B11:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyundai_Theta_engine

To quote: "the engine dry weight is 134 kg (295 lb)."
The 2.4L (more comparable in capacity to the 2.5L 6A13 in question here) is 146kg according to the same site.

I hope 111kg is correct, but I am worried that in reality that with 2 extra cylinders and cast iron block, it would be closer to 211kg than 111kg :(
My estimation is that it should weigh roughly 180kg +/-10%

Though not sure if Bennoz included heads on the 6A13 or not? If not 111kg sounds more realistic. Bennoz, care to enlighten us please?


While on the subject, a 4B12 all motor FTO/Lancer/Mirage would be really nice to see and would produce good power
