KA-T car weight

[rbsileighty]

I did a search and couldn't find anyone who has posted what their car weighs with a KA-T setup. It would be kind of cool to see what the real difference between SR's, CA's, and RB's swapped into S-chassis. Maybe this way we can get this info covered once and for all in one place.

Thanks for the help!

Let's do it like this... if anyone is willing to drive to a truck stop or if they have access to scales. Someone with the following equipment:

Turbo motor, 1/2 tank gas, back seat still installed, FMIC, and list anything removed.

it will vary alot with different cars i.e. s14 or s13, bigger wheels body kits few other things

[HolyShiznit]

I have posted my weight countless times.

S13, KA-T, FMIC, aluminum piping, full interior minus spare tire. 2550 with a lil' under quarter tank of gas. It will weigh around 2580 with the nitrous tank and solenoids and lines.

ment to add this... added to the other posts

List S13 (hatch or coupe) or S14 no significant body mods

Understand that most SE 240's came with AC and HICAS. Mine has neither (didn't come with AC or HICAS), also the stock exhaust/header/emissions weigh a lot when added up. My tubular manifold weighs a fraction of what the stock cast manifold weighs, also the heat shields and all that etc. Mine is also a hatch with no fender lining or rear wing/wiper (both removed/shaved). The wing and wiper/assembly alone weighed in at nearly 50 pounds.

Also aluminum piping weighs nothing.

just weight your car....weigh your turbo kit..and do some math

That still isn't going to account for everything. The stock exhaust system weighs more than an aftermarket one, including turbo. (Unless you are using a JGS tool mani, those are kinda heavy.) Also getting rid of all the emissions stuff loses weight too.

Umm...my JGS manifold is a lot lighter than my previous manifold, and lighter than the GroundZero manifold. So that statement was false.

[rbsileighty]

That makes more since Holyshiznit... I'm really looking for someone that just has the turbo kit added to a stock car with a FMIC (since that is somewhat standard on the other swaps and could add significant weight).

So if anyone has this info or would make a run to the scale it would be greatly appreciated.

Ok well I dunno what to say. My JGS log manifold weighed nearly 8 more pounds than my tubular manifold. So I will revise my statement, certain manifolds will weigh more than others. I wouldn't know about any of the GZ stuff....

Wow, your nitrous stuff weighs 300 lbs. Yanno, those big black bottles are for refilling, not for using in your car

I have my old JGS Manifold at the shop, and I have a GroundZero Manifold at the shop as well, I will weigh them when I get back from Drift Showoff. Id be willing to bet they are almost the same.

Oh, and my car weight 2850 with me in it. I dont have much for ACC or interior, still full dash. I also have a cage in the car and thats with 1/2 tank.

never listen to craving on thursdays..party night for college =D

[:: orion ::]

My S14 w/KA-T weighs in at ~2780 with half a tank...

RevHard cast manifold, T3/T4, GReddy FMIC, full 3" exhaust...

Car has had the sunroof removed, nothing in the trunk area, no spare...otherwise full interior and stock.

Tein HE coilovers and heavier-than-stock wheels...both adding weight.

Good info thanks orion... anyone else please feel free to share. Especially someone with a really stock + turbo setup.

?2580 - 2550 = 30...

[ROB240]

?2580 - 2550 = 30...

give Rick a break, he was only off by ONE decimal place...

[vvaffle]

give Rick a break, he was only off by ONE decimal place...

That would suck if he always did that. Especially if his car made only 60 hp and not 600. Unless of course he messed up the other way and has 6000 hp.

when the national tour rolls through houston all the cars in SM class have to weigh thier cars to make sure they are above what is allowed.

i have a 91 base model s13 with full interior, and at the time i had a half tank of gas. It has KA-t and front mount ect...

2,747 with no driver~Sam

[240DRFT]

Perfect... thank you very much KoukiKA240

It's the thought that counts 240DRFT... thanks

LOL

Yeah sorry he made the typo the first time, just something I noticed. Its still too bad he feels the need to use Nitrous to compete with or keep up with us at the track.

I never made a typo, you read to fast. You have a stand alone/a shop's balls/bigger turbo/more boost. Quit bitching about lonely me using nitrous. I am sure when Rob uses his nitrous you will ***** at him too.....but by then you will be 3rd place in the HP record books.

Get off your high horse and putting people down.

[95_240sx]

I am not worried about you catching up to me. Possibly Rob, I give him more credit than I give you. A shops balls? I dont understand? I built my car, I paid for my car, motor and all other things. The only thing GZ has done for me is tune my car.

I am not putting anyone down, you are just taking it in the wrong way.

I encourage you to attempt to build/tune/maintain a 600+hp car, and more importantly, try and blow my doors off, because if you do, youve helped the KA move on up a little bit.

im weighing in at about 2530 with stripped rear interior ( back of driver and passenger seats, back.. still have things to take out, add.. ( im still KA minus T ) :-p

[Nismo_Freak]

Since you got no reply in my forum.

Scaled at 2380 lbs. (Longacre)

SR BPU, and pretty much nothing else.

S14 coupe.

Before I put the heavy wheels on, and thats WITH the roll-bar.

Wow... that's lighter than any of the CA's I've seen. So no weight reduction at all? Sorry didn't quite understand what "nothing else" might mean... but assumed it ment everything is still in there. This was with fluids? Thanks for the input!

It's about as stripped as stripped gets. I even got the grinder out.

The only interior left was the dash, gauge cluster, and steering wheel trim. Also has carbon hood, no reinforcements, 4-pt. steel roll bar, coilovers and full suspension links, stock brakes minus heatshields, stock wheels. Removed stereo, removed interior wiring for stereo, removed a/c wiring, car did have powersteering.

I doubt your car weighs 2500 lbs. as it sits. Not to be rude or anything but you really should get the car weighed on a good set of scales. You'd be surprised.

I'd estimate the car weighs about 2580 - 2615 lbs. simply because the S14 componentry weighs more from what I've noticed, and there are alot of components that the S13 doesn't have that can be removed, ie. airbags (~25 lbs).
