weight...

[wherearemypants]

How much exactly does an Sr20det with transmission and everything weigh... i'm wondering if i should go sr20 or ka18... they are both good motors, even tho alot of people don't respect the ka18... i really need the weight on both motors... i'm gonna buy one soon and i'm wondering if it is worth the extra to go sr... i have heard of ka18 blowinge the pants off of sr's so i don't know...

thx guys...

ive never even heard of a k18. are you sure your not talking about a ca18??

[S13FASTBACKSR]

almost any engine that is of less hp in a stock nature can beat another engine that is of more hp in a stock nature IF its modified enough..a stock CA18 would not beat a stock SR20 unless the sr driver sucks and the ca one doesnt...idk about the weight of the motors but im pretty sure there isnt that much of a difference..you'll have to do a little more searching

An Sr is around 450 lbs with the transmission.

My guess is that the CA18 and its iron block is heavier.

CA wieghs about the same as a KA

Sr isnt much lighter than a KA. At most 40-100 pounds. I do know the LS1 wieghs 20 pounds less than a KA though

sr(well s13 redtop anyway)is 490, ka(sohc)is 493

[VigVoodoo]

Well seems like the SR20DET is about 30lbs lighter than the CA18DET

[I ask good questions]

Read the "where to buy engines" thread in the FAQ section of this forum. I dont think people have been happy with Jazzproparts. Dont go out with a motor just because it is cheap. Look for quality. If you have importer within a reasonable distance from you I would personally go there and select a motor. It is always good to do a compression and leak down test, look make sure all seals and gaskets look in good condition, check the turbo for shaft play and oil leak etc.

conflicting info.. i can't seem to find the thread but some dude weighed a bunch of nissan engines and the results were that the sr20det and ca18det are very close to the same weight. SR is a couple KGs lighter. They are both ~30lbs less than the ka24de. Online engine weights are sketchy, everybody weighs with their own ideas of what accessories (alternator and such) should be installed when on the scale. Theres no definate weight out online but this info seems to be the best in my opinion
