Engine weights? Options

[al94st]

Does anyone happpen to know the weights of the 4agze, 7afe, and 3sgte (any gen) or where to find them? Only thing I've found is 340lbs for 4agze(154kg, dry weight btw).

seriously?...

they are heavy. every generation in every car is going to be different. there is no number, to be exact, you could ball park within 25-50 pounds from engine to engine.... but there's ALOT to look at... every make and model has a different component to sway weight one way or another... each generation crafted from a different density, crank weight, harmonic balancer, rebuilt engines, etc.
if your requesting engine weights for your next super light whatever its for race car..... you'll need a custom engine.... obviously an engine making more power and equipt turbo/sc is going to weight more VIA extra components... (FACTORY) weight is really irrelivant, all the engines u listed have an aluminum head, and similar displacement. remove your backseat and trunk insted, why not the spare tire too... most ppl dont even no how to change that HP vs Weight, Torque vs Weight... easy trade off

only info you need.....

was just looking for approximates, and just curious btw

i was surpised to see that the 2zz-ge is slighter heavier than the B18C engine. wtf is that. really, then im assuming the k20 is even lighter?

that has no revelance to this what so ever, is that just an excuse to post? why would an N/A engine with a larger displacements weight less than an N/A with less displacement? unless one was an aluminum block

The 2zz is an all aluminum block, B18 is iron.

Stooch, all of your posts in this thread are just as useless as bonzaicelica's. Chill out.

thus that explains exactly what i said even with an al block, the sleeves are still Iron.

uhh tell me how their useless? and yes it was irrelevant, but i was just saying.

another thing to consider with alumnium blocks is the fact that although aluminum itself it alot lighter, they tend to beaf up the block a fair bit so although the metal itself it alot lighter u compensate for more bracing, in addition thick iron steeves balance it to an extent, aluminum blocks dont reduce the weight by a HUGGEEEE number, but it does help with power/weight ratio. B18 only weight 29KG more than the 2zz in comparison (LONG BLOCK ONLY)

That's the most ridiculous thing I have ever read. Manufacturers switched to aluminum blocks solely because it is significantly lighter, and no they don't tend to beef them up more, they are just used in applications where there isn't excessive boost involved. If you beefed up an Al block to make it stronger but it is almost the same weight as an iron block then you just wasted your time. Learn your facts (and learn to spell and write complete sentences) before you make claims. 29 kg is alot when talking about 4 cylinder engines.

3sgte engines are known to be heavy. handling is lost \, but power is gain with this wap.

That is a bit stupid, 29kg is alot of weight to be saved.

I know the 1MZFE 3.0 is aluminum and is 40kg lighter than the older 3VZFE 3.0 which is cast iron, thats the difference between having half person sitting in your engine bay . I know its a bit stupid to have a comparison of 2 older engines since technology has gone far but just to get an idea.

Anyway does anyone know the weight of these engines, im intrigued.
