so, im wondering if anybody knows the weights of various toyota motors in similar configuration. right now i have a 78 with a 20R and a W50 trans. does anybody know the weight of that setup, either together or seperate? i know they are lighter than the older 4 cyls. also, a 7M turbo and non. without trans. maybe a 1JZ. without trans. obviously you can see what im wondering. i dont need more weight up front. a little different is okay but huge will make me rethink things. mine doesnt have a/c or p/s. thanks guys.
here's a thread from www.celica-gts.com has a ton of weights in it. should be of some help. http://www.celica-gts.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=12876
hahaha....i thought to myself skimming it, whos the guy with the bathroom scale....it was you. makes so much sence. haha. heres a few that people here might want. 22RE - 318lbs 5M-GE - 340lbs 7M-GTE - 456lbs 1JZ-GTE - 477lbs SAAB slant 4 - 290lbs trannys W50 - ~100 lbs W58 - 90lbs R154 - ~110lbs -- using the weight that a supra motor/tranny differs in spec of just a tranny difference. need double checking. for guys that know the 2nd/3rd gen supras, how come the 7M with a turbo weighs so much more than the 5M without. anything that can be done to drop some weight from it? since its basically the same block, just different topend setup.
