How much does the subbie boxer weigh? (4 cyl) - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Myka · 04-01-2010, 04:27 AM

The engine swap thread made me think of this - please accept my apologies if this has been covered in said thread. I was wondering if there is a site that gives a list of how much popular engines weigh.

Perhaps, there is a site that lists the weight of certain boxer engines, the LS1, and 2jz - popular, often swapped engines.

I googled, but didn't find anything.

it's pretty light. fully assembled it can easily be lifted by 2 people who aren't complete weaklings, haha. maybe 180lbs??

I remember this data base of engines weight, it says the 2.2liter subaru engine is 269lbs

IIRC when my friend ordered a new short block for his STi the shipping manifest said 98lbs or 89lbs, I cant remember. But under 300lbs sounds about right for fully dressed.

as for the others, the LS1 is lighter than my cast iron 4cyl and the 2jz is a boat anchor

the 3S is a bit heavy, but i love the durability of the cast iron block! well, until you start pushing crazy hp numbers and cracking cylinders and stuff.

My gripe with a non boxer swap is the change in balance and dynamics of the car. The very compact boxer engine will be mounted very low and behind the front axle- lowering the CofG of the car and thus improving handling. A swap to an inline or V engine will raise the CofG and mount the motor farther forward...

Siriusly.Andrew · 04-02-2010, 01:41 AM

so it'd be like most cars we drive today, yes? most I4's are mounted right above the front axle, being FWD and all. While I don't agree with putting an inline or V motor in, I don't think it'd murder the car.

4agze · 04-02-2010, 02:59 AM

is it true a LS9 is lighter than a 13B turbo, thats why FD3S people are swaping them

Midship Runabout · 04-02-2010, 02:18 PM

^ dont know. that would be hard to believe.
I think they just want this thing called torque

NESW20 · 04-02-2010, 02:31 PM

i've heard that it actually is roughly the same once you add on turbos, intercooler, etc onto the 13b.
