S130 Parts Weight Thread - DEFINITIVE


Gollum

Recommended Posts

2550 with drive of doable. I was at 2460 without my fat self in my ZX. I had no bumpers, removed the sound tar, no interior except for a single sparco and no accessories (AC, PS, window squirter, cruise etc). I still had a compete dash in though and was running some 15" wheels with 205/50 tires. Weight went up when I switched to bigger wheels.

 

Also remember that the ZX gas tank holds 20 gallons of fuel. That's like 80lbs right there. So I do track days at a little under a 1/2 tank.

 

Gollum, you forgot to mention the entire exhaust system, with the cat and muffler and crap.

I wish 20 gallons of fuel weighed 80lbs.  Try more like 130 for the full 21+ gallon tank @ 6.15lbs per gallon.  The only time I have ever lost it in a zx was with almost no fuel in the tank (there were other factors, poor driving not the least of which) and I'm sure the lacking 100lbs contributed to the tail happiness.  And yes I would love for some one to weight a stock exhaust.  I'm single 3" right now, but there is a dual 3" aluminum side exit in my near future.

Ahh, so very correct. I just had my stock exhaust out recently. Amazing how heavy it all is and how it all adds up.

Don't forget that the stock tank also has NO baffling, which will cause tank slap. I've experienced tank slap several times when being a bit too aggressive with my weight transitions.

Gutted 2+2 door: STRIPPED. Only thing left on it that could be pulled was hinges.

43.5 lbs - might have contained as much as .5 lb of leaves, but that's being generous to the leaves.

And just for fun, check out the size difference between NA and turbo AFMs!

No glass, no crank arm, no interior panel, no window switch, no trim, not a single bolt left on the door, except the hinges.

 

Don't forget those are 2+2 doors which are considerably longer and heavier. But I'd guess all the guts add a solid 15-20 lbs per door.

Just bought a scale. Weighed the hood of my car, without the torsen bar and it ame out to about 44lbs. Also weighed my front tire and it was 40lbs. 

 

Tomorrow I will weight my N42 intake, turbo, turbo mani, downpipe, jpipe and ECU/harness. Does anyone know the weight of the MSA 6-2-1 headers?

Everyone says that sound deadening make up a lot of weight I I remember only getting out like 13-17 lbs. That was from everything except the firewall. Weighed it with a scale first with me and the sound deadening, then just me and subtracting the difference. I do remember the ac stuff adding up to much more.
