Bob_H Posted October 14, 2002 Share Posted October 14, 2002 Just doing some research for shipping and personal knowledge. What is the approx. weight of a fully dressed L28 and 5 speed transmission? Thanks, Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lockjaw Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 Bob I am going to guess at 415 for the engine and 100 for the trans. Whats on the engine that should be included? Flywheel is 23 pounds, pressure plate and disc prob about 15 more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_H Posted October 16, 2002 Author Share Posted October 16, 2002 So you are saying 550 total? And what are you basing the guess on? As a reference, the SR20det and tranny is just under 500, and the RB26dett and tranny appears to be about 750. Trying to get an idea of how much weight I will gain with the swap. -Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yo2001 Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 hey Bob, I got a set of JE pistons RB26DETT forged pistons. I'll sell them to you cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_H Posted October 16, 2002 Author Share Posted October 16, 2002 Ok, I'm game..., Why do you have a forged set of RB26dett pistons? I don't really want to monkey with the RB motor I am buying but rather run it for a long time on stock parts. Droping several thousand dollars for a motor and transmission is hard enough to swallow. I'll give you $15 for each piston. You didn't mention what CR it gives me? -Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_H Posted October 16, 2002 Author Share Posted October 16, 2002 And what the heck is going on with my signature? I tired to take out the [url= stuff, but it still shows up, and no link? blah. I must have something checked I shouldn't, like don't let that stuff work.. -Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lockjaw Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 Bob I am basing my guess upon the "grunt factor" of lifting the block, crank, and head. I would say 550 should be about accurate. The rb I would expect to weigh a little more since I am sure it has a beefier trans, and the head is larger with two cams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest norm[T12SDSUD] Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 Hey Bob,I weighed all the parts some years ago and if I remember correctly I believe the bare block was right at 150 lbs. , the crank was right around 55 lbs. All 6 pistons and rods were around 20 lbs.And the complete head assy. was about 75 lbs.The flywheel was 23 lbs.Throw in the chain and gears and all the covers and pulleys for another 20 lbs. I am not sure of the weight of the manifolds and other related components. Later,norm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lockjaw Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 Norm you forgot the piston rings. HEHE Norms numbers work out to 343 lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_H Posted October 16, 2002 Author Share Posted October 16, 2002 Ok, in order, Norm, I did search, although a weak one and came up with this: http://www.hybridz.org/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=12;t=000193 However, after your ribbing, I searched again, and with some more diligent search terms, I came up with: http://www.hybridz.org/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=12;t=000151#000000 Which still seems kinda low to me since the SR20det is supposed to be almost exactly the same,(Morgan says ~475lbs for L28et). Mike, I have updated my profile again,(I hit update profile each time, it said processing, then brought be back) but it still appears with the [url= stuff. I have not changed it since I signed up for this account, and it worked before,(as a link), and now does not. And I am the only one I see with the [url= code, i.e. others have proper links. But back to my topic. I am in agreement with you Norm on the bare weights. Add about 100-150 for fluids, manifolds, exhaust, etc and that should be the just under 500 Morgan quoted. So that would indicate switching to a SR20det,(for those considering), it is NOT a weight advantage, but rather a more central mass advantage. Interesting. The RB's extra weight is mostly in the turbo's, intake, intercooler, etc.. The block itself is likely about 25 lbs more than the L28. -Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie-GNZ Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 Bob, you appear to have a space between "[url=" and "Http". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lockjaw Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 I will accept morgans numbers. I was close. Do his include flywheel and clutch and all that jazz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_H Posted October 17, 2002 Author Share Posted October 17, 2002 Ok, back to my url problem. Every time I go into my profile to change the stuff, I get the same thing, regardless of previous changes: Http://www.geocities.com/row4navy/ That is a direct copy from my profile page. I can delete it all, and it still appears. I don't know. And I don't know what Morgan included or how he weighted it. I would imaging he did not include the clutch and flywheel. -Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_H Posted October 17, 2002 Author Share Posted October 17, 2002 Agh! Bastards. I copied it WITHOUT A SPACE, and it puts a space it! Here it is again, with NO SPACE after URL= Http://www.geocities.com/row4navy/ I'm gonna try taking out the capital H in Http and see what that does.

Bob_H Posted October 17, 2002 Author Share Posted October 17, 2002 I freakin give up. Currently it is supposed to only be the address. No URL code, no quote. I have no idea. -Bob internet retard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_H Posted October 17, 2002 Author Share Posted October 17, 2002 A HA! First, after you "correct" it, it takes at least another post before it takes effect. And two, it is automatically a linked text w/o URL commands. That's kinda screwy, cause what if you want to put a quote, not a link? Oh well, its fixed. -Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
