K8 KLZE Weights Actual Figures!

Post by kiwi_MX3 »

Sorry for the delay everyone, New Years and work got in the way....

Motors have been weighted with oil and exhaust manifolds, But
No water,no flywheel, no Inlet manifold assy, no Auxiliary parts i.e.
A/c pump, P/s pump, tensioner brackets

K8 = 123kgs
KLZE = 126kgs

Alternator = 5kgs
P/S Pump Assy = 3kgs
A/C Pump = 6.5kgs
Tensioner Bracket Assy = 1kgs

Hope this solves a lot of the miss conceptions Matt.. :welder:

Do the K8 and ZE intake manifolds weigh the same?

Thats 15kgs for a K8 one, having removed the KLZE one at the
wreakers yard ( Enuos 800 ) as i did'nt want to pay for it cos they
slug ya for the mainafold, throttle body and injectors.

I can say it would be 15kgs as well plus/minus a kg for a KLZE one.

nice, just as I suspected....virtually no difference.

YOu should weigh the longblocks w/out any accessories brackets or manifolds attached...to see if they weigh the same.

the manifolds definitely weigh more on the KLZE though, they are larger & contain more metal.

I would think the only real weight difference between the KL and K8 would be the larger KL crank. Which would be about 3-7lbs.
