Hi,
I'm just after more info for the conversion on a MX5. Does anyone know the weight of a 1.6 or 1.8 engine without auxiliaries or the engine bare?
I've seen the KLDE engine weighs 112kg bare so I want to keep track of the difference.
I don't have the MX5 yet, sore subject ..... I'm extending my garage first, I want it to be a more comfortable working environment first
as I'm sure I'll be spending a lot of time in there.
The Duratec weighs about 100kg bare. I
I was able to lift mine in my arms.

Ah ha, I can see this thread now
I'm in the process of stripping the MX5 engine in the link above at the moment. If I get a chance / can be ar5ed I'll try to weigh the
ancillaries as I go.
I'm guessing it'll be close to 100kg bare. There's a fair few kgs in that cast inlet manifold alone!
