Simple question, someone has got to have weighed them so who knows which is the lightest?

 

[ru']

Er, narrow it down to an engine type, maybe?

 

[Darren-mac]

Saying as this is gtroc i would've thought that was obvious ru'! The RB series of engines, 20 25 and 26 are what i'm talking about does anyone know which is lightest?

 

[archaeic_bloke]

gonna take a stab in the dark here and just say the RB20? lol....

 

[ru']

I'd agree, just guessing.

Why do you ask?

 

[Darren-mac]

The reason i'm asking is i'm planning a new drift car build for next year, making it a more focused machine than what i currently have. Weight loss is a major factor and i don't want to add any weight that doesn't need to be there, still only guessing can anyone tell me for sure which is lightest?

 

[ru']

Surely bhp is more important, or at least bhp per kilo?

Sorry I can't help on actual weights though, but logic says the '20 would be lightest...

If you are worried about weight put a SR20 engine in....

If you are worried about weight put a SR20 engine in....

Or VQ turbo, VH V8

no way the 26 is definately lighter than the 20:chairshot

RB26 block is 150 lbs. Head is about 75 lbs.

The better way to go is not run an RB.

 

[Darren-mac]

Already using an sr20, pretty light engine yes but just not an rb! Would have thought some tuner would have weighed them all at some point, thanks for the info above anyhow

 

[M SKinner]

Id have thought the RB25 or 26 as Ive heard you can bore an RB20 out to 86mm... that means theres a lot of extra iron there!

 

[tyndago]

I have weighed all the RB26 stuff, I just never got into RB20 or RB25. Not that many of them here in the US, kind of a waste of time.

I would say the overall structure, the deck heights, and everything else is about the same so they should weigh about the same.

Not a light engine, and also a long and tall engine.

Going by weight and output - LS1.

I would say the lightest RB block would be the RB25. It is definately lighter than the RB26 block, (having handled both) as the webs are thinner, but not by much.

And RB25 lighter than RB20 as it has bigger holes in it. 86mm vs 78mm
