Default engine weights


Does anyone know what Honda engines ( B, H, K series) weigh? Trying to figure out what is ideal for H1 class.

engine weights do NOT matter for h1 since there is a minumum weight for the car anyways!

Well, they do, just not as much. All the extra weight over the front wheels will alter handling a bit.

Can't give you exact weights, but generally D &lt; B &lt; K. Remember that H1 cars are weighed according to engine type, see the rules for the exact amounts.

I thought the K series were in fact LIGHTER than the B series.......

Hmm, less weight, more filling......sounds good to me.


And the lighter you make the engine the better the weight distribution and the stiffer the cage you can build for the same base weight..

You're right, I mistyped.

D &lt; K &lt; B

And I'm not disagreeing with Chad - all engines can be setup to handle well, but they will require different setups.
