Default is this right? 91 si vs 88 std hatch weight?

https://honda-tech.com/zero...56615


This thread says the 1991 si weighs 2291 lbs!

And it also says the 1988 std weighs 1933 lbs!


Well, I have a 91 si that I've swapped in a full b-series + hydro tranny and 5-lug. And I've weighed it without the rear interior: 2280lbs!

So basically, if I had done this to an 88 standard, I'd be right at 1922lbs!

STFU!!!

No, if you did that to an 88 std you would definately be over 2000 lbs.

there's about a 300lb difference between the 88 and 91 in all 4th gens.

a 91 wagon only weighs 50lb more than a 91 Si?! holy ****.

you've got to understand that part of the difference in weight between an si and a std is in the motor and trans. i'm not sure of the exact weight differences, but a d16a6 w/ 5 speed tranny probably weighs a bit more than d15b w/ 4 speed tranny. so you can save a couple hundred pounds, but eda6 is right that you'd be over 2000 for sure after the motor swap.

The reason is that they charge trucks by the weight of the garbage dumped. So they have to weigh before and after.
