Im still in the design phase of an open wheel one seater (play car) im stying to find the right engine and weight is a factor pref with transmission.

B16
B18
K20
F20

and if possible SR20DET

Im really looking at using a B16 but if you know any of the others (K,F or SR) please let me know thanks,
Bryan

 

The weights are listed in the Heims manual for the respective car. I'm at work right now and don't have access to my B16a suppliment Heims, but its listed in the first few pages with many other specs.

 

the k20 would be the lightest of those listed.

wow really? correct me if im wrong but doesn't the K20 fit the trans from an S2000? or someone makes a plate that makes it fit?

 

i dont think there is one working yet. there is an old photochop running around, but it´s fake. i´m sure someone will post it- you can see the chop job in the oil stains on the floor, but it is pretty good. i´m pretty sure noone has found a way to do it without a whole new bellhousing.

someone correct me if i´m wrong.

edit for reading comprehension... that was for a k20 trans on a f20 motor. i have no idea about the other way around, like what you are talking about.

 

actually I think the k20 is heavier then a B16 and possibly a B18.

 

there was a web site that had a RR transmission conversion for a Elise that would replace the crappy stock motor with a F20 or may be i getting mixed up with something else? im going to go look.
