I am curious how much you figure an ef hatch like this would weight:

Gutted interior (Just dash)
1 Race seat
No AC
No power steering
No sunroof
b16 engine and tranny
OEM hood, hatch and glass


Thanks.

 

1500 give or take a couple hundred.

ive got a 91 hatch that i daily drive. full interior no PS no AC no sunroof. im going to the scrap yard monday or tuesday & ill have my car weighed. i was planning this to see how much my d15b2 is going to be vs the b18b1 ive got planned.

ive been told 1300 is what it weighs fully equpt minus the motor n trans. ill check monday or tues however

 

Evidently the quote button is missing now?

I'm thinking fully equipped without motor/trans = 1500 in a stock car, especially Si (moonroof). [This is me talking through my ***] = "Because stock weight is supposedly 2200, and an engine weighs about 200 and transmission is what like 100??lbs?"

 

public scale in your area the ones truckers use and weight it

 

Probably close to 2000 lbs. the interior doesn't really weigh much and you've put a slightly heavier engine in.

The engine is not 500 lbs

 

x2. im gonna say engine and trans is around 300-350. i just weighed a ka24e engine minus trans and it came in just over 350, but its an iron block and heavy as ****

 

if you start with a 2200lb car and take about 100lbs out will be about 2100lbs my old gutted crx dx was 2150

 

i think the weight of a sohc is like 200 lbs i scrapped one a few weeks ago head and block didnt get **** like 20 bucks aluminum was 10cents a lb

 

i agree i lifted my d series outta the hatch after it blew without the tranny attached. hurt like hell after but its definitely not 500 lbs. your car stripped with a b series should be just under 2k
itll still rip i promise

 

Thanks guys!

The race class weight min with driver is 2080.

Driver with race gear 160
Cage probably about 160

So if it's possible to get get an ef hatch (like spec'd in first post) down to like 1750 I will be good.

You guys think 1750 is possible or no chance in hell?

Really don't want to get into cf hood, hatch and lexan if I don't have to.

 

i think with cf and lexan you could id pull everything thats not needed out maybe even the dash and make a aluminum one

 

my correction car is supposed to be 3055 lbs stock. is my sticker wrong or am i reading it wrong.

 

^I think that is the gross weight not curb weight.

 

meh i was basically just talking through my *** earlier. There's no way an engine weighs that much lol.

 

my 88 dx hatch with just gutted interior panels and rear seat weighed 2010 lbs

 

I just had mine corner balanced and I'm Just at 2300 with full interior in an Si. With driver.

 

^may I ask how much you weight?

 

165, and that was with a 3/4 tank of gas.

 

cool thanks man.

 

You'll get better results from replacing windows with lexan.
Carbon Fiber/FRP Hoods and Hatches would shed only a couple of pounds. really not worth it unless you get them really cheap.

 

stripping your interior isnt even worth it man, its probbally less then 30 pounds, and it makes it colder and less heat stays in. If I was tryn to make my car lighter, I would go with plexiglass windows, lighter rims ect. the only major thing to strip would be the backseat. thats just me speakin out the ***, who knows.

 

I'd agree with what's said here before, glass is one of the heavier things as well as seats.

OP, why not just do this and find a truck scale.

 

No it is not worth it, gutting the interior, my 1990 CRX came in at 2200 with me in it, a b16a swap and carbon fiber hood. I weigh about 225 though, so the car itself was under 2000, but it is such a noisy terrible ride. If you are gonna race competitively it is a must, and i agree about the windows they are heavy. Have you ever removed a windshield?

 

glass does weigh a lot. almost all racers use plexi & i do think they make street legal plexi that does still reduce weight.

 

i want to know also
