paradime Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 I would imagine about 12lb. lighter. I'd like to know if the L20 and SR20 had the flywheel intake and exhaust still on when weighed. I've seen the 280lb. number on the internet but have no idea what level of dress the engine was.

They should be weighted complete with clutch IMO, anything less and the data is being skewed. 2 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 Agree. Should be weighed as it's lifted out. Oil and water, alternator, fan, manifolds and carb, distributor complete, engine brackets, flywheel and clutch... complete and ready to run. The Car KAs are heavier than the truck KAs.

Jesse C. Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 I will be running the VG33E and I added the brace to my car because of it. Extra weight means extra support is needed. Plus it makes the box look cooler! Quote Link to comment
rosso Posted November 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 (edited) I figured if I was going to do a brace, better to do it before the motor goes in - so planning ahead. And I agree - looks fab. Thanks, I sent you a message too. Edited November 13, 2018 by rosso Quote Link to comment
shane4x4toy Posted November 13, 2018 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 I think this is the best version I have seen to bad technoversions.com stopped producing they had the best price too. Lets get the demand up for some one to do another run. Quote Link to comment
510T Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 I had a Design Products brace on my car for about the last year or so it was running. I was autocrossing once a month and a few track days all with 225 BFG Rivals. When I removed my steering for the JBC rack kit I noticed that the brace had torn through the shock tower sheetmetal.

datzenmike Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 Yup the brace should spread the force over a large area and have a large backing plate on the wheel side to sandwich the strut tower. While this one is very cute... On 11/12/2018 at 8:44 PM, shane4x4toy said: I think this is the best version I have seen to bad technoversions.com stopped producing they had the best price too.
