dirtydiesel Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I've spit this out of the 606 thread. I hope to build up a library of accurate weights for our commonly used components, when we have a decent amout of contributions i'll edit it into a sticky. First up mercedes om606 the wieght is as it came out of the car fully dressed full of oil That is fully dressed, as it came out of the car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02jcole Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I think a 300tdi is around 200kg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtydiesel Posted April 26, 2013 Author Share Posted April 26, 2013 I think a 300tdi is around 200kg Not a chance!!!! My guess is around 300kg, I can only just lift a bare block! I think a turnkey v8 will be close to 200kg I will be doing some weighing over the weekend. I'll post up some weights in a new thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CwazyWabbit Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Will be interesting to know the real world weights, make an interesting addition to this thread http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=22250 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSD Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 As in the other thread, the International manual puts the weight of the HS2.5 (same as 300tdi) at 205kg. It doesn't mention if that's dressed or bare, but it increases 3kg for the 2.8, which has the big turbo, so I presume dressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtyninety Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Still, 50kg heavier than a 300 but double the power, with the potential for 4 times the power... Black smoke and turbo whining goodness! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Dressed V8 4.0 is about 220KG, so that is VERY comparable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtydiesel Posted April 27, 2013 Author Share Posted April 27, 2013 Dressed V8 4.0 is about 220KG, so that is VERY comparable. What heavier than a tdi, as posted above. How did you measure that weight Bowie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Hmm, I didn't measure it actually, I remember it from a.n.other post on here somewhere, a bare V8 is about 200Kg, and researched elsewhere... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll post up some weights in a new thread Re TDI weight. I wieghed a 200 TDI at 210KG and a M57 at 205 Kg with a load cell. Not sure if that load cell is a calibrated one, but either way a M57 and TDI are the same weight with the ancilaries give or take 10 KG.

Bowie69 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rover_V8_engine 'Dry weight' 170Kg for the 3.5, the later blocks heavier due to the extra reinforcing, so 177Kg, here's some stats: These are the true weights of a late disco 4 litre engine, compliant with all the modern emissions and refinement criteria.

CwazyWabbit Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 ......200TDI fully dressed, 270Kg: http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=22250 (with additional sources) There is debate in that thread about 200tdi weight, the 270kg is taken from a guide for retrofitting the 200tdi in place of a TD, at least one person reckons the 270KG relates to the TD not the TDI. I'm interested to see what DD's scales say for a TDI (fairly certain he has a built up TDI sitting around as it was mentioned in another thread) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 The 270kg referred to in the 200Tdi retrofit guide does indeed refer to the weight of the TD engine. It is found within the "Engine Removal" section, specifically the instruction on supporting the engine's weight with the crane before undoing mounts etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtydiesel Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 Spent this morning weighing things I found a nearly complete 300tdi and balenced its missing components on top of it, the only things missing were a few bolts, pipes and the charcoal canister out of the rocker cover. It weighed 259kg!!! next up was a complete LT95 short bellhousing 101 type, 116kg then a LT85 with 1.22 LT230, complete except for all handbrake components 111kg zfhp22 for 300tdi with 1.22 LT230 totally complete 134kg 1.22 LT230 with selectors but no handbrake components 52kg Complete squirted 4.0 v8 non x-bolted, v belt front end, thor top end totally complete 174kg lastly was a 3.9tdi isuzu 4bd1t totally complete inc adapter plate 341kg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daan Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I measured the 300 in bits at 275, but probably not the most accurate measurement. They are a bit heavy. It would also be good to know the weight of landrover axles and toyota, volvo, mog, basically all the popular choices. Dan measuring weight of components, who would have thought that! what has happened in recent years? Daan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowie69 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 52Kg, no wonder I struggled lifting it into place on the Rangie by myself, with no ramp at that point! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soren Frimodt Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 What a great load of useful info, but what's with the weight of the V8? How come you measure it at 174kgs but other sources say 220kgs? quite a difference! I've even heard rumors that an LS1 should be lighter than an RV8, but I don't suppose anyone has an LS1 kicking about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan measuring weight of components, who would have thought that! what has happened in recent years? Daan I know i think there must be someting wrong with me! I just felt there was too many question marks surrounding component weights to make an informed choice I am going to measure some tlc 80 axles, y60 patrol and I have nearly enough unimog components to make an axle, i don't however have any rover axles.

dirtydiesel Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 Interesting to see the weight of the zu that could really **** up a trucks drivability I bet. Remember that is the big Isuzu, I'm pretty certain the 2.8 is lighter than a tdi. I will measure the 2.8 out of the jeep when I tear it down for paint. I would actually say I way most surprised at the weight of the rover v8 and 101 box, they could make quite a good combo under 300kg for the pair! If anyone has anything that would make a good addition to this thread I would be happy to post my scales to you for you to weigh it. I would be very interested in the weight of are c303 Volvo axles, std rover axles, fully built and armoured rover axles, Dana axles gm14 bolts and such Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 My info on Volvos is: Standard Volvo front axle weighs 150kg, the rear 130kg. I'd guess that going discs shaves a little off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
