Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

10 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Any one know offhand approx weight of the 2.7L engine for 2004 Boxster? I am going to be replacing those with Electric Motor, batteries and other parts in my conversion and would like to know how much weight I have to play with... Other parts (that have significant weight) that I will be not using are: Gas Tank (therefore no fuel!) Exhaust system complete with cats and all Any one who has shipped these parts may have the information. I will be able to weigh the exhaust system and the tank when I take it out but cannot weigh the engine easily... Unfortunately I missed on taking the car to the scales before I started taking things off to compare the before and after... Thanks for your help.

POST 2Original post

According to the workshop manual, the engine weight is 188kg (178kg tiptronic)

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Martsink. That helps. I should be able to weight the other items. 188Kgs is ~414 lbs. Not a whole lot to work with for me as I decide on the batteries I need to put in. No wonder it is a challenge that everyone who is converting faces...

That's a pretty cool project. Are you going to start a build thread?

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yes, I will. Shortly... Thanks.

POST 6Original post

What is the weight of a full gas tank? It should help your weight budget. Water is about 8 lbs. a gallon. Assuming gas is similar, you have ~125 lbs from the fuel. Add the tank, fuel pump and sending unit might get you another 20 lbs.

POST 7Original post

I read somewhere years back, Car & Driver I believe, that gasoline weighs 6 lb./gallon.

POST 8Original post

Quotes source post: 445417

Correct! I use 6.3 lbs/gallon to calc fuel weight for my race car.

POST 9Original post

Very good info. I was just giving a guesstimate as I figued it'd be close..

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I also found a reference to 6.25 lbs/Gal. So, considering about 17 Gal tank it will be about 106lbs for the fuel. Say about 20 pounds for the tank(?) makes both around 126 lbs. for the tank and fuel...
