4A-GE and 3S-GE: Weight Comparison of Peripherals and Engine

by Sam Crosse (submitted 10/2004)

• I work at a calibration lab in Queensland, Australia.  I just took home our 500kg weighing standard and did some measurements.
• A 4AGE small port Aussie AE92 complete (no clutch or exhaust manifold) can no alternator bracket (up to 5kg depending on model) was 110.6kg
• A RWD 3SGE complete (no clutch or exhaust manifold, but alternator mounted) was 129.0kg
• So the 3SGE into a AE86 is 18.4kg heavier (or around 14kg heavier with factory 4AGE alternator bracket)
• The W gearbox is up to 20kg heavier though.
• Also I weighed some extractors.
• Imported mandrel off the shelf 4AGE extractors from Japan came in at 4.63kg - comparable to factory manifold if not lighter
• Custom huge mandrel 3SGE RWD extractors came in at 7.90kg!!
