    I have looked all over but can't find them...
    Does anyone have engine weights for a VR6 and a 2.0 16V engine?
    Thanks in advance.

    not sure if this is feasible but try finding out the weights for the entire cars (with similar trim and spec i.e A.C, no. of doors etc) and then calculating the difference.

    just found this out for you. The VR6 (2.8L version) is exactly 45Kgs heavier than the 2.0L 16V ABF lump.

    what would be good is if someone who is about to convert a car to VR6 would weigh it before and after in similar trim and no cheating with a big ICE and a full tank in a 16v with aircon and PAS then coming back with a stripped out VR6 with no fuel. (corner weights would be nice)
