Alot of us are pulling parts off our cars often, most of us probably have a reasonably accurate scale in our homes. It would be useful if whenever you pull a part off your car, before trashing, replacing, or selling it, please weigh it. Then post the result along with a description of the part including which type of FC it is for etc.



This shold get pinned or something so it can become an FC part weight archive of sorts, very useful for those of us trying to get our cars light without pulling everything out and weighing it.



cheers.

 

so it more accurate than "my washer bottle weighs a ton"?



mike

 

ill start..

series five turbo two..



aws solenoid .. ounces

air pump with bracket .. 8lbs

air control valve with solenoids .. 1.5 lbs



weighed with bathroom scale... not completely accurate

but better than rough estimation..

 

87-88 Turbo and manifold = 33.6lbs



87 TII wheels = between 25 and 29lbs



89-91 TII/GTUs wheels = 17lbs even



complete A/C system including hoses and condenser = 58lbs!



stock turbo 2 exhaust system = pending

 

Fc3s-pro.com has part weights.

 

I dont know about the power steering, but the A/C system alone I weighed at 58lbs. I'm guessing its close to 100lbs together?

Well, since I have no life, I took the a/c off the TII today and weighed it . I had roughly 15 lbs. for the compressor, 10 for the front cooler, lines, and 2 pounds for the little fan in front of the cooler.
