6A12 weight?

Post by Rob Furniss »

I did a search and not found anything definite, one thread saying it should weigh 180 - 200kg, anyone know the actual?
Need it for freight quotes.

Cheers,
Rob

It definitely weighs more than 100-120kg.
All alloys I4 engines weigh more than that.

I believe the 4G92 MIVEC was around 150kg or so (not confirmed) so the V6 would be a fair bit more.

There are two types of people on forums; those that give helpful advice, and the others

I sent Mitsubishi Motors Australia an enquiry and they sent it across to Japan (apparently) but have now drawn a blank:

Please be advised that unfortunately we are no longer able to provide weight information as Mitsubishi Motors Corporation no longer stock these items and replacement engine weights were not recorded.
 
MMAL trust the above is of assistance.
                         
Thank you for your enquiry.



Go with 180KG for the freight?

Ok good idea, better than over declaring I suppose.
