February 24, 200521 yr So I looked up the weights of the engines... EA82T vs EJ205/EJ25x series EA82T shortblock is 45.5 lbs. All the EJxxx engines I looked up are listed as 110.0 lbs. Hmmm...thats a GAIN of 64 lbs.
February 24, 200521 yr Author WHOLE engines... EJ205 (WRX) is 350 lbs. EA82 is not listed as ever avalible as a complete engine assy or long block. :-\ My guess it about 100~150 lbs less.
February 24, 200521 yr OMG - well no EJ conversion for me - that is a bit much weight for me to add to my front end and expect decent handeling
February 24, 200521 yr OMG - well no EJ conversion for me - that is a bit much weight for me to add to my front end and expect decent handeling its realy not that big of a deal. with my er27, compared to the old ea81, i cant tell the difference, cept it plows through snow better now.
February 24, 200521 yr Author the blcok deisgn...and there is alot more material in the block over the EA82. Speaking of ER27....69.2 LBS.
February 24, 200521 yr Good triva knowledge but I wouldnt base many decisions or assumptions on short block weights; or even weight of long blocks. Quite alot of extra junk on a full engine assembly vs. a long or short block.
February 24, 200521 yr its not an assumption, its FACT right from SUBARU. That is NOT what I said. I said I wouldnt base any assumptions on the facts you posted.
