Depending on model WRX. The early model wrx are quite light and with 180kw there quite fast. Had a ek k24 (140kw atw) raced my mates wrx 05 with 175kw atw (@ WSID) he pulled 2 car lenghts.Quote:

This thread is in desperate need of moderation...
Too much piss & dribble & way off topic.
Toda post the 170kw b series for reference sake in here :P
Can anybody tell me if theres a handling difference due to more weight of the k series being over the nose? I know k series is quicker in a straight line but how useable is the power when cornering? K series lap times that much higher than bseries?
Apparently not that much heavier than a B-series and handles well. This is just what I've heard, not talking from experience.
Isn't the K series actually lighter than the B series?
that was b20, should compare it with b16 for proper eg/ek weight comparison.Quote:

As I was removing the B20VTEC from my 99 Integra to install a JDM K20A with the new Hasport EG/DC K-Series mount kit (shameless plug), it dawned on me that I still had not seen any real numbers regarding the weight differences of these things. I dug out my trusty Longacre corner balance scales, zero'd them out, and tossed the motors on em. I made sure to take pictures of the scale readings, name them, save them to the pc, and clear out the camera before I did the 2nd motor. I also tried to keep the motors as similiar as possible, neither had an exhaust manifold of any kind, or an A/C compressor. The B-Series motor DID have a power steering pump, and the A/C torque mount, so factor in 5 lbs or so on top of the numbers below..
B-Series engine/trans: 401 pounds
K-Series engine/trans: 403 pounds
In conclusion, these are surprising numbers, I figured (like most I bet) that the K-Series motor would be lighter. I'll weigh a few more B and K series swaps in the coming weeks and see what else I find.
With a few tweaks to the suspension to compensate for the extra weight on the driver side, the K-series does not put off the balance. Check out the lap times for all K-series cars vs B-series.Quote:

With regards to power, my eg has b18cr struggles to put the power down under hard cornering so I'd imagine the extra power from a k is useless other than in a straight line. Even with good suspension setup I could never imagine it being useable power in the bends
Its all in the suspension setup. We have no issues with understeer and putting the power down with 280kw's. You gotta remember your foot controls wheelspin as well. A good suspension set-up will do wonders!Quote:

It's all relative. Common sense.
Add to that, it's still N/A. Power is linear, unlike a low comp turbo motor. If you're still wheel spinning after than, then you're not doing it right.
