I think the GA16DE is about 80lbs. for the motor itself, not including manifold or anything like that. Myself and another person were able to lift it up. The GA16DE Auto tranny weighs about 60lbs. (It sux going through stock engine swaps, 2nd time now!)

CarbonBlack200 I agree with you, I know for a fact (cause I've done the magnet test, and I've been through enough GA16DE warranty problems) that the GA16DE has an Aluminum Head and an Iron Block. I'll post the link that states that information if people still don't believe us.
Thanks, I feel better nowsentra94xe said:
Don't feel bad, dho... we still love you. And believe you.
Hey everyone, I've had this question on my mind ever since I knew there was a GA16DE and a SR20DE: Why don't SR20 people like the GA16? The GA16 has VTC and it has an iron block vs the SR20 US that does not have VTC and it's all aluminum. If the GA16DE was enforced with better connecting rod bolts, piston coolers, pistons, poly/swain coatings, JWT cams, wouldn't it be stronger/more durable/a flatter, stronger powerband/more powerful (if turbo'd, built, SuperCharged, or NOS'd) than the aluminum SR20 block? What do ya'll think?1 - 3 of 3 Posts
