Weight - 13B Turbo (1989)

Does anyone happen to know the weight of the stock 13B-Turbo motor and engine accessories that came in the 1989 RX-7?

Much appreciated!
Best,
John

Around 365# with everything and wet (assuming you are asking for a US spec).

Palletted around 410#

Most people say 500 lbs for shipping purposes, but I have put a couple palleted engines and accessories on shipping scales now and they all come out around 410-450# depending on what is included.

Thanks for the feedback, guys. Trying to determine how much lighter the 13B-T is than the '75 2.7L 911 motor that was originally in the car. Suspect they are pretty comparable, weight-wise... but a 2x power output advantage goes to the turbo.

Ryan - been awhile! How's the ole Red RX doing? I tried to contact Gonzalez by email a few months back but did not get a reply. Is he still racing/building motors?
Have a V8 in my old car yet?!
