4b11t billet block and head
Could you post the weight difference between the OEM block and head and the billet versions? I've not been able to find a direct comparison.
We are looking at about 68lbs lighter plus alot stronger. Material is made of Alumec 29.
Elmerracing.com is throwing in a custom billet valve cover. Hopefully this block and head will live up to the hype. I don't want a 12k paper weight.. lol
Add lightness! Colin Chapman is smiling.

Dsportmag.com will be doing the build. Hopefully you can read this article in the magazine.
I bought this setup in hopes that this vehicle will become a D garage project car.
thanks, Victor Nishimoto

Nice!
the block is around 68lbs lighter. The material used is alumec 79. Don't know about the billet head.

Hell, a 4g63 iron block is 95lbs. You wouldn't even save 68lbs making a billet 4g63.

To me if you're to invest that much into the engine it should be on rotating assembly. You'd see massive weight savings by engineering a titanium crank and rods and the performance gains would be noticeable compared to a billet block. Enjoy the build though, who am I to say where you spend it!
Edit: the only way you'd see measureable difference would be to have the block be machined from magnesium. That'd legitimately halve the weight. However it seems you've climbed to the highest point in the tree to grab the smallest apple. You'd be much better off spending the money on any rotating mass in the car. You'd see a bigger weight change from an inconel exhaust manifold than this block. Spending that money else where could have saved you a conservative 90 pounds to include rotating mass.
