Being a Saab nut myself, I would be extremely sad to see Saab disappear. After seeing their exhibit at the NY auto show and seeing the general interest and amazement by the Phoenix Concept, I thought they were back on track. It seems as though Saab's days are numbered now.. :(

Yes, you can. I myself have a 1995 900 SE turbo, with a TD04 ^6cm exhaust housing from a 9000 aero on it. You have to fab up a custom intake pipe and your intercooler tubes will need a bit of adjusting. The hardest part is clocking the TD04 wastegate to work on the NG900 downpipe. I myself...

The IC I have no idea why I have not done it sooner. Laziness I suppose. The 3" DP is because of money :bigsmile: I will keep an eye out for your build thread! I just cant wait till my last Exam is done to go home and start work on the new interior (secret).

It's been awhile since I have posted here, thought I should update. Put matching springs in the rear, car has settled down to a good height in the rear and the ride is much more predictable and comfortable. I have not done too much recently to the car. I added lamin-x yellow protectant over...

Well, deal fell through. Guy kind of jerked me around, I drove 3 hours home for him to then tell me the car sold, after he told me Sunday was a LOCK. It was going to be a 2000 silver 9-3 Viggen, but wasn't meant to be I guess. Someday I will own a viggen. As for convertible, perhaps that...

I am bad at updating this. Bought a set of 6000K HID's a few weeks back. Installed them with little to no issues, had to bend a pin on the headlight relay to avoid the "front bulb failure" message on the SID. At first they were... less than impressive. Once I aimed them however, I realized that...

Yeah too good to be true. All those superchip / horsepower chips are a hoax to me. I don't see how a generic off the shelf chip is going to affect fueling in a way to get any benefits out of it. Even "mailbox" tunes are all speculation on gains, as each car is completely different. Though a 300...

You could just make your own, to me 150... euros or whatever it is over there haha, is not worth an induction kit! You can fab your own up for much much cheaper... Not the best example, but this is what I fabbed up on my car. ignore the wire ties, they are merely there for mocking up to...

Thank you I appreciate all comments! And T9 yes I have heard that, and it makes sense. If I was to load up the hatch it would certainly press down even more. With 3 people in the rear and a hatch full of stuff, it would be slammed more than the front. When I go home for spring break I will...

The NG900 and OG9-3 platform has a notorious rake to the front, leaving more of a gap in the rear. I few people have had luck with intrax springs in the rear, and KONI springs in the front. Not a big deal right now, I will ride these for a while and see how they settle.

Okay here we go. Finished the suspension job last weekend. The Bilsteins are an upgrade as far as handling goes, but wow what a rough ride. I knew it was going to be rough but damn, I guess I will get used to it. On the bright side it handles soo much better than it did, night and day...

wow wayne that car is very nice. remap in the future?

I might have a switch from a 1999 9-3 in my garage, might not be worth it to ship it out however. It should work, but the sunroof switch has a one touch forward option that might mess with it a bit. Wire the pack up, and give it a go, my guess is it will work fine, as the switch just needs the...

Unlikely, I drive a Saab afterall. :bigsmile:

It is really cool. Right now we just had a nice ice storm, roads are horrible, but looks beautiful out. Just giving an update for those out there that like to keep up with this! I got the car running again, turns out the IAT (intake air temp sensor) went bad. Car no longer misses/cuts, and runs...

Hirsch is very expensive. If I recall correctly, they developed new rims that are over 2,000 USD. Why? the CF looks great, those ridges on the steering wheel look well placed as well.

It will make a big difference. I have a 1995 900 SET Coupe, and I installed the 22mm ARB from genuine saab. It was a night and day difference, the best cheap upgrade you can do. Don't go for a 19mm, go for the 22mm, it is a good balance for street use. As for the "sump", I would drop the oil...

What do you mean by compressor map? I know a lot of people who tune Saabs running T5 engine management, but no direct tuners for that turbo itself. I agree it would probably be a bit laggy with your engine, but on my 2.0 there is minimal lag. If you can get your hands on a TD04 from a saab 900...

Nice project. Are you rocking the TD04L from the preza, or are you using the TD04 from the 2.3T Saab? I am guessing it is from a 9-5, but could be off a 9000 aero. I myself have a TD04^6cm off a 9k aero, and it is a great turbo. Very reliable and can produce 300whp easy on saabs, not sure about...

You can call me Troy if you want. Um, tried the fuel pump, seemed to work great at first, until hitting throttle when it started missing again. My injectors + FPR should be shipped very soon, I hope... In the meantime, my Bilstein's are also on the way! 180 USD including shipping, not bad...

Haha well ignore my last post, all #!#!#!#! hit the fan yet again. Working on debugging it but here is the details so far. Car misses upon acceleration, and still bucks very hard. Seems to be a fuel cut, like I originally thought. Tried my spare direct ignition cassette, still does it. It has...

Alright minor update here: Suspension junk has not come yet, still waiting on the other two parties but whatever since the car is in the garage for winter. I have many projects going on with her while it is sitting there. First off I broke my BCV (boost control valve, which was thankfully...

Looks like a good time man. I would love to go to a Swedish meet over in Sweden one day. I am sure your car was a highlight :)

Hmm all newer Saabs are turbos, therefore he will benefit from a remap and tune more than internal work. Saabs usually have internals that will take the abuse, depending if it is the v6 or 4 cylinder, you should hit 400bhp on stock internals easily. Best performance gains for Saabs are a 3"...

Oh lowering is happening guys no worries there. I have ordered second hand bilstein HD's and vogtland lowering springs. 150 for the bil's, 80 for the springs! Should lower it a decent amount, enough to make it look loads better and of course handle better with the bil's! As for the clamp...

What type of 95, year - model - engine. Then I can help you.

New pictures, car is not that clean, camera skills are not that good: The car is now retired for the winter, I will drive her from time to time when there is no salt on the ground, no need for anymore cancer.

Okay, all makes sense now. When I have "T" and "SAAB", engine management comes to mind, as we do not have the performance kits you guys have. Did not mean to confuse anyone, only meant to inform. Sounds like a lot of money!! What is included in said kit?

Okay... we are different pages here. T refers to the engine management system of a Saab, specifically Trionic. Trionic 5 (T5), is what my 900 is. This can be found on 1994-1998 Saab 900, and the 1999 Saab 9-3 (non-Viggen). T7 is found on 00-02 9-3's, and Viggens, as well as some 9-5's. So...

Yeah the ribbed piping looks bad and im sure kills the flow a bit. Most 900 owners leave it on however because it is able to flex (and in my case, it is difficult to fab up a pipe to the already fabbed up intake pipe for the larger TD04 turbo... :amuse:) As for the brace, I talked to a few...

Little update I guess. Before I left for school I decided to do something to the car, so I fabbed up a new intake system with some steel, header paint, cone, tubing, clamps, hoses, and welding/cutting skills. End result was a much colder intake system that looks decent too. Old Engine Bay +...

http://newsroom.saab.com/news/news/saabautomobileandbmwenteragreementforsupplyofgasolineengines.5.6a0ed975128ec1d13f17ffe2487.html Thought I would pop in and let you Saab guys know whats going on out there. Turns out BMW will supply a 1.6L Turbocharged engine for Saab starting in 2012. The...

What resevoir? I know these cars like the back of my hand by now. I am assuming you are located across the ocean (forgot to look), but I have a 9-3 clutch if your buddy still needs it. Wayne's info is correct. 1998 900's and 1999-2002 9-3's used the same hydraulic clutch setup. 2003...

Wow T9 congrats man. Thats a huge number! Way to represent the saabs! What engine do you have in there again... 2.8 V6? I honestly cannot remember. What is the new power number going to be, i mean... you cannot stop now... As for Auron, yeah maybe it is time for a CF bonnet haha. I wonder...

Sounds good T9. What was the last figure you put down for wheel horse? I remember you breaking 290-300 on BHP. Also I forgot to add, the Genuine Saab ARB/ASB, is a MUST have for any NG900 or OG9-3 owner out there across the pond. Body roll has been reduced greatly, car feels more planted into...

Its a viggen... not a vaggin... not a veeeegan... a viggen Anyways, welcome. 300BHP? Saab 2.0's are pretty impressive motors, ask me about them I can tell you nearly everything about them by now. How many miles does yours have now? I am guessing you have done the PCV update # 6 to help...

Congrats (late congrats) Liking that LB viggen in front of you BTW. I have seen two cars with the hirsch 3 spokes, you and another guy with an NG900 vert, maroon in color.

Havn't updated this in a long time, or been on the forums in a long time. Car is pretty much about the same as before, give or take a few things. I have since popped out the dent, the best I could, it will do for now. Then I messed the car up a bit. Clear Coat peeled off while taping off an...

^ Happened to me before. I had on a brand new "unbreakable" long socket wrench, threw a bar on it, jumped up and down, snap. The "unbreakable" socket wrench, was in 100 pieces on the garage floor. Needless to say I got my money back fairly easily.

Second that. Okay well, the main things will be first researching the idea. See if anyone else has done the same, see if there was a turbo version around the same year and maybe throw that engine in the car. But if you want to turbo the CURRENT engine, you must locate a few things. Proper...
