Swedish contenders...

Post by Fliptop » Mon Feb 09, 2015 5:59 pm

I promise I won't flood the forum with Saab stuff, but until I get my new Audi here's a few shots of my fast Swedish fleet...

9-3 2.8T Hirsch, 302bhp/420Nm. Very good car, if a bit plasticky, goes well too...

Image

9-5 Aero "stage 6-ish" rolling project car, last dynoed at 367 bhp and a stonking 600Nm, but a few more tweaks since then so give it a gallon of thinners in the tank to help the ignition advance up-top and it should see the right side of 400. This is its most common state, in bits...

It may not be pretty, and it may be unruly, but by god does it make you grin :biggrin3:

Image

And a more elegant beast, our 89 C900 T16S track hack, at Cadwell:

Long term Saab enthusiast & owner, now firmly turned to the Dark Side with a 2017 C7 S6 Avant...

Also in the fleet:
2001 9-5 Aero "Farting Buffalo 3" - 367+bhp, 600Nm
1989 900 T16S track hack
1975 96V4 Silver Jubilee 19K from new meccano set
1972 96V4 - 42K from new

Cheers!

Ours is for sale if you're interested?

Bear in mind it's only been used as a trackday car for the last 9 years or so though, it would be quite a job to put it back to road spec, but do-able.

The c. 400bhp/600Nm 9-5 is now for sale if anyone fancies taking on a less German project...

Open to offers around the £5500 mark, but it's worth having a chat and a look at the car before we even think about talking money.

Engine
B234R bottom end, stock T7 head with T5 cams
Abbott billet flywheel (fitted with the new clutch in the last 2000 miles)
Maptun tubular manifold, "titanium" wrap and turbo blanket
Special GT2867R with billet wheel turbo, Kinugawa actuator, 1.2 bar spring
and c. 15psi base boost.
Forge DV
Forge IC
Abbott delivery pipe
Injector Dynamics 725cc injectors
Walbro 255lph pump
BFO 3" intake pipe (MAF to compressor)
ITG Megaflow JC60/80 filter
3" Abbott full system, modified with V-band flange to suit turbo and full
3" flange between DP & centre section, Integrale rally-spec Cat.
Hard-wired for easy ECU tweakery
NoobTune stage XX custom map
Recent new genuine DI cassette (in last 2000 miles)

Approx 400bhp/600Nm...

Gearbox
Quaife/Maptun 6 speed box...Recently rebuilt with new 5th and 6th gears,
new selector mechanism and various other new parts
Quaife ATB diff
New Sachs Motorsport 650Nm clutch and new slave cylinder - less than 2000
miles
Braided clutch hose

Chassis
Eibach springs
Bilstein B8 dampers
SAS ARBs
poly all round
Hirsch/Brembo 4-pots with 330mm discs
DS2500 pads
300mm vented rear discs & calipers with Mintex pads
Braided hoses all round
8x18" ET41 Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 with 225/40/18 92W Kumhos, and 7x17 pro race 3s with almost worn out 225/45/17 Mich Pilot Sport 3s - I was planning to fit slicks to these.

Inside
Unique?? dark oak burr dash & centre panel, via Trollhattan festival many moons ago
Parrot blue tooth,
Combination digital wideband Lambda, EGT, boost and AFR readout (EGT sensor not working)
2002-on Aero electric/heated seats
Original glass sunroof

It's running really well, boost is well controlled and delivers peak Mair of 1820 mg/c and holding on to 1600+ at 5500rpm, 1500+ at 6000rpm.
Although I've not dynoed it since the last round of surgery and Karl's last mapping session, it's got to be delivering around 400bhp with that air mass, and 580-600Nm of torque.

There are a couple of things that need sorting that I'd be happy to discuss if anyone is interested
