Saab needs an exhaust and the same mods as the Volvo. Big turbo and stock exhaust will restrict
@LivingMyBoostLife 16 күн бұрын
@stu0500 The issue for the Saab is the auto box. I fitted a B234 with a little more boost and some 630 injectors and it destroyed the auto box. It absolutely flew though!

I've owned and loved both of these (currently a 9000 CSE 2.3T/auto). The Volvo 5 cyl sound is glorious! The SAAB automatic harnesses the turbo so well, but the autobox under that much stress made me cringe!! Great match-up.

@LivingMyBoostLife Ай бұрын
Did yours have an EGR as standard? Mine did and its since been removed, I think that bump was to control flow over the EGR pipe for whatever reason.

@LivingMyBoostLife. I don't think it had an egr valve. There is a blanking plate on the throttle body. Crazy that there is manu variations of the same set up

Alright mate.. I've got a B234 and an R25-R28 gearbox. What flywheel, clutch friction plate and pressure plate did you use?

@LivingMyBoostLife Oh man what do I search?? Been mind boggled on this. Think I've got the 9000 flywheel b234, where do I find what I need? The guy who originally done this had a smaller vauxhall friction plate in a 9000 pressure plate and it worked but wasn't looking right at how it was wearing down at all. 🤦🙏🙏

So glad to hear this fire up. I’ve been on a loop thinking about doing a diesel in my UAZ, first with an OM 602 and then a VW AHU. Now I’ve come full circle back to copying yours and using the engine from my 2000 Saab 9-5 Aero. It’s already a minimum of 75 HP higher in stock form and I he ave all the parts to rebuild it so, I’d rather drop it in the UAZ than back into the estate. It’ll help with my auto overstock situation as well :-) Going to go check out your merch

I had a rhd UAZ that got dressed as a police car for ‘Charlie and Chocolate Factory’ film with Johnny Depp later given as a competition prize by a car mag. Ultra low mileage, never been in public roads really. Does it still exist? 😬

@@Hamodi-li7vi The benefit of an auto is you can keep the power between gear changes where as a manual has to lift off the throttle, change gear and then reapply the throttle. Nowadays with 6, 7, 8 & even 10 speed Autos that change gear rapidly they are pretty much always faster than a manual.
