Installing the Motor and Transmission in our Project Saab 9-3!

[@23tlujan23]

It’s always that scary moment of truth when you do all that work and it all boils down to the turn of a key. Great that you guys were able to figure it all out. Can’t wait to see more!

At that moment Auto autopsy and Saving saabs Lucas CHI got activated and that speed like the flash It looks like my Saab but mines convertible. .. great job ..

[@davefry42]

wow thats some serious open heart surgrey , well done

[@user-nw7kf6nl2y]

First start is so relieving 👍

[@barrybrocksmith6515]

Great work guys…Especially overcoming some of the obstacles!

[@zforczek8653]

If not for the wrong starter, it would have been a first crank start. Great job guys! Love the blue lab coats. Next time throw in some black frame safety glasses and pocket protectors for extra giggles.

[@jondupass1652]

Hey I need some tips on what I gotta do for my 2007 saab 9-3 2.0t looking to get a after market exhaust and having trouble finding one any ideas?

[@Speedsnapcreations]

Idk how possible it would be to get hold of some in the USA but some Astra OPC wheels would make the 9-3 look really good 👍

[@GTsGarageTech]

Sweet! Is the transmission plan plastic or just painted black?

[@MarkAlanKing]

very cool ...

[@eimantasdziovenis7257]

would it be possible if you put v6 saab engine in saab 9-3?

[@thackerybrown2860]

there are Saab 9-3 that come with V6 (2.8L) engines

[@probablywrongagain2151]

Was that motor from a 2011 T or t? Looks like your car is a lower case t and I've been wondering the degree of interchangeability if I keep all the original wiring. Great channel!!

[@AutoAutopsy]

Thanks! anything 2006+ is a big T. This car is actually also a big T (TD04 turbo) but for some reason a previous owner must have changed the badge. All you need to upgrade from little t to big T is the turbo, injectors, and a tune. the engines have minor differences but nothing major

[@luj0]

Hey, I am planning to put 2008 2.0T Hirsch tuned motor in 2.0t 2004. Do you know the difference in wiring between them?

[@AutoAutopsy]

They should be the same, if not very similar. You’d need to consult Wis/wiring diagrams to confirm though

[@luj0]

@@AutoAutopsy unfortunately cannot read them, need to find someone who can, thanks!

[@GenocideNHarmony]

What transmission did you use for the swap

[@AutoAutopsy]

A factory one out of another 9-3

[@Herblegreatness17]

Need help, my saab 93 2004 aero 2.0 engine floods when I turn the car off and when I turn it back on it either won’t, or it will start shooting white smoke and won’t clear or run right unless I clean sparks. Anyone know how I can fix this issue? Is it the ECM? Or something els?
