Saab 9-3 Stage 4 Build & Test | Pulls & Exhaust

I hope you liked the video, it is the result of spending many hours looking for sponsors who send me products and workshops that want to assemble these pieces and be recorded in the process.
Many thanks to @do88 for treating me practically like a friend and for sending me the Intercooler, Radiator and intake kit, which greatly improve performance and engine cooling.

This Saab 9-3 is my personal car, which I try to modify little by little to my liking, improving its shortcomings and taking advantage of its great virtues.
It is a Saab 9-3 1.8t from 2008, with 150hp from the factory. Original injectors (same as the aero), with Mitsubishi TD04L-11T turbo that has been replaced by the Saab Aero TD04L-14T turbo. The exhaust system is original too... same with the brakes (Brembo 4-piston calipers are waiting in the garage). There are many improvements to be made but still, I still enjoy driving this car like a little kid.
If you have any questions about the car and the preparation, do not hesitate to leave your comment.

Espero que te haya gustado el vídeo, es fruto de dedicar muchas horas a buscar patrocinadores que me envíen productos y talleres quieran montar esas piezas y ser grabados en el proceso.
Muchas gracias a DO88 por tratarme prácticamente como a un amigo y por enviarme el Intercooler, Radiador y el kit de admisión, que mejoran notablemente el rentimiento y la refrigeración del motor.
Gracias a Tallers Berma (Barcelona) por asesorarme, y ayudarme a montar todo con un trato muy profesional.
También dar las gracias a Vagspeed Barcelona por dejarme sus instalaciones para hacer unas lanzadas y poder comprobar la potencia real en un dyno.
Este Saab 9-3 es mi coche personal, el cual intento poco a poco modificar a mi gusto, mejorando sus carencias y aprovechando sus grandes virtudes.
Es un Saab 9-3 1.8t de 2008, con 150hp de fábrica. Inyectores originales (same as the aero), con turbo Mitsubishi TD04L-11T que se ha remplazado por el turbo del Saab Aero TD04L-14T. El sistema de escape es original también... igual con los frenos (Pinzas de freno Brembo de 4 pistones están esperando en el garaje). Hay muchas mejoras pendientes pero aún así, sigo disfruto como un niño pequeño conduciendo este coche.
Si tienes alguna pregunta acerca del coche y la preparación, no dudes en dejar tu comentario.
Saludos!

Tengo uno tambien, tiene 16 años y nunca me a fallado. Ole Saab ❤ pena que ya no se fabriquen .

[@do88performance]

Amazing work Rubén! This car is turning out incredible and we couldn't be happier to be a (literal) part of it! 😊

Many thanks to the entire DO88 team. It's an absolute pleasure to collaborate with you and have the fruit of your hard work in my car (literal haha) Thanks for everything!😊 Rubén.

I'm selling my 2010 93 Aero TTiD and buying a 2010 93 1.8t Monday. Thanks for the video I will be using your video for tips!

[@ibo1137]

Nice video editing!

Thanks!!

[@verstappa]

Good work there!

[@papitobaby2368]

Beautiful video

[@caractacusbrittania7442]

Im sure their is slight difference on one of the cams between 1.8t, 2.0t and the aero 2.0T. Your saab is looking really good, Quality parts and quality workmanship.

Hello! Sorry for the late reply. Yes, the camshaft is different compared to the 2.0T Aero. The 1.8t has the maximum torque at 3-4k rpm (and power at 5k) and the Aero is more progressive... for better gas mileage the 1.8t is better and for progressive/sport experience ... the Aero cams. Thank you for your comments. I always install the best quality material that my wallet can hehe. The car is also isolated with STP material and I have a 3-way Audison Thesis audio system + Subwoofer that sounds sooo great. Best regards!!

[@caractacusbrittania7442]

Real quality buddy👍

[@ccggccggggccggcc]

Muy clean, mis dieces. Tiene que ser una gozada!

Muchas gracias! La verdad es que el coche va genial, se disfruta mucho, tiene buen empuje, y además es cómodo para viajar. Un saludo!

[@David9-3]

Pedazo de curro has hecho con ese 93, si señor, que godaza ver qué Saab en España sigue vivo!Me gustaría ponernos en contacto, quiero hacer un upgrade a mi 93 viggen con componentes de DO88, voy ya por los 280hp, también gracias a AG y los componentes de origen se quedan cortos, igual me puedes echar una mano. Un sudo desde Madrid ! David

Hola David! Perdona por responder tan tarde. Escríbeme al Instagram (@rubenagudo97)y hablamos por ahí! Te intento ayudar en lo que pueda! Y gracias por tu mensaje jeje cada vez hay menos Saab en nuestro país, y aún menos en buen estado, asi que hay que mantenerlos como se pueda! Un saludo!

[@cid8905]

Oh man, woyld LOVE yo do the same on my 07 2.0T (210). How much for the upgrades?

[@werner-gunterschmidt1619]

How you get the Saab sign into the speedo light up?🤩

Using Adobe After Effects!! haha The odometer shot is a layered 3D composition. I took the opportunity to put the logo because it looked very good haha

[@Driftinnick_Aquatics]

Do88 big pak ?

[@emceha81]

How did you guys manage 270HP on stock injectors and TD04-14T? This turbo has a max of it's possibilities around 255HP. Injectors are fully open from 230-235HP. Is AFR still 1 or you will cook the engin up after some time?

Hello! Yes, it is all original, both turbo and injectors. The injectors are at 100% and probably the turbo too, I had to temporarily reduce the power to 250hp to reduce excessive consumption and increase reliability. I am planning to put Bosch 550cc injectors and in the future perhaps replace or upgrade the turbo to reach 280hp without compromising reliability. In a few months I will install a complete handmade exhaust to allow better exhaust gas outlet, because with the original exhaust there is a bottleneck and the turbo can overheat. What is AFR? Regards!

[@emceha81]

AFR means air fuel ratio. I suggest mount 550cc bosch and at least hybride turbo TD04-16TL. With all the rest (downpipe, exhaust, intercooler etc.) should give around 300HP. Good luck mate ;)

[@alienkillersvaneberg3212]

Very nice, 2 questions. Do you know if the injectors in the 1,8t from 2005 is the same as the aero or only on the facelift? 2nd question, don't you need software for the turbo or is it plug and play?

Hello! 1- The injectors in the 9-3 1.8t 2005 have a lower flow than in the Aero, in the facelift all the injectors are the same as the Aero. This allows power to be increased to 260-270hp without changing injectors, although it is recommended since they work at 100% of their capacity. 2 - The turbo is a mechanical part that always works without tune, but to increase the blow and pressure (bar) you need to tune with Trionic 8. The job was done by AG from Saabtuners, but you can get tunings from companies like BSR or Maptun. Regards!

[@alienkillersvaneberg3212]

@ aah okay that makes more, I am an apprentice but still new to Saab. So if I have a maptun stg 1 can I just replace the turbo and injectors or will i have to program them?

[@eliasjohansson8962]

I heard that the 1.8t clutch in some cases begin to slip when you tune them. How are your clutch holding up and how many kilometers does your car have on it?

Hi! My Saab has 196k right now, and 5k ago the clutch started slipping in 4th and 5th gear in full trottle. Next week I have an appointment at the workshop to change the clutch (Maptum 450nm) and the DMF (original). Greetings!

[@bilratten7042]

@ how many km did u drive with this tuning before u noticed the clutch was getting bad?

[@sebasg2435]

Buenas. No has pensado en cambiar escape por una doble salida deportiva? Estéticamente gana mucho. Saludos.

Buenas! Está en la lista si haha pero tengo que ir poco a poco $$$.... Un saludo!

[@alekseygrigorev5844]

Hello, EU question I from Russia and very love Saab. I have 9-3 2 gerenation 2008 210 horses power , on automatic transmission , we have a problem very ears with Saba as I without the tuner get more power ? Or is it fashionable to set up through you ?

Hi! Sorry for the late reply. You have the Aero version, therefore your turbo can already reach up to 280hp of power. I would recommend installing a more efficient radiator like the one in DO88 so you don't have temperature problems. For the tune, you can get it on the Maptum website or at BSR. I knew a reprogrammer who knew about Saab, Angel from SaabTuners, if you need the contact I can provide it. Regards!

[@lspd5916]

270 hp on petrol or ethanol?

Petrol!🤓

[@lspd5916]

@ what about the exhaust system? Only a downpipe with stock exhaust?

[@СережаЁ-х8ц]

Хорош

[@uemackay1592]

I have a saab and have do88 IC and AI the parts are very very expensive but very good quality, apart from having to angle grind the AI heat shield I have zero complaints. My main question is why are you tuning a 1.8? Please tell me it ls also not an automatic.

Hi! I agree with you, DO88 is expensive but in my opinion it's worth it, everything looks well built, with good soldering that will work for a lifetime. The 1.8t have the same engine as the 2.0T except for the camshafts and turbo. The denomination 1.8t has no sense because is 2 liters equally. Here in Spain if you are under 30 years old with an Aero the insurance can cost you more than €1,300 per year. But, if you have a 1.8t with 150hp, the insurance costs you €200. That's one of the reasons. The other reason is that I couldn't find any Aero units in good condition, (I also looked for 9-5), I searched for months until I found my 9-3 1.8t from a single owner, in perfect condition, parked in a private garage since the first day. I was lucky to find it. It's an amazing car! Regards!!

[@uemackay1592]

@ Well said, its a perfect explanation and justification. I can understand now why you got a 1.8.

[@Mati123xx]

Im not sure its stage4 maybe its stage 3. Stage 4 its like 300 hp+

[@smolnysmolny6269]

Откуда 270сил и 430 ньютонов на сток форсунках?
