Very well done ! Beautiful job congrats. After 48 years as a Mechanic and now retired, I'm just starting to restore my 1999 SAAB 9-3 lightning blue Viggen ! I can't wait to finish but my Father always said that nothing good comes from rushing so i'll take my time.
@V M it's not really a purity build, he build it to get great power out of a little 4 cylinder. Built 9-5 aeros will out roll race tuned c6s cameros mustangs stock r8s and huracans and so on, they're really quick third-fourth
Man how much I love the sounds of the tappets on the first startup for 5 minutes lol always always feel like the car is stuffed! The silver nana :) Have you done the ecu tuning yourself? T7 suite is always so rewarding :)
@@JonasKakarikas I will this would be my first project and I’m not sure what I’m doing cause it dosent run bc I got in a head on but i jusy feel like this car has so much potential
Jag ville bara säga stort tack för att du ger liv till en så fantastisk fin bil! Din saab ser ut som min dröm Saab ska du veta. Tack för allt från en äkta Saab entusiast.
Thanks for the offer Janaus, I'll try to be in touch soon, I'm owner of a Saab 9-3 2000 model turbo and I'm working on getting some upgrades done as and when I can afford it, and when I'm able to find the parts..... Currently I'm searching for an affordable performance manifold, perhaps a tubrical one, but finding it very difficult to find one that meets my requirements.....! If you have any ideas, please let me know. Hope to talk soon. Regards Leo
Hi mate, could You tell us how is the performance of this car in comparison to 2.0 9-5 NG You recently tuned? both have similar power as I recall, both are FWD. Any traction improvements on NG?
Did the car end up in denmark? Im pretty sure i have your wheels in the basement... 🙈 they are going on a 9-3 this time😁 i searched your videos, couldnt figure out where the car ended up, before i bought the wheels?
Jonas, maybe You could check one day with draggy what 0-100 times are possible? I'm really interested how FWD car with such power can handle a good start, and what results we can achieve. Thanks!
Hey new sub. Great video mate. I just bought a 2004 95 aero same as your factory color, but here in the states. Can you please recommend some sites forums and good aftermarket sites. Thank you brother
Hello, me again, have a question please, got a stock b205r 2002 93 4 gear auto, what upgrades can I make till I hit the internals limitation? dp + exhaust, cobra and turbo? thank you
Its a B235R in the car(T7), i used the piston and rods from a B234 (T5). Pistons needs to be Machined 1,1mm to fit. I have detailed videos on my channel for the whole build
Thinking about doing this with my 08 9-3 aero.. Can't find any exhausts for it, and I can't weld lol. What would you recommend in maybe say a first step power additive? Love your build man! Keep them up!
Yep....ECU upgrade ....I went for a stage 1.....but will eventually go stage 3. The SAAB existing infrastructure is good for close to 400 hp just with an ECU upgrade alone, I have been told; Big enough turbo, air filter, and exhaust system.......depends on your budget. For a single turbo four cylinder saloon car, these cars will keep other,very expensive cars honest in the performance stakes.
I had 2003 model. Good car and speed until you take corners at speed and shit yourself because back end gets too light, I suppose that will be the Cavalier / vectra underpinnings causing that lol. Better car then Vauxhall Omega which I also owned
Sadly soon all combustion cars and trucks including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Car washs will be forbidden too because they are climate killers, now they want to slow down all the gas station pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime.!!! (BABVVEN & TEBBVEN & BEFVO laws)!!!!!
they have been saying the same shit for the past 30 years. They won't ban ICE with petrol unless they can find a suitable replacement for it and atm there isn't any because even electric cars are charging on gas/coal powered power plants.
OMG Jonas, I love your work, you are amazing, then you kill me with your yellow colour and it's not the first time. It's such a 70's Love Bug colour. Why don't you put some pasley stickers on it and a Scoobie Doo in the back seat? Maybe we can get you some help, you could talk to somebody. 😁😁👍👍
Montecarlo Yellow is one of the most Epic oem colours ever produced on a Saab 😉 the way you associate it says more about you than my choice of colour 😂😂
Thats why all opel owners swap there cars with Saab engines and parts 😂 Saab did everything different, probably part of why they dont gets build any longer 😉
