Harvey's Autohaus · 05-21-2013, 03:08 PM

While I'm Knee deep In customer dailys, & A rustathon With the Hoff. Let me introduce my longtime pal, & fellow Saab/Chrysler mechanic HemiMAN! or Alex the GREEK as i refer to him as. He has been Digging me out of overwhelming time frames for years. Thanks man.

The mystery power steering leak was tracked down to the previous subframe installed discresion of how to torque down or locate the rear trans mount. Basically the mount was torqued down through the steering rack due to mislocation...

Harvey - you are awesome! And I never would have found the power steering leak without you!

g96nt · 05-21-2013, 03:29 PM

Why is the engine on a table?

rarelibra · 05-21-2013, 03:51 PM

It's a wheel cart - he took the engine out because it is going to get block and head work done to make way for 90.5mm Wossners.

Saabeh - I really don't know. I know that I will be at stage 5, and with the Level 10 work the trans should be in good shape... I'm not running over 500hp like some 9-5s have, but they have mostly been manual trans, eh?

TD04-19t (6" housing), regular or green giant injectors, and Maptun stage 5 (340hp).

How do you like those FSD's?

Level 10 in NJ?

Harvey will probably tell you to Mike D that bitch.

NickTurbo900 · 05-21-2013, 06:24 PM

FSD are worth every penny.

I've put two sets in customer cars. UN-BE-LIEVABLE (sound it out) As soon as TSL starts paying elders for NOOB bashing and internet based diagnostics I'll have a set in mine.

rarelibra · 05-21-2013, 06:52 PM

srp - I love the FSDs... soft for the highway ride, but stiffer in the corners when you need it.

and yes, Level 10 in NJ. They have experience with the Volvo AW55, same as the Saab - and they will supply the tables for what I want so I can adjust with the tuner for the ECU update.

srp · 05-21-2013, 07:37 PM

I've been planning on FSDs and SAS sways for awhile. Thanks for confirming everything I've heard.

Level 10 is right around the corner from me. I had one of their level 2 transmissions in my 86 monte carlo with a high stall converter many years back. If they're as good with the computer controlled ones, it should be indestructible.

You should pickup some deka's if you haven't purchased injectors yet.

Curious why your going maptun instead of one of the many experienced tuners around these parts.

Because I am already at Maptun stage 4 - why change?

Can't wait to see the final result, and, of course, throw in your ol' td04 into my NG900

Harvey and Alex are the dream team of technicians of the Saab world, IMO. They haven't let myself or my father down for years, and this just proves it.

that TD04 breathes a good spirit!

Harvey's Autohaus · 05-22-2013, 06:10 PM

It's ready to go away for a few weeks of serious massaging

rarelibra · 05-22-2013, 06:12 PM

wow... I get a tear in my eye just looking at it! Great work, Harvey!

Crank looks in good shape, and the block, head, pistons...

Saab95Aero · 05-22-2013, 11:12 PM

what pistons are going in?
