Hi, My name is Torsten and i live in the Netherlands. You can say i usually got SAAB on the brain and i decided it is time to share my current project with you. I love the classic 900 and got hold of a 900 CE, or 900GT as it's called in europe. The car was originally delivered in Germany and the German GT's came with an extra: a factory fitted sunroof. The car had little rust and seemed a good starting point.
The ideas for tuning a 900 started when i owned a 900S (low pressure turbo). I added the intercooler, the APC system and changed the primary gears from type 6 to 7. Fiddling with the APC got me 1 bar of boost and a lot of fun.... until i crashed it.
So what does the modlist look like for the GT? Well.. nothing what hasn't been done before but here we go:
Trionic 5.2 for fuel, ignition and boostcontrol
2.1 intake & head.
'85 exhaust cam, NA intake cam.
T8 low compression pistons.
TD04 turbocharger with 6cm exhaust housing.
chillcast 4 speed with type 6 primaries.
Saab 9000 2.3T Clutch and pressureplate.
Saab 9000 calipers (front)
At the moment i'm rebuilding the engine of the crashed 900S Aero for use in the GT.
My oldest son helped me dismanteling the crashed Aero:
And this is the GT:
In the following days i'll post pictures of the engine rebuild.
