I have a 1987 spg being shipped to me , This is my first Saab and even though I am a pretty decent mechanic, I am lost . I 've looked at a lot of videos of some really nice 900's. What books do I read, what size tires and rims, boost controllers, whaletails, backwards, tilted engines. I think I'm suffering from Saab search engine disease . I need help and advice from you real Saab guys out there.
I got a question, where did you find all that for your saab, and what did you do for the transmission, and where did you find that 2.3 I hear that engine is hard to find.
Question is that a GT3071R-WG Dual BB, 64AR, 84 Trim Turbine(Based upon the same turbo as the HIGH flowing, larger framed GT3071R,with the same style turbine housing as the GT28Rs/GT2871R turbos).Howe did you do the 2.3L????because a(9000 longblok)2.3L crank wont fit with the 900tranny.(the crank wil hit it)
I would love to work in that garage, nice taste in music :)

Why didnt you just take a saab 900 2,1 litre intake, instead off that 9000 2,3?
I know it probably gives some more low rpm torque, but again there is more volume for the turbo to fill up.

the turbo is a gt3071r .63 turbine/84 trim and .60 comp housing/56 trim. 2.75 inlet/5 bolt ford style outlet/t3 inlet flange.
the 2.3 is the head only/not the engine block.

That is not a 2,3 litre engine, only the old 2,0 litre engine has a 45 degree angle to the side.

@spgroadster
I guess "fit" is a subjective thing
