Hello everyone, this is my first post here! I am a new first time saab owner. I have aquired a 2004 9-3 linier. I absolutely love this car so far, it's great looking and drives better than anything I have ever owned!
Like most I guess I am really big into customizing, I have read alot of the posts on here and have seen some really great stuff so far. I really have big plans for this car which will come in time.
My question at this point is considering that this vehicle has a GM 2.0 ecotec engine in it, what ecotec parts will interchange with the Saab engine? I am sure that for the cobalt line there are several performance componants, such as cams, manifolds, etc.. I know that for the Saab there are nearly zero performace parts, but I know for the chevrolet there are tons. I am also aware that the ecotec has HUGE potential, and there is even a 1,500 HP crate engine that you can buy.
I understand that the Saab ECM does not accept upgrades very well, but I also understand that you can tune that out of it! So again are there differences in the Saab and Chevy engines to the point that parts from one will not fit the other? My main concern is in the top end, cams and intake manifold to be exact.
If this is a repost I'm sorry about that, I searched and did not find anything on this, though I am sure it has been asked before.. Thanks for any help;ol;
