Tuned 9000 Database
While constructing the shopping list for the big turbo, I came to realization that it would be great to have a database of sorts where people with the tunes 9000s would basically fill out the info on what exactly they did, what they are happy with and what they are not. First I think this would be great for people who just got a 9000 and want to tune it. Second it is great for all other tuners because this way you actually know WHAT works. And I think this can be better the sites like CarDomain because we can make it very specific. So, Ill make a form and fill it out, and anyone who thinks this is a good idea can just copy it and fill it out themselves. Feel free to add anything.

Best mod: they all are good  Cant decide.Worst mod: Well, the zimmermans have REALLY small cracks around the holes. THe breaking is great though. I tried to make it as comprehensive as possible. If anyone sees any holes, please fill in. Thanks, Klim

Ok - Here is mine to kick off the idea. I like this specific list as you never see it exactly. I've added brake pads, lines, fluid.

Horsepower range: No idea. 385bhp crank? Aiming for 400ish with mild cams. Best mod: Line in for ipod. Worst mod: None. Spent too many hours checking everything. For real bhp, should have bought 264 cams instead of tubular header. Last edited by skint; 09-10-08 at 08:33 AM.

Have updated mine with fuel pump and injectors.
Suggest that future plans are banned as anyone can make a list of goodies they want. Actually making, buying, fitting is another matter. In fact - I don't have my cams yet so they should be removed!

JAW wide band decoder - cheap and cheerfull but a bit sensative wide band lambda fitted into downpipe next to the flexy Catch tank engine breather remove throttle body hot water circ. and heater plate Horsepower range: 350 crank last dyno, target is 370 Best mod: harmonising the bits you have, T5suite has got to be the best development to enable this, but overall its the engine, built like a brick **** house next mod fit LSD, 3" TIG inlet and allards IC,

Model: Saab 9000 Aero
Year: 1995 Turbo: Holset HX35w w/16cm internally gated exhaust side Pistons: Stock Rods: stock Crank: Stock Block: Dirty...and Stock Head Bolts: Stock, new style Head Gasket: Stock Head Valves: Stock Head work: Stock Valve Springs: Stock Lifters: Stock Cams: Stock Exhaust Manifold: old 9000 T3 style with 1" spacer between discharge and the turbo (otherwise the compressor hits the manifold  )Intake: 2.75" Aluminum tubing from IC to TB, Silicone couplers and T-bolt clamps as well Downpipe: 3" made by me Exhaust: 3" made by me - one stainless muffler in the rear Intake: K&N drop in w/ holes in the airbox Blow off Valve: Forge 001 Wategate/WG actuator: Internally gated turbo, Holset 19psi actuator Intercooler: CX Racing (china made), big bar and plate core, 3" deep, other dimensions about the same as stock. ECU tune: Custom mapped with T5 Suite MAP sensor: Stock Boost Control: Currently running base boost, but I'm wired up for T7 BPC valve Turbo Pressure: 19psi (1.3 bar) at the moment (base boost) Torque mount bushings: Poly Bottom mounts: Stock - probably failed  Oil: Shell Rotella T 15w-40, changed often! Fuel Pump: Walbro 255, type 341 Fuel injectors: 630cc Siemens Dekka Fuel Rail and Lines: Stock Flywheel: std Clutch: spec stage 2 Transmission Gearset: Not currently broken...and stock Transmission LSD: Mmmmmmmm, nope Tranny mount: poly Gear shift lever: rattles a bit - its stock Oil: Penzoil Synchromesh Front Brake Discs: Brembo, stock size, blank face Rear Brake Discs: Stock Front Brake Calipers: Stock Ate garbage w/ EBC Redstuff pads Rear Brake Calipers: Stock Ate garbage w/ Axxiss Ceramic pads Suspension Shocks: Bilstein HD Springs: Jamex Strut Brace Front: none Strut Brace Rear: none Sway bar front: Ssssssssssssstock Sway bar rear: Stock Bushings: Poly Wheels Brand: Stock SuperAero or Ronal ???s Wheels Offset: Hmmm, have to check! Bolt pattern: 4x108 Hubcentric adapters?: Hubcentric spacers needed for the ronals Wheel Size: 16 Tires Brand: Dunlop Dizezza Dz101 and Falken Azenis 615 Tires Size:225/50 16 and 215/45 16 respectively Other custom mods: Not a whole lot. Schroth 4pt harness, a bunch of DOM steel tubing for a nicer harness bar and rear chassis bracing. Removed all AC components, removed all sound deadening + rear seat. Also an Innovate wideband to be sure I'm not leaning things out too much! Horsepower range: was 270whp and 320lb.ft (at the wheels) before the big turbo and injectors were installed. I'd assume it's well over 300whp now. Very fast up top, not as fast down low. Best mod: (Also the worst) is the big turbo. Its really fun, and out of hand, but at the circuit track I don't think its as usable as the smaller TD04 I had before. next mod: More tuning, getting the T7 boost control valve 100% functional and adding more boost to the equasion! After that, I'll need to think outside the box better brake and suspension solutions. Also, after having driven a very lightweight 9000 I think I'll scrap a bit more of the interior and lighten things up about as much as possible.

Worst mod: Anything I break when trying, what I foolishly think will be, " a good idea" ... Oh, and the 6" flexible ducting for the filter. A bargain from BnQ.

May look longer term into non-turbo gearbox for closer ratios... Til then - Just keep enjoying thw Saab
