Hi there, my 2001 Saab 9-5 is one of the last pre-facelifts, equipped with the 4-speed auto trans box. Now I have the opportunity to acquire a 5-spd auto box, but I have the dim feeling that it's not done with that as I do need also the ECU, controllers, instrument cluster, probably the ABS...

Hey all, I’m looking at an 06’ 9-3 aero with the 2.8 and auto trans. I’m wondering if I can manual swap it using the trans and all parts from a 2.0 car? I’ve got an 04 aero 6 speed and I was thinking of using the manual components for the 06’. Is this possible? All info appreciated thanks!

Hi All, I'm hoping someone can educate me on ECU swapping. Background I have a 2005 9-5 Arc, which I understand has the same engine and TD04 turbo as an Aero. I picked up a 2004 Aero ECU and I'm prepared to have it married via a Tech 2. I was recently informed that this swap may not go as...

Hey guys, I'm new to the Saab community and also new to this "Saab Driving Lifestyle" . (And my apologies for this long *** post but I wanted to cover everything) I own/drive a manual 2003 Saab 9-3 Linear. So.. the clutch was slipping when I bought it for $1200 with 114k miles on it, But wasn't...

Hey all, I'm looking to swap the stock turbo on my 2.0t (L motor) to a 14t from a 2.0T model. I read somewhere in another forum that it'll bolt right up utilizing the same hardware. I just want to 1) make sure this information is accurate and 2) see what else I'll need to complete this swap. I...

Hi guys, first post here. Not sure if there is much info out there but how difficult would it be to swap the 2.8 v6 into a 2011 9-5 vector (obviously built with the i4)? Does anyone know if people have done this or have any helpful info in this regard? Thanks.

recently i picked up a td04-14t for my 04 9-3 LINEAR(2.0t), i planned to to go with the siemens deka 60# but ended up finding a 07 9-3 2.0T in the junk yard and snagged the injectors off of that. I swapped the injectors off of the junk car on to my linears fuel rail, but came to realize these...

Hello All!, I am on the tail on of my automatic to manual swap. I have/used an 02 Aero donor car for all the parts(gearbox, clutch, linkage, etc). I put everything in (including the manual gauge cluster), jumped the NSS, and car runs and drives! Then, the electrical gremlins started....the...

Hi and thanks for looking, hopefully a guru or two can help me out here. I'm aware that N/A to Turbo questions are common but my searching didn't return easily digestible results. --- I thoroughly enjoyed my 96 900s before it was totaled and would like to have another. Looking through...

Hey Everyone, I could go on and on but its getting late. First and foremost a brief description of what happened. I live in Colorado and it's winter. Letting your car get warm before you drive has been burned into my brain. Long story short it was the first really cold days of winter...

Hello. I'm new to the forum. Thought it would be a great way to reach out to Saab fanatics. :D The project I'm currently working involves swapping cylinder heads. The donor car being a '03 9-5 Aero that overheated (I know what I'm getting into), and the project car being a '03 9-3 SE...

Out of curiosity, how much work would it take to put a 205/235 into my 9-3? The engine would be coming out of a 2001 9-5 wagon, seen here: http://tucson.craigslist.org/pts/4725653256.html. Looks like it says ecopower on the valve cover? I don't know whether it's 2.0 or 2.3 or turbo or not. Just...

Because the apaulstry in my beater 900 is so much better than that of my 88 900, I want to swap. The main problem is that the 88 is manual and the 94 is power. I expect a wiring marathon, but initial inspection reveals a slight variation in the seat brackets, therefore the floor pan and how the...

Hello, I've found and read the Auto to Manual Conversion PDF doc that's available on the C900 tech forum for performing the swap on a C900 (obviously :roll:). While I understand the fundamentals would be the same to do the swap on a 99, is it as much of a bolt on conversion on the 99 than on...

Gentleman and ladies... Need Tech2 out on the Island for ECU flash for B207L to B207R (wtf) engine swap/upgrade..... Let me know if I may be lucky enough not to have to bring this thing over A bridge to get it programmed. thanks all. :o

Hi all! This is by no means a serious question that I plan on doing now, but for future reference, I was wondering if it is a good idea (or even POSSIBLE) to swap out the 2.0t engine I have in my 2003 9-3 Cabrio for a bigger engine. I'm not looking into a huge engine like a V8 or anything...

I'm in the process of swapping a working Garrett GT17 from my 9-5 Linear for a TD04-15T and I thought I'd start a thread to share some ideas and ask some questions. The car has about 88,000 miles and has had most of the major stuff done already. Apparently there was some sludge in it way before...

2001 Saab SE Convertable w/auto trans. Victim of sludge. I just bought it 3.5 weeks ago. Saab Specialist here in Seattle, WA wants $3000+ for new (different/running) B205R engine in it. Can I swap a B235R T8 engine T8 into it, without too much complication. It seems the B205R is a more...
