Folks,

Just wondering what year Saab stuck the fancy red injectors into the 9-5's

I have M99... 2.0lpt... any luck my machine could have them already?.

Micheal,

Michael, you can see for yourself what colour injectors you have. You need to unclip the engine cover that is secured arount the oil filler cap.

You will see imediately above the word ecopower a long silver coloured rail. This is the fuel rail on which the injectors are mounted. If you lean over and look closely you can see what colour your injectors are..

Yeah.. Ive just checked and I have got the green ones which is not a bad thing in itself as I know I have some room for improvement and some extra poke to gain by going with the red ones .

Thanks lads..

Mike the only time you would need to change to reds is if you upgrade your ecu. You wont get any benefit if you just change them..

Yep Finn, I realise that my car is running on stage 1 BSR (PPC) so I should be ok right?.

It certainly cant do any harm, you may even notice an improvement with high rev acceleration. You would also be ready for any stage 2 mods like exhaust or induction kit.:cheesy:

Im not in a situation to look right now being at work... Does the 99 2.3 have red injectors? If not, how much do they cost and where can I buy them as I am getting my PPC next week (hopefully if they ship it right this time ;oops: )

 

[dicreamio]

Thats true Finn I am going to do the exhaust when it goes.... right now the back box seems to be heading in that direction so most likely it will be a 3" cat back job .

The plan is to do all the major upgrades when things give way like exhausts brakes etc... that way it works out cheaper and more cost effective .

So I think anyway

A very sensible approach, of course you will be willing things to break soon so that you can replace them with performance parts :cheesy: I'm just too damned impatient ;oops: If theres room on the card then it must be time for shopping :cheesy:

Yes all the 2.3 eco's have the red injectors as standard, it was only the 2.0ltrs that had the green injectors.

Just looked: Anybody else who is wondering, 1999 2.3 has RED injectors, good news!! :cheesy:

Hmm my credit card took a right walloping and hasnt fully recovered . I had walloped most on a 1988 Golf GTi Cabrio with rebuilding its engine etc.. and the rest was just getting carried away.. lack disipline my ex didnt help either ;oops: she was a bad influence.

Planning on selling soon and when I get that away Im going to treat my Saab with something nice .

Til then its a softly softly approach of if it aint broke dont replace it . Im going to stick with my 95 and just keep doing upgrades on it.. that way you keep getting more out of your car rather than going out buying a new model and having to go thru the same procedure... .

Now I am confused


I just check mine it looks like they are green, and yet for Stage 1 BSR there is 2 different kits.One for 99 and 00 years and another for 2001 -02.

The 99 -00 ones give about 5BHP less.

So when I ordered my stage 1, and has I have a Nov 2000 reg car, I ask which kit to order. From the VIN they said 2001 as I had "the bigger Injectors".

But If i have green, what changed from a 00 model to a 01 model?...

Or am i just colour bind;oops:
