This is super pretty! Are you going to run 2 fuel injectors per cylinder? What car will this go into? Thanks, I think Frankenstein would appreciate that. Functional art. The thought is a 2 stage injection. Use the stock injector location for low rpm and then transition to the injectors up stream at...

How did you decide which ITBs to use? Size? Features? Cost? Size wise, I figured some simple math and assumptions: 1000cc engine at 14k RPM, more efficient flowing head would be enough for a +35 year old head design, 2.1 liter at 7k RPM. Features: Robust TPS since it will be running Alpha N. DBW so...

Heart breaking for sure. Glad you are physically okay to Saab another day. My worst nightmare is stuffing a car you worked so hard on. But again this is replaceable, a life is not.

Fuel rail post/stanchion attachments. 3/4" 6061 bar stock, M6 drill and tapped and added some flair and weight reduction. Counterbore the bases so the welded area material thickness would be closer.

Get on the horn.... Velocity stacks, good fun making these. Turned a nylon mandrel to act as the die to create the horn. Working on attachment scheme, so I can swap out lengths to help find the power band sweet spot. Some say you can use two different length pairs to widen the power band? All part o...

I think the main issue was the transition from the Saab runner spacing to the narrower T/B centerlines on the Yamaha. The Suzuki maybe a similar width.

Figured I "needed" a new project and have this N/A lump with 1400 miles that needs a second life. Yamaha ZR1 2021 throttle bodies with DBW. Grafted to a Genuine Saab T5 CNC machined intake flange. Used Icengineering modeling blocks to mockup the routing and lengths. This is the same kit I ...

I’m planning on bring my 99t

Too bad with the blown head gasket. I'm sure you will figure out a new powerplant for the 99. Bring the 99 to SOC. Chi's SOC only had one "99" which was pretty much just the shell with a V8 engine RWD. Cool car, but not a true 99.
Keep us updated.

INA Hydraulic cam followers (tappets) have a plunger valve that needs to be removed to properly clean the inner well of the assembly. Pliers are not a great option as they can burr the plunger and it is hard to get a good grip. I tried the suggested compressed air or magnet, but they did not work fo...

Happy New Year John. Way to kick 2024 off with a little b-motor bang. I did a bunch of work on my 99t with b-motor last summer. She had been a garage queen for the past 12ish years.

Project update after 2 years since the last post. Not a lot to report, which is good in my opinion. No issues other than I had to remove the header, mid pipe and down pipe to pull the engine for a gearbox swap. That oem log header was looking good about 1/2 way thru the process. :crazy: Last summer ...

Nice, great to see you are still having fun with Frank.

Hello John, I have the 1st gen. New in Box. Give me a call.
