91 Camaro
350 TPI
not sure of the aftermarket on my engine, i just put it in, it has an aftermarket holley throttle body
well heres a pic of the engine(not when it was in my car but obviously its the same) dont know what the side pipes are called? the runners? and it has flowmaster exhaust cat back 3"
i also believe it feels as if it has a shift kit



99 Saab
4cyl twin turbo
(not sure on the specs.. but obviously the twin turbo is all that matters lol)

im guessing i have no chance?


oh another question!!
the same camaro vs 99 ford taures sho(the sho has flowmaster exhaust and thats it) seems to be slow off the start anyway.. just good highway speed pickup lol
i personally think and pretty much know i should win that one

 

SLP Runners, 58cc throttle body, cone filter, stock manifolds, so thats about it i would suppose. about .2 sec quicker in the 1/4 than stock so figure a 15 sec car and go from there.

 

k&n filter inside it

 

ok, that means you run 12s in the 1/4

 

Twin turbo on the Saab? That's got to be an odd configuration for an inline. I've seen a Saab worked over with a huge turbo running 30psi boost and making 750hp at the wheels, but never seen a twin turbo Saab.

 

lol w00t i knew it would bump it up those couple seconds

well it is twin turbo.. its on his tax forms and everything, in the manual etc

 

Just to be on the safe side, the Saab is made in 1999 right? There is namely and old Saab model named 99

But still, i feel tempted to call the Saab-owner something rude. As far as I can remember there are no stock Saabs with twin turbo setup.
Both the 9-5 aero and 9-3 aero/viggen came with one turbocharger unless you have some special models in the USA.

 

There aren't any special models in the US. It's either a really custom job, or else he swapped a newer Saab V6 engine in and made a twin turbo setup out of it. If he did that, he's got a really nice setup going on.

 

since when is a 350 tpi a 15 second car? Theyre good for 14s stock

 

I raced a 1987 350 car ...it went 15.4 up here ..I went 15.1 with my 305 5 speed. He later tuned it down to a 14.7 run. He also had headers and pullies.

 

From the Line you will do well, and the Saab will play catchup
is the saab an Aero?
If it is you have NO chance at all...
It will catchup to you, they only have one turbo by the way...
If it has ANY work done to it at all your chances are Nul and void.

 

custom built saab.. yes it does have twin turbo and its a 4 cyl.. custom made then he went threw the driving school for it.. got to watch it get made the whole 9 yards
----------
yea its a custom built job
----------
i have everyone telling me different things!! the other day i had someone say it would probably be low 14's maybe high 13's
everyone has a different say

 

Then it's a Saab 9-3 Viggen. They did that (watch the making of, and going through a required driving school) for at least a couple years and you could order them with a package that had a peak horsepower of 300hp at 2200rpm and stayed right near 300hp all the way up to redline. It had a single turbo. I'd like to see a picture of the twin turbo setup if there was any way to get one.

 

hes gonna scan up his property tax and try to get a hold of a camera just so he can show everyone here

 

Sounds good

I´ve seen a few twinturbo saabs here in Sweden (home of the Saab) but most people tend to go for just one big turbo. Do you happen to have a link to the company that built his car or did he do it on his own?

As for the race, he will win. A stock Saab Aero has about 250hp and is very fast once it gets off the line. Tuned Saabs have constant problems with wheelspin due to the fwd so you´ll probably be quicker the first 100 meters or so, then he´ll pass you.

 

I believe you, I just want to see a pic of it. I've yet to see a twin turbo Saab, and I've seen quite a few. My dad owns a Saab repair shop up in Maine and wants to give me a bay working for him just to do performance and custom modifications on Saabs. I really just want to see the twin setup.

 

yea, hes workin on gettina camera from someone!!

 

Sure a stock l98 can run low 14s, but don't get your hopes up. You'll run a bunch of fusterating 15sec passes before you get it down and learn how to leave off the converter without boilin' the hides.

 

Back in the day I had a 900 8 valve turbo and that thing used to hang well with my buddys Mustang GT . Once he hit 5th I was done though .We never raced of the line I sure he would of killed me thier too . Them sabbs have a mean boost .

 

I too want to see pics of the twin turbo setup and who did it for him. The pre-03 Saabs were easy to tune and can make some huge numbers. The post 03 ones are no slouches (as long as they have the 2.0T or bigger motor), but they can't launch to save their life. I know, I have one. But when they hit about 40mph the needle just falls over. These things are at home in those "rolling races."

Get pics!
