RE: Full exaust system
Wait what about a turbo charger how do those work
take a look at those as well on the website they have some cheap ones |
RE: Full exaust system
Wait a sec, isn't your car already a turbo? Also how healthy is it? How much are you looking to spend?
|
RE: Full exaust system
Yes it is turbo
I'm looking to spend as much as i can to get to 200-215 hp the rest will go to my appearance i would say its pretty healthy it has 160000 miles it currently needs a clutch slave and master cylinder that my friend will install for 35 he is in the nascar institute and the only other problem besides that is that annoying valve ticking but other wise the car is in good shape |
RE: Full exaust system
Um, I wouldn't call that healthy. I'm not too familiar with 9000's, but valve ticking isn't normal. If it has hydraulic lifters there's pretty much nothing you can do, but if it's mechanical than you should be able to adjust lash and get rid of tick. The stock turbo is plenty good for up to 250hp. You need full exhaust/intercooler/intake as supporting mods and the rest is electronics.

RE: Full exaust system
my uncle told me that the oil needed to be changed and upgraded a weight and they are hydraulic many told me its not a problem but i hate it i will do the inter cooler exhaust ans i have done intake
Apc boosting is going to be don't as well but when my friend comes to fix my Clutch slave i will ask him to tell me if the tick is a problem or not |
RE: Full exaust system
it's just common sense to make an engine healthy prior to upping the output.
|
RE: Full exaust system
Which is true but I'm just looking how much the parts will run me Atm
It would probably be a few months before i actually get the parts |
RE: Full exaust system
pick up a compression tester and run that...also at 160K your turbo (if it's still original) is probably on it way out...are you loosing any oil?
|
RE: Full exaust system
Nope not losing any oil my uncle says it needs a heavier weight
i was pretty sure the turbo would go soon but im going to find one off another Saab and run it if not im going to buy a different turbo which probably means better pistons |
RE: Full exaust system
i know some one parting out a 2000 saab 9-3
can i use that turbo in my saab 9000? it will be much cheaper |
