saab 2.8 v6 turbo

[Sloth]

apparently this is the same as the x25xe but with low comp pistons and a garrett turbo.
any 1 got any more info, and will the turbo fit the other v6's?

[Mark Beeson]

Saabs 9-3's run the same chassis as the vectra. So any saab engine in theory will fit any vauxhall ( nova :D )

250bhp out the box, and 90% of its mahoosive torque is available from 1500rpm.... 8)

Gooooooooo on someone do it. My mate works a Saab so loads a gen from him

[Tazzy]

well saab and vauxhall/opel are all apart of the same family arent they? GMC (General Motors Company) its like daewoo, it bought some drum bearings, and they made by daewoo!

i also work at SAAB the 2.8V6 Turbo is a very fast and good engine. however i dont think it will fit in a nova. when they put this engine in a 93 it is well compact and very tight. could be quite interesting tho lol

Anything CAN fit anything !

I have a saab 9000 2L 16v turbo the car is on a G plate me thinks. With this new information would i be able to fit this engine in a nova/astra??

Saves me buying a let 4 me track day car... :lol:

its only the more recent saabs that have taken the GM platform, so id assume the 9000 engine is a completely different beast... but saying that all you need to do is get some custom shafts made up and anything will fit in anything (as mark said lol)

[Mark Beeson]

Mint some wants to do one. It would be a first . Not many of those left where novas are concerned :lol:
