For track days / 1/4 miles.

Anyone done a similar thing or have advice?

Thanks

ho ho

its been done before

 

Has it, by who?

I'm not trying to be the first to do it - just wanted advice on what and how to do it successfully?

 

vroom, vroom, BANG, sizzle......

A small squirt of nos will be ok ........

but you will get carried away and it will end with a bang and a puddle of black stuff under poor old saab

 

May be worth asking on one of the Saab boards:

I'd have thought there'd be a yank whose done that somewhere

 

Forgot to say - there's a Saab 9-5 650 BHP 700nm torque running on NOS:

Was going to go for a 100bhp NOS kit - noswizard.com offer an engine warranty of £1 per bhp increase, £100 to warranty my engine isnt that bad.

 

http://www.tsl-motorsport.co.uk/ also specialise in Saabs. Might be worth giving them a call.

thanks

look out for some saab parts in 'for sale' very soon

 

Anyone know what a safe level of power for the drivetrain would be?

Its a 1996 (N) Saab 900SE 5 door turbo with standard 185bhp

 

Ask on www.saabscene.co.uk

The gearboxes have always been the weak link on Saabs, though, and I don't think you'll get too close to 300bhp without knackering it.

IMHO forget the NOS, there's plenty that can be done with APC / turbo to get it up to 250bhp, and it's "proper" power too

Definitely spend money on shocks/springs & a steering clamp from Abbott if you haven't already to sort the nasty NG handling

 

Took the liberty of asking on your behalf

You don’t need to add NOS, the Saab engine can take a lot of boost. I also have a 1996 900 SE and it’s putting down 230 wheel hp, I can hold 25 psi and spike to 30 psi. This putts down a torque spike of 280-300 ftlbs. The tranny has been handling it fine. The clutch has only slipped once and that was at a drag strip. Check out my website for lots of info.
