| The gearbox is the "stora lådan"
(big gearbox) that was specially developed by Saab's Competition
Department for use in the huge torque 99 and 900 turbo rally
cars. This type of gearbox contains all the best parts: huge
7:34 ring/pinion with ZF limited slip differential and steel
backplate, 4 chain primary with extra roller bearing, straight
cut gears with no synchros, re-inforced gear set, re-inforced
inner drivers, extended shift rod, modified shifter mechanism
and a gear oil pump with it's own oil filter and a fan assisted
oil cooler. It also has a modified and raised short-shift console.
The clutch is sintered and the hydraulic line is braided steel. |
The engine is fitted with MBE engine
management (injection and ignition) and with Trollspeed 640
cc Siemens injectors (the same as Per Eklund). The headgasket
is reinforced, and has flame rings. The head has hydraulic lifters.
The cams are stock N/A 900i cams (European). The inlet is from
a 2.1L -93. The bottom end has been lightened and balanced and
just rebuilt with new rods and pistons. The car is not fitted
with a knock sensor (with the stand-alone engine management
it is not necessary). The intercooler is a special 600 x 500
mm Scania unit.
The turbocharger is an updated Tb03 "Trim 60" with
SP3 ceramic needle bearings and a rated capacity of 350hp with
a recommended max boost of 1.5 bar (22 psi). The engine mounts
are re-inforced with Teflon and the front mount has been tripled.
The fuel system has 3 fuel pumps with filters and a catch tank.
The exhaust is initially 4" including the flexpipe, and
3" the rest of the way with double endpipes.
The car is fitted with a very short ratio power steering rack
with it's own separate cooling system.

The car has modified outer c.v. joints and special
re-inforced inner c.v. joints. The suspension has Sachs adjustable
shocks and factory rally springs. Control arms are fully reinforced
and have bronze bushings. The front rotors are ventilated. Front
brakes have 4 piston AP Racing calipers with larger rotors.
The system is fitted with an AP Racing brake balancer and hydraulic
'fly-off' handbrake. All brake lines are stainless steel. |
The car has the older -87 bolt circle
(114 mm), to have a bigger selection of factory rally rims available.
There is a comprehensive cage going all the way to the front
spring towers, including a brace between the towers. The rollcage
is made of cold-pulled seamless clean steel tubes, holding max
0.3% carbon and with a pullstrength of 350 N / mm2. The main
cage is 45 mm diameter with 2.5 mm thickness. The other bars
are 38 mm diameter with 2.5 mm thickness. Everything is MIG
welded. The bodyshell is seam-welded and reinforced.
The cage is approved for the International Swedish WRC Rally
and the same everyone is using in Sweden. The car comes with
a clean and valid swedish pro rally logbook. |
 |
 |
| The MBE engine management is laptop
programable for the ultimate in tunability and reliability.
In addition the whole electrical system has been moved inside
the car as well as all fuel and brake lines. |
 |
 |
The car weighs 2500 lbs including all liquids and ready to
go. No body parts have been substituted with plastic which is
not permitted in Sweden.
And finally the car has never been rolled or in an accident
and has no dents anywhere. |
