Was it me who said that? :P
IMO it's just a lot quicker and easier.

Yea it probably was. It seems easier, after having done it once the other way already

. At least the engine was out of the car, so it was easy because of that.

oh , that does sound a little easier , maybe i should get some of the outlaw things when i do it (they come with new gaskets for it dont they ?)

oh and sorry for the thread hijack

So close I can almost taste it.

New guy here, sorry if this seems like a dumb question.......

I just caught this, did I miss something? How does a Saab trans fit into this subject? Is it some sort of heavy duty solution or ......?

Saab 92x = Subaru Impreza

They are pretty cool. Less weird looking than the subaru versions, but still sharing all of the important parts.

Pretty common for the Saab guys to swap in the Subaru body parts actually. Also, the Saab versions are much easier to find with leather, and even heated leather.

Same parts eh, ..... dang! I was hoping the Saab was going to be some magical super auto trans that would hold up to turbocharging the EG33. Oh well, the quest goes on.......

STeeL: Breather for the crankcase, with forced induction? Sounds like a recipe for an oil-soaked engine bay.

It doesn't seem like he's going FI right away.

True. For the moment I'd just like to get it driving... I've owned it for literally years now and have never once driven it as I bought it with a broken timing belt and without a transmission. I'll find something else to do with it when I can afford the turbo parts and injectors.

I am picking up a heat exchanger out of an 04 Cobra tomorrow though

Auto trans won't work anyway. It's a phase 2

CobraJet · #**149** 11-11-2011, 07:54 AM

Would one of the later model autoboxes mate up to the engine and hold up to turbo power?

At the end of today

Pretty happy with the progress. It looks like the entire front half of the motor is nearly done. The only main thing being the power steering pump, which for whatever reason we left hook up in the engine bay... I may go yank that out.

Solved a lot of the vacuum tube issues. Don't hate me for asking this after you already posted such an awesome guide, but I just want to show you what I'm seeing on the back passenger side of my motor. As I'm OBDI I missing what I think is labeled the BPT on the picture (or I just removed it and don't remember) so I'd like to know what to do with these.

The lines I circled in orange and blue I'm assuming to go the tubes on the throttle bodies labeled R and P, though I'm still not terrible sure what to do with them. Is whats circled in red the pressure regulator that needs to be connected to the manifold nipple circled in pink?
