Saab engine build

chill

Hi Neil,
Just a quick question can the brake vacuum pump be put on the inlet cam rather than the exhaust as it interferes with the charge cooler tank

chill

Cheers Neil will look at a other option,
Moving the CC tank will probably be best

this was the cylinder head I had intended to keep as a spare for my car, but I was offered a good price for it and you know how it is ...so sold it along with the new Saab sump 🙂

LSJ cams, Dbilas valve springs and all the rest is brand new Saab B207 😃

vocky

added some baffles to the sump

Where do you get the baffles from?

started up the Harrop 2.2 Saab engine today, just like evocarlos's the hydraulic lifters took a few seconds to prime, but otherwise it was lovely and quiet. It's running the Dutch software and even with the LSJ cams the idle was quite smooth 🙂

no 🙂 but it would need mods to make it run on the astra ecu

Hi all I've been running my b207 2.2 forged engine SC for around 1500 miles now and have been on a recent track day I have a question concerning the PCV
The Dutch software allows you to use the Pcv system but under higher revs I think it closes up and I'm getting deposits out of the cam cover,
I'm after a solution to vent the crank case under track day conditions,
I wondered what you guys would do if anything ??

Ps vocky the engine is a dream thanks

I love this thread and hope to have ago at something like this. Thinking the 2.2 turbo for my vec c and a lot of rendering to this to help me along with it and then a lot of threads to keep on the right track.

I put the long hollow bar back on to the bolt to the right hand side then a short pipe to the header tank

So today I made a crank sensor bracket for another Saab engine :rolleyes:

I made the bracket and modified the oil pump on my milling machine 🙂

and the mounted bracket

Can anybody confirm that studs and nuts for the exhaust manifold on a saab block are the same as on a z22se ??

Otherwise i am glad if anybody can give me some numbers.

Thanks, Christian🙂
