Project Freeze My engine Off (SAAB B207R Supercharged)

[evocarlos]

It does in deed my friend

I love the writing on it 'scrap' lol

yeah due to its age it can no longer be used at work one mans junk is another mans treasure

why put it on the roof? just slide it in the back of the van, why use my car when ive got the works van!
top work carl, you will be back at courtenays very soon at this rate! im aiming for 4/6 weeks depending on getting a pre rad made.

lol or that van would be good to would of been funny to see you turn up with it strapped to the roof tho

thanks
yeah i need to run it in before hand might book it in once its in the car and running
so far i got this box



then an engine that just needs the fluids draining and the manifold removing

 

[evocarlos]

ropeing up


lifting out or trying


where'd it go


there it is


there it is #2


if anyone tells you the engine just lifts out in an astra tell them they're full of s**t from me
me and dad battled with this for 40 mins trying to get the clutch cover clear of the box ended up having to remove the top gearbox mount and the front mount and bar the bugger over

I call first dibs on your black rocker cover!! Put it safely in the bat cave ty

 

[milo]

Are u going to run the saab engine in without the supercharger fitted? Or have set to really low boost?

 

[corsaZ22se]

did you try the 2.8 pulley before you removed the engine?

i have one in the bat cave its plastic and to fit the alloy rocker cover you will need the cable tray from a car with a plastic lid

Are u going to run the saab engine in without the supercharger fitted? Or have set to really low boost?

chargers getting fitted unfortunately the boost cant be set like a turbo it can be on or off by just not piping in the bypass valve so will do that for the first 100 mile

did you try the 2.8 pulley before you removed the engine?

nope need to fit in then go and buy the right belt length as mine would be too long now

Can you not use the original coolant bottle position? I take it the Saab one is in place of the airbox?

2 systems one for the engine one for cooling the air going in to the inlet ""charge cooler""

the 1st start its a little noisy but soon went quiet after it warmed up

Excellent work Carl bet your well chuffed

 

[5M1THY]

Oh okay that's interesting. I have no set time but I want to supercharge the van I've been looking around for the parts but ill need to change my wiring looms first just for piece of mind

 

[evocarlos]

Excellent work Carl bet your well chuffed

thanks mate its taken time but im over the moon it is very smooth and the saab starter is so much better than the z22se one

 

[z22se-fan]

[evocarlos]

thanks all ive created a monster

as i fitted a new slave cylinder the clutch did not work last night also wired up the coolant pump wrong so its not getting power hence why the bottle if full in the vid lol

just been out and bleed the clutch that works its a little noisy in gear with the pedal down but should soon bed in ""500 miles""
going out now to make a bracket to hold the dip stick tube in place as it pulls it out the sump cause its just fitted in place atm
then to sort the wiring to the pump and tidy up the looms and fit p clips to hold it all tidy just all little jobs now then go for a test drive later
