Alright mate.. I've got a B234 and an R25-R28 gearbox. What flywheel, clutch friction plate and pressure plate did you use?
@philipcutcliffe9742 9000 Aero 240mm flywheel with Sachs racing 240mm clutch. Expensive!
@LivingMyBoostLife Oh man what do I search?? Been mind boggled on this. Think I've got the 9000 flywheel b234, where do I find what I need? The guy who originally done this had a smaller vauxhall friction plate in a 9000 pressure plate and it worked but wasn't looking right at how it was wearing down at all. 🤦🙏🙏
@philipcutcliffe9742 I've seen your posts on Saabworx. I'll send you a message on Facebook now
@LivingMyBoostLife oh thats you!! sick man nice one!!
SAABs are very fast cars. Trust me! I’ve seen them leave Hellcats.
Saab ❤❤❤❤❤
Supercool Van!! LOVE!!
So glad to hear this fire up. I’ve been on a loop thinking about doing a diesel in my UAZ, first with an OM 602 and then a VW AHU. Now I’ve come full circle back to copying yours and using the engine from my 2000 Saab 9-5 Aero. It’s already a minimum of 75 HP higher in stock form and I he ave all the parts to rebuild it so, I’d rather drop it in the UAZ than back into the estate. It’ll help with my auto overstock situation as well :-) Going to go check out your merch
I had a rhd UAZ that got dressed as a police car for ‘Charlie and Chocolate Factory’ film with Johnny Depp later given as a competition prize by a car mag. Ultra low mileage, never been in public roads really. Does it still exist? 😬
2003 9-5 Aero, Aisin, forged pistons, slight Stage 1… Love trolling new cars on a highway😂
What was this engine?
@@cedrictopio8161 1.1 8 valve petrol.
any mods?
@@supermantom2456 The 540 is stock. The 9000 had an ebay gt30 turbo, 630cc injectors and a full 3" exhaust.
The two most unlikely recipients of saab power ever to grace the roads. Superb.
Which was faster
@@Hamodi-li7vi 9000.
@@LivingMyBoostLife is it automatic
@@Hamodi-li7vi The 9000 is yeah. The Volvo is a manual. There's a few other shorts on my channel of the pair. The Volvo picks up quicker but the 9000 always comes passed.
@@LivingMyBoostLife ok so i thought manual is always faster but is it a bogus then does transmission determine speed
@@Hamodi-li7vi The benefit of an auto is you can keep the power between gear changes where as a manual has to lift off the throttle, change gear and then reapply the throttle. Nowadays with 6, 7, 8 & even 10 speed Autos that change gear rapidly they are pretty much always faster than a manual.
What will happen if saab with 2.3 turbo takes part in that race?
@@crispychiquita7327 It would dominate!

Hi
Memories of veing at Santa Pod for Bug Jam back in rhe 90s! ❤ 😊Changing Vrooms, for sure!
Добрый день. Дайте ссылку на покупку ремонтного комплекта
Ebay Australia. Was listed for a Holden Commodore.
hi, great videos - helping me loads with my UAZ! Where did you get the soundproofing carpet for the cab? or did you make it yourself? Thanks.
@@tomnicholson6999 thanks! I bought the sound proofing it from Uaz Liefhebbers Nederland in The Netherlands. Was about €70 I think.
Wow🎉
Well done, you make me smile.
When you put ya foot down nothing changed dude just the noise that was it😮
@@traceypotts9425 It certainly sounds faster than it is 😄 It's always been a little underwhelming for the amount of power the engine should be producing. I think that's mainly down to poor gearing and the auto box. Plans are underway to rectify both issues. I will make this van "fast"
Usually the Mustangs veer into the spectators.
😆
Beautiful stories of British good will. ❤ Taking seriously the cooking of bacon 😁👍🇬🇧🏴🏴🇺🇦❤
We met some brilliant people along the way and so willing to help a couple of odd balls in an old van 😀Breakfast is more important than winning 😆
Congratulations on completing Street Weekend. Great work. Love the van
Just stumbled across your channel, loving the boosted Commer! ❤🙏 subscribed and following. Cant wait for the next episode. One other thing, sealant for the roof perhaps?? 😂
@@franciscoflores-nunez6767 Nice to have you along 😀 Oh the roof is far too gone for sealant. Its all rotten wood and twisted metal! I've got a plan for it. Just need to find the time 😬
Good to see a classic Commer camper van being used in anger.
@Roadkill, My boosted life edition! Love it!
I genuinely loved doing remote diagnostics on this build. It was a head scratcher for a bit - but I'm so happy it's sorted and running well. When are you putting a bigger turbo on it? You've got the headroom with your injectors!
Yeah, but can the Ford carry lumber?!
The bottle opener on the 'steering wheel' is a nice touch.
@@cogboy302 Beer crate on top for fresh ones, container underneath for empties, the thing is very well thought out 😆
Quality. Those Commer vans weren't exactly known for their handling prowess, so double thumbs up for being daft enough to chuck a Saab Turbo motor into one.
Great vid. Thanks for the credit for www.youtube.com/@AcrossTheDecades
Nice man :)
Great to see the van on the strip plus seeing a Scimitar next to it :-)
@@ched999uk Was chatting to the guys with the Scimitar. Lovely blokes. Ford 302 with a T5 manual but I can't remember what the engine spec was.
Pleasure to be of assistance mate! 👍
I might do it next year 👌
VanLife...
Someone needs to let Johnny Smith know about this...
Send it to him!
@@LivingMyBoostLife wicked
You camped up just around the corner from my work in kettering. And we have racks full of spark plugs..... bit late now but call in at HiTech if you get stuck for saab bits near santa pod again.
Thanks for that , brilliant, what a van stayed together so things were good ,

nice
Some brilliant work there, mate, eagerly looking forward to the next video 👍
Great
With all those cooling fans your electric current demand will skyrocket so fitting a bigger alternator is a good idea.
The good thing with these more 'modern' engines is that they have pretty substantial alternators anyway. Not the 45amps of something feable like a period alternator. By chance the spare alternator that went on was a 120amp instead of the 90 that came off.
Might want a fan master switch to turn them off for the 1/4 mile sprint?
@@LivingMyBoostLife Relieved to hear the replacement 120amp alternator is up to the job providing enough current to drive all the cooling fans. Are you intending to make and fit two ram air scoops under Psycho Pig,s front valance, like a Scooby WRC Rally Car.
Psycho Pig getting hot and bothered on the motorway even in a compromised state, he is soo cool, down to the rust pox on the front valance. Lord Rootes never intended his Commer PB Series Van to go that fast and are you fitting fatter tyres?.
Wider but standard looking wheels are the plan. Hope to run some fatter tyres then.
@@LivingMyBoostLife Think it is a good idea, the missus will be p----d off spending the shopping money on more pram tyres . Must take Psycho Pig to the Goodwood Festival of Speed, show those snooty toffs you can have speed ,fun on a budget and do a few smoking burnouts on those skinny pram tyres.
You know how to push yourself, but you're definitely living your boost life! Fantastic work as usual, bloody love it!
Used to think you were crazy, now I know you are completely mad... some nice construction work and improvisational engineering there. Any more fans on that Commer and you'd very nearly have a hover car...🤔😉
Nice work bud!
