Where I can get this Matt D custom splitter?
What is a "T5 valve conversion"?
Man, that what's up!!!!!!!!! Love the whole project!!!!
You forgot the total of the lot, the list if you will. Care to share the price spent on the mod list? Not your wifi bill spent typing the comprehensive list but the bill for the entirety of the mod list you’re using on your 9-5.
@@Aube installing t5 valve guides and valves into a t7 head because they have thicker stems better for stiffer valve springs.
BBS actually collaborated with Saab back in the 90's. Funny to see this video and this is a completed street car of Saab. Cool on this level!
Yeah! Super cool
I just got a 2000 9-5 wagon with the bbs’, they’re really nice
What a great video. Almost every time he said a car-term he followed up with "For those who don't know: " And explained exactly what it was. Very interesting to learn.
Yeah! He did a great job explaining it all. Glad you enjoyed that
i only ever see 9-3s, so good to finally see the 9-5 getting well deserved appreciation
👊🏼👍🏼
Said the same thing when I first bought mine, then I see them everywhere lmao
Absolutely brilliant! Love big turbo built Saabs!
It’s super cool!
That thing looks so sick!! Makes me want to grab an OG hood and vent it for my Viggen.
Such a great idea for all that heat!
Love hearing those tires start crying when the boost comes on. Nice whistle and shriek.
Congrats on building that monster!
Hahaha, they scream like hell for sure
That is a sweet car. Didn't know he moved. I have had the pleasure of taking a few drives with him here in VA. Cool dude. Love that car.
Yeah he’s extremely knowledgeable and has been super helpful with my 9-5!!
I totally want to build my 9-5 out like this! I have an 02 Aero aswell!
Nice
Oh my god! That color is the exact one I'd like to paint the 9-5 I'm looking at if I buy it! Absolutely stunning car.
It’s pretty sweet!
Well, looks like I'll be getting a new turbo. Have a 19T with forged pistons so I might as well get it done.
Nice!
I've got a 2001 9-5 Aero. 225k miles on it and still hanging in there. Turbo is Ebay special and works great.
I just got a 2000 9-5 wagon with the bbs’ love these
That is a well sorted saab,
Powerfull, aesthetically pleasing,
Love that he sorted suspension,
Bushes and mounts, to lay that power down.
Well done to him.
🙌🏼👊🏼
What a great car. I love the color and especially the whole front end FX. I miss all our 80s 900s. Wonderful cars. So many memories I have of them. Our favorite SAAB was the 1979 99 Turbo. (4 dr with Hatch). 4 speed manual. Tons of turbo lag! ha! But the whine of that Turbo and how that car handled was so enjoyable.
Bro I love this car my dad had a 2007 twin turbo stock I love this car so much I'm looking to buy a saab when I'm older
I clicked for the forged BBS RS-GT wheels. A conservative yet respectable choice of BBS wheels.
But I stayed for the build. It looks great, and has the power to back it up. Now if it gets to see significant track use, it might need some better brake pads.
👊🏼👍🏼
Holy shiiiit! Amazing :D I'm a swede, and I approve!!
How beautiful this car looks😍. Great respect for the owner for the work done.👍
:)
The owner looks a bit annoyed and worried everytime you floor it haha.
That engine bay is beautifully clean and organized. Well done.
Nice video!! I have an 04 ARC that is in process of a build. Beautiful car and amazing build!! Thank you AA for doing this video!!
Awesome. Happy to help and inspire :) lol
@@AutoAutopsyquestion. What transmission is he using? The new bm0055 I think it is or the older 5-speed fm50 it may be. Not sure of the actual part# but I think they’re close. The newer trans is supposed to be heavier duty. The old trans seems to blow gear with that mush power. Just curious.
Man I wish my 9-5 was like that. Absolutely love these cars. Shame they’re dying out. 😞 I wanna keep mine for as long as I can I don’t care what I gotta do.
Use it as inspiration!
@@AutoAutopsy for sure ❤️🔥 I appreciate the video. It’s an amazing looking car. ❤️🔥love your channel too.
Thanks for the support bro!
Not to mention 3 people in the car add about 400 lbs so it could be faster, trying to make a saab race car, with gutted interior lightweight seat, it’s basically naked inside, got rid of all AC parts, taken about 600+ pounds off the car also with no AC compressor had to get a smaller belt added a bit of power there, 2003 saab 9-3 arc manual 👍
Mesmerizing...... Congratulations for this video.
As a car youtuber from Sweden this makes me proud since I showcase the swedish car scene and also do car reviews, car meets and my own project shitbox :D
Have done alot of Saab's on my channel as well and more are coming :)
Like this video alot since that Saab 9-5 is so good looking :D
👊🏼👍🏼 thanks
@@AutoAutopsy no worries :)
Wish you a great week!
The genuine Saab shifter isn't actually a short shifter, it just cuts down the shaft without shortening the throw.
I Love Saab i had 2 , One 900 and One 93 turbo . Im Swedish live in Sweden , great car!
Nice!
Delta Blue! My favourite blue colour!
🫡🙌🏼
Omg I love that Saab 9-5. Mine is a 04 Saab 9-5 arc turbo. Would love to have mine at LEAST look that good. Man I’m jelly
Nice!
Love that an American driving a Saab, looks like a Swede :D
:)
Mine is an 04 arc, lowered on st springs with an intake and a huge fmic, close to 300hp, man does that bych pull!
Nice!
@@AutoAutopsy gotta get it back from my folks crib when I have more space though, haven't driven it in 6yrs tbh, started it 2 and half yrs ago though, love the whine of the engine.
Lookin good Jonathon! We miss that car back here in Va.
It’s getting plenty of love out here in AZ! 😁
She's got a Hurst speed shifter with a pool ball grip!
Huh
Just bought a high milage 02 for a daily, can’t wait for somethin to pop to start tossin power at er lmao
Wow that is amazing.
👊🏼👍🏼
HOLY SHIT THAT THING LOOKS NICE!
RIGHT?
@@AutoAutopsy YES
I have a 2006 97x I love it nice ride great
😂👍🏼
Nice raw look, rear very clean perfect pulled and stretched already from factory ♥
🔥👊🏼
Just getting into Saabs love to see them modified
This one is one of the best!
9-5 Very cool!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
😁😁
My first turboed car its fun 😆
🙌🏼
Cool vid. The hood Looks like something I'd do with my Saab.
It’s super unique for sure!
Beautiful car. Helluva sleeper
For sure!
Sweden in the house, glad he's representing!
👊🏼👍🏼
Damn! Love that. It looks and sounds meeaaan!
It does!
Where are the custom floor mats from?
Very nice 9-5 👏👏👏
It is! :)
Hi,thanks for the video take care out there
Would I be able to swap the g30-660 with a g35-900 with upgraded injectors
Hey! My ‘06 Aero has a bit of an engine shake mostly only when idling in Drive. When I put it in neutral, the shake goes away for the most part, and it also goes away the second I give it any gas. Suggestions?
Maybe shot motor mounts.
@@d.a.s.3921 price/difficulty to replace?
Check WIS for instructions on that!
@@hardyweiner did you figure it out my car does same thing
Hopefully I can get mine up there one day mines a 2004 107000
Nice 👍🏼
I had a Garrett GT45 on my 99 9-5 Aero
👊🏼👍🏼
That’s sick
:)
Install the SAAB 9000 oil thermostat and install oil cooler with a minimum capacity of 0.5 liters (DIY). Engine oil 10W60 only.
Nice car....
Hola, las rejillas del capot donde las compraste, o las hicieron a mano, Quedo Excelente, quiero hacerle lo mismo a mi 9-5, desde ARGENTINA, Gracias
custom.
My twin blue 9-5 lol
You know it! 😂👍🏼 would be cool to see them next to each other
Yes! Saab 🥰🥰
I'm so happy to work in a workshop specialized in saab 😂😍
Nice!
It’s funny shit that I was looking at buying a 9-3 last night and came up on this video immediately on TH-cam😂😂😂
Deff get one
It’s a sign
2.8t over 2.3t. I've had both. Tuned both, big turbo on the 9-5, the 9-3 is an easier platform to make power on. Loved all 4 of my 9-5s though, but couldn't buy the big turbo with what it cost to get to ~ 400hp/500ft lb on my 9-3. Not to mention no custom work because you only need a gutted stock turbo rebuilt to your spec, tune, injectors and cooler plugs. The trump for me however, all wheel drive with a manual transmission. My big turbo set up on my 9-5s all had horrible torque steer. So much so, my tuner and I started limiting max torque in the first two gears. Hope this helps. Both will be fun with enhancements. I like the look of the 9-5 more than the 9-3. But I'm tuning on a budget these days.
@@yuhmadorwah you think it would be a fun project to power up my 06 2.0 T 9-3 or should I get a 2.8T
@@sspoolin if money is an issue, it is cheaper to make power out of the 2.8t without blowing the bank. The cost of VTuner stage 2 kit rated at 390hp, 425 ft-lb is about $2799 (last I checked). That includes turbo, tune, and injectors. A couple other misc. things. Everything bolts up, the turbo is gutted and rebuilt, but same placement. So if you're handy with a wrench it saves the money for installation.
If money is plentiful, then you can't go wrong. There are people all over doing big turbo kits for both engines. At that point, pick the best car (condition) and go for it. The 2.0 will be a dog down low in comparison.
Dat_saab should make a youtube channel
Lol we told him the same thing!!
Ok guys I have a 02 Saab 95 aero I want to do some mods to it what can I do
Just wondering - how did You cope with the wheelspin which doesn't seem to be present from a standing start? What's the 0-100 time?
It’s not a 0-100 car. High horsepower cars like this are almost always built for roll racing!
Beautiful car
It is! Thanks
No way thers 550 whp.... Those Wells should drift till 4th gear... My 95 with ONLY 450 runs way faster
No it doesn’t. Stop being ignorant. This isn’t a pissing contest.
might wanna get wider wheels then, if it’s spinning that long either your tires are bad, you’re flooring it the whole gear or you need wider tires and run a safe lower pressure
Love it
😁😁
I got the cap and the dress kit too lol
👍🏼👍🏼
Nice motor ahh I miss my saab
:(
i also have a 9-5 aero sedan with 320hp
Saab can fly 😎
👍🏼👊🏼
Im guessing a LSD is the next big upgrade? Definitely could use it with that power level.
Had one in the most recent trans that it killed. Looking to build up another one soon before this gives out
👊🏼
I have an auto 2008 9-3 2.0t , just replaced the driver side axle and a lot of oil came out, how do I replace the oil? Can’t find anything on this topic. Sick build btw!
Axle grease? Just add more in before you put it back on
Hey! I was wondering where I could get a bumper like that or any cool Saab 9-5 bumpers
It's an 04-05 aero bumper with a Turbo X custom lip underneath. You'd have to find a used bumper which may be hard in good condition
I just sold my stage 3x modified 9-5 , dyno at 331hp and 440tq but the Trans was not going to hold up I feared
Nice
What about crankcase breather hose and bearing shells? Did you have any problems with that stuff?
I’d message him on Instagram and ask! It’s not my car so unfortunately I’m not sure
This thing is sweet..im trying to sell a 04 9-3 5 speed
👍🏼
I have a 04 Saab 9-3 Aero convertible any recommendations for where I can get parts that will fit in the car and any advice would be great. I love your build I'm not a big car guy but Saabs is the one car that I really like my buddy has been wanting to fix up my car just to see if it can beat his car I've finally got money coming in so it's time to fix it up
FYI, this car is 100% different. If you search around in my channel, I have plenty of videos to answer any of the questions!
If you don’t mind me asking, how’d you do the vents on the hood, I can’t find anything like it online.
you'd have to DM the owner on instagram. @dat_saab. i don't know
Is that savingsaabs I see 👀
😂 yessir
I love Saabs
👍🏼
Saab is strong car like Hercules Suedia is the best cooper metal
Hello from Sweden! x)
:)
Did he mention the axles and whether they're stock or reinforced to handle the power?
i believe they're stock. the pinned comment on this video has the comprehensive mod list
I have a 9-3 Biopower SC -08 B207E with 330hp and it´s hard to get the power to the ground with soft tires on second gear, so how is it with 500hp++ ;) Nordic tuning have a 9-5 with almost 700hp, it´s just sick ;) And by the way you don´t need a big intercooler in Sweden because of the cold air, it´s just in the hotest days of the summer time you need it ;)
Haha wow. And yeah, we definitely need that big IC here 😂
@@AutoAutopsy Do88 have some nice stuff but read about the IC though it might not fit bolton on a 2003 and -04s ;) I guess you already know that ;)
What have you done to get The 330hp on b207? I'm aiming for The 300hp mark with my z20net
@@tatujaaska2566 A maxed out 16T turbo and Siemens Deka 875 injectors, Maptun 3 inch downpipe with race cat 2,5" rest of the way, Pipercross airfilter in Hirsch modified filerbox, Maptun 450nm+ clutch. The limit for the pistons is around 360hp but some guys in Sweden have driven a long time with a 19T and 360hp, anyway thats´why i set my tuning in the safezone ;) My Saab is a Biopower model and it runs best with E85 and lowers the output with gas, premium or regular to 280-300hp depending on octane. My car have been "Mackanized" He really knows his stuff and is one of the best in Sweden!
@@tatujaaska2566 Hi, i updated my answer :) Good luck with your build!
Theres no way in hell i would modify that car lmao
Ok.
Dream car.... that color :D
:)
Saab beastcar
👊🏼
Any chance you can find a link to that steering wheel, want one to my 95
aacars on ebay
There is 5k-7k ?
Can a 1995 Saab 900s be tuned?
I got a 95 aero im just starting now engine swapping it from a inline 4 2.3L turbo to a v6 3.0L turbo eventually ima hook up a big turbo thatlle bring my car from 250 hp stock to 500 hp
Im tackling performance first then body
I hate to break it to you, but that’s not really a good idea. The B235 is a far more reliable and better motor to build…there’s a reason Saab ditched the 3.0 V6 in the 9-5!
@@AutoAutopsy ok thank you o haven't done nothing to the engine yet
Takes some tips from the build in this video! One of the best out there 😁
@@AutoAutopsy ik ive looked up the parts did some research def might invest in some im not tryna make it crazy loud or crazy lookin just a smooth matte black look wit red trim i don't plan on going crazy wit horsepower on the saab bc it is gonna be my daily
Nice car m8👌
😁
Who the hell dislikes this? Why would you dislike this video?
Purists/bitter trolls lol
@@AutoAutopsy Saab was all about innovation, and doing things there way. The fact they are different is the reason most people like Saabs. If someone mods a Saab and keeps it on the road that should be a win. I've never understood purists. Really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.
You got ironman in the back.... cool....
How did he make the ventilated seats work in a non ventilated seat car?
Added the wiring
@@AutoAutopsy oh alright, do you know where I can get that roof spoiler??
Custom fwd dct well it work
doubtful
@Auto Autopsy doubtful but why is it fitment, controlling it , finding it why wouldn't it work could you please tell me
Valvecover is not original 9-5 , what's the story ?
Nice one
👊🏼
Correction: EBC Red stuff brake pads. I also run them on my 900. Great stuff.
They’re a solid product
Красавец. ❤❤❤❤❤
Dopeeeee
:)
314 is 9-3 brakes the 9-5 Aero brakes is 308mm
He said he has 9-3 aero brakes lol
This is exactly what every Saab lover imagines the car looks like bone stock.
:)
😍
