Jepp. >My 1985 900i is a 16V B201 - did Saab make a 16V turbo B201? B201 hade one camaxle, B202 two... I don't think SAAB made a B201 16v Turbo.... What is the eleven first characters in your chassisnumber? (YS3********) >The only 16V B201 engines that I've seen have been injection only. Likewise, >I have only seen B201 turbos in 8V. Why? Well, I have always thought that B201 was 8v and B202 16v.... >Perhaps Pekka Valtanen <help>CALLING PEKKA :)</help> (who shared some >knowledge recently about what the "S" stands for on the C900 turbo "S" >models) can share some light on this matter - he seems to be knowledgeable >about the models produced from Finland during this era. Here in Norway the S stands for LPT-engine (B202S) , 145hk. >My VIN simply decodes the car as a simple injection (which did worry me a >little about "ringers", but my fears have since been put at rest), but Pekka >informs me that a range of "fake" Aeros (I like to call them "aspiring >Aeros" ... like "when I grow up, I wanna be an Aero") were produced at this >time with the B201 8V engine. Yes, SAAB produced at few 8v Aeros, as M88 and M89 models I think. >I just wonder why the 16V B201 was not (or maybe was) used for the turbo >range. As I say, I think not the B201 not was used for turbo range, the B202 have DOCH-tec.
