Basically everything can be done with the cars (every car) if time, money and competence is not limiting the action.
;-)
A few weeks ago I told on this BB about OG 900 whose engine was completely rebuild: Cylinders removed (drilled away) and replaced by floating cyl. tubes that were cut to proper length from some other engine. Pistons were taken from some Turbo Diesel _tractor_ (Valmet/Valtra). New cranckshaft was forged from a flat steel bar.Head was 8 valve - intake & exh widened). The engine volume was approx 3 liters and output in excess of 500 HP.
Also I just yesterday noticed an OG900 Turbo Cabriolet that was on sale in the net, new turbo & exhaust etc. approx 250 HP... (not in US, but in Europe / Czech republic)
So Everything can be done,,, But for someone who asks can it be done, maybe the right answer is no... Or atleast with the warning of cost and used time (as Ari did).
And YES the Saab engines are well done and designed,,, they are robust etc.
I don't want to start a debate over this, so this is the last from me on this thread.
BTW,,, maybe we can also start an off topic thread about car manufacturers that coudn't even produce proper Turbos as factory made... ;-)
