Finally Everything Fits

[AshG]

well its taken nearly 3 months but everything finally fits, its running and once the transmission tunnel and dash are back in its drivable.

So you can fit a saab 2.0 turbo with an omega box and all the extra crap that goes with it in a standard dimension type9 chassis JUST!!

Looking really good Ash, thanks for the pictures they will help alot when I start to put mine in.
I am still having problems locating a R28 gearbox. Lots R25-R28s
What people do not realised that these engines have forged internals as standard.

[AshG]

they all have r25-28 wrote on them. the difference is the car it comes out of. it needs to be from a 3.0 v6 omega to be sure it has r28 internals.

there is another marking that is like this

JM 108 98 B

Translationof code below
JM(version code) 108(day of the year) 98(year) B (A-morning shift B-Afternoon Shift)


for it to be r28 internals the first two letter need to be JM, GL, PL anything else and it will be an r25.

Now that's what I call a propper engine bay full Ash

I bet you are just dagging to get the Roadster back on the road ready to enjoy this spring sunshine

Just read your latest article in CKC, great read mate & look forward to the next issue

very very nice! that monster + wet roads.... have fun

looks sweet too, just throwing it out there but is a bonnet really necessary? covering that up would be a sin! either that or make a clear one?

[AshG]

it does seem a shame to cover it up. but... if the noise of the turbo or waste gate chatter doesn't give it away the dump valve will

its been hard going ronnie glad you enjoyed the article. doing the roadster and the exocet at the same time as well as a 60 hr week at work is really wearing thin so im glad the roadster just needs a days work to have it road worthy biggest challenge will be mapping it to take advantage of the power but not make it too mental to have fun. the pinto didnt scare me. im hoping this will

[K4KEV]

oooooo....those piccies are goddam pornographic that is one very very nice transplant Ash....good on yer bud....hope I can somewhat emulate that with my own build....hope to see it in the flesh one day

[HandyAndy]

Looking great Ash, that certainly looks fast just standing still ,
Nice work mate.

That looks quite a big cutout on the bonnet scoop,

Looking forward to seeing & hearing that engine in action .

cheers
andy
