Seems OK to me. Standard 3.0's are 227nm @ 3600 and by my calcs thats mid 160's.

The saab 3.0 v6 turbo only produces 176bhp

[paulsmv6]

Ay?? :-/



180bhp is rather low for your mig. I'd be checking the breather pipes at the back of the plenum if I were you. Mine made a similar reading when I had an otherwise undetectable split in one!!

The saab 3.0 v6 turbo only produces 200bhp

There you go, much better

Makes more lb/ft than the omegas 199 though.

The n/a lump found in the 9000s has the same go as ours.

Thats what you should be pushing out, BUT as the years fly past you may find that it may drop in bhp. The only way you will find your true bhp is on a rolling road.

i will have to check around for faults then rolling road test it again thanks uve bin helpfull

[Marks DTM Calib]

There is not a rolling road in this coutry that can give you an accurate reading.....its very much guess work and indicative!

As for the one I visited in Long Eaton, amateurs is the only kind word I could come up with!

We have one in Reading, just trying to think who they called now. Ah thats it Clifford Cox Engineering. They have a rolling road in there workshop.

hiya,
i posted in your other thread, in general the v6's are quite horrible for tuning (i was on about running a low pressure turbo on a 2.5v6) but if you try and tune them too much you end up spending alot of money, you'd be after forged pistons, rods, an oil cooler, wider coolant channels through the bottom end/block so by the time you've finished you may aswell have bought a different engine all together, the best saab engine for going silly with is the 2.3t or get a volvo t5 2.3t lump lol! they can run upto 19ish psi or even the 2.3 saab engine, it's alot better and stronger than the v6 engine, plus it's lighter for what power it produces, the 9000 carlsson has 225bhp out of a 2.3 straight 4 which is already more than the v6 anyway if you really want a turbo v6 then thats upto you lol but you'd need the stronger crank if you were going to tune it HTH
