Got the oil pan a bit modified

Now the oil should not escape from the pick up as easily as in stock setup.

Dropped the engine back in the enginebay, so that I can do the gearbox rearmount and check the clearances. Began to do new downpipe and exhauspipe.

I was told that this would work best at my engine setup. 2.3 bottom end, ported head, 38x1.5mm primaries on exhaust manifold and after the collectors 41.5x1.5mm up to the turbo. I am looking to get 500whp with good power band.

got the downpipe and firewall modifications done.

Firewall at the begining

and after :D

Not the prettiest outcome, but it is functional. With a little paint it will propably look semi-decent.

Got 26x9.5 Hoosiers mounted on wheels. They look pretty beefy and I really hope they will fit...

26x9,5 fits on my rekord, but I got different wheels and a volvo rearend. But there is no problem clearing the wheelwells!

Yeah, the fitment was quite close because my wheels should be more inwards.

Oil for my GS6-37DZ gearbox and 8mm sinter plate. Ortered these from Lensu power shop and the delivery was Super fast.

Bild
Put a JIC12 fitting into the oilpan because there is no place for oil return in Saab B206 cylinder block. Hope this works.

Lately I have been posting more stuff to Instagram, but I still try to keep also this topic alive :)

Painted the exhaust manifold with VHT flame proof

Hionta ja koneistus HS OY machined the turbine housing for 3.5" V-band fitting.

Double checked the cam timing and now it should be 108/108.

Thanks :)

Had to "machine" a bit of the gearbox input shaft. This gearbox has been made for Opel flywheel and clutch, so the input shaft was a bit too long to my setup.

Bild
I had to adjust also the throw out bearing, because my flywheel and clutch setup is taller than Opel parts. Minor adjustments with angle grinder :)

Engine and gearbox was already in the engine bay and engine was running for few seconds, but I had to remove it once again. I am looking to get it properly running next week. Then I can book dyno time and get it tuned.
