Tuning modifications for the Saab 900
The Car Tuning Guide look at the 900 tuning options. Which are the best modifications for the 900.
Available in standard form with power of upto 191bhp (depending on the year), so this goes to show the tuning potential of the 900. From this you can increase the power from anywhere between 210.1bhp to 324.7bhp depending on how far you want to go. The larger power figure would need major work like a rebore, balancing, porting polishing and an agressive cam. It would also take a fairly hefty dose of forced induction.
Saab mods should include an engine swap to provide a better base to work from. The ’191bhp 900 Saloons’ is a real gem in terms of power. The already BHP endowed range of 900s reward tuners with a satisfying power gain. Your first engine modifications for your 900 should be an induction kit, sports exhaust and fuel boost valve.
The modification that gives the biggest power gain on your car would be a fast road cam. Internal engine modifications that should be high up on your list would be polishing and porting the head.
The most powerful 900 Saloon in our database offers 191 bhp. From this you can increase the power from anywhere between 210.1 bhp to 324.7bhp with mods we have outlined above.
Saab put together a nice package but the turbo 900 owners have a real tuners dream. A remap and Intercooler will add a lot of power to the engine and in some cases you can double your power. The 900s come in various power levels right up to 191bhp. On a motorsport prepared 900 it is possible to achieve power figures of anywhere approaching 248.3bhp to 362.9bhp. But this sort of power requires some pretty heavy investment and a hell of a lot of engine work. . Suspension upgrades are next on every 900 owners priority list. The Car Tuning Guide do not recommend lowering more than 35mm.
