Saab 3.0 V6 Turbo engine
« on: 09 February 2011, 12:02:16 »
The Saab 3.0 Litre V6 with the turbo on one bank of the engine, I believe it to be the same as the X30XE.

Anyone have much dealing/knowledge of this engine?

Yeh, basicaly the same block etc.

Slightly lower compression ratio and only a low blow unit.

Seem to recall slightly less bhp and more torque

Yep thats right, a little bit more torque.

I wonder how different the compression ratio really is?

I would guess mid or high 9's where as the standard is 10.8!

Just checked, 9.5:1 compression ratio with 0.27 Bar of boost, 310Nm of torque (at 2500-4000 rpm) and 200bhp (at 5000rpm)

Nope, although the turbo is only driven off a single bank, the boost is fed to both banks and hence both will have the lower compression

I need to find myself one, I want to see it up close.

Wonder how much this little beauty goes for?

Just stripping one at the moment, other differences include 2.5 cams, & double valve springs on the turbo side bank head.

I was going to swap it for my 2.5 in the omega, its fully stripped & cleaned, just needs assembling & new rings. I have deburred & polished the piston crowns & ported the heads & divider, but need the omega inlet & 3.0 cams along with the front cover & flywheel/clutch also to finish.
