Interesting Saab Engine on eBay
I tend to keep an eye on eBay for spare saab engines if one comes up cheap i tend to have a cheeky bid and if i win it goes in the spares shed
so i spotted this one
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Saab-900-93-B204-Engine-Redtop-Turbo-185bhp-/321254286700?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4acc3f656c
/>
seller is advertising it as a good condition low mileage engine. being someone that always reads peoples feedback i spotted that previously he had
tried to sell the car, im guessing the sale fell through as he is now breaking it.
have a look at the advert for selling the car it clearley states its done 185k!

Not absolutely definite that it is the same car though - the whole car was green but the engine pic seems to be in a blue car
I could be wrong though.

sent him a message got a reply and yes it is the 185k engine. i wonder what he considers a high mileage engine
may still buy it if i can get it for a good price, i have enough spares to rebuild it.

That's the problem with buying an engine on its own. You never know its history.

What bits would you need to collect to run a Saab engine like this in a Locost ?

You really need the whole donor car then you can get all the wiring and ECU's etc. The ECU's are remappable on a DIY basis if you want to
tune the motors.
Obviously you would need a suitable gearbox......

Saab engine, ecu & apc, loom, ignition pack, turbo,boost valve, intercooler oil cooler, flywheel and clutch.
Omega v6 r28 gearbox
Custom spacer for omega clutch slave cylinder
Custom prop
High pressure fuel pump.
It may be a struggle to fit in a locost as it's quite a tall engine but it will fit in a Haynes like mine without too much bother.
