It's my understanding the Saab 9-3 2.0 engine is the Ecotec, what about the 2.3L Saab, is it Ecotec, Quad-4, or something else entirely?
I'm thinking it would be nice to just drop in the engine, harness, computer, etc from a wrecked 250hp Saab into an Eco J-body. BTW, are the various power ratings on the 2.3 Saab turbo as simple as boost settings or are there internal engine differences?

With More Favor and Less Calories
Working on the engine... Soon to be complete.
In Lehman's terms. The 2.3L is a Opel/Saab derived engine aka Ecopower or Ecotec.
The Eco in the 2003 9-3 is a all-new unit derived from the 2.2L found in the J.
I knew one day it will cause confusion, slapping that old name to this new engine. F-ing market ploy. lol
