Saabscene’s glossary of terms and acronyms
Engines: Either carburetted, fuel-injected or turbocharged. Turbo engines come in three broad flavours:
LPT - Low Pressure Turbo. Mild turbocharging, designed to give a broad spread of torque with minimal lag and smooth power delivery. Boost pressure of up to 0.45bar / 6.5psi
FPT - Full Pressure Turbo. More serious turbocharging, upping bhp and torque significantly. Generally using a larger turbocharger than LPT models. Boost pressure of 0.8bar /11.5psi and above.
HOT - High Output Turbo. Serious turbocharging for performance (Aero and Viggen) models.
As a general rule, engine designations follow the format ‘Bxyz’ followed by a letter.
x and y denote engine capacity. z was initially used to refer to the number of auxiliary shafts, but on later engines is more of an indication of the evolution of the engine. The final letter denotes the type of induction used.
So:
B201 - 2.0litre (1985cc), 4-cylinder with sohc (99, 90, C900)
B202 - 2.0litre, 4-cylinder engine with dohc (C900, early 9000)
B204 - 2.0litre, 4-cylinder engine with dohc and twin balancer shafts (9000, GM900, 9-3)
B234 - 2.3litre, 4-cylinder engine with dohc and twin balancer shafts (9000, GM900, 9-3)
B205 - 2.0litre, 4-cylinder engine with dohc and twin balancer shafts (9-5)
B235 - 2.3litre, 4-cylinder engine with dohc and twin balancer shafts (9-5, 9-3 Viggen only)
