so i searched and couldnt find anything about it so i need some help on a link or info. i blew up my LSJ and was wondering if swapping an lnf would work? i mean, besides the engine and piping/intercooler, and ecu... will the sensors and all attatch like the lsj or would i need a whole harness? if its just retarded i still need and LSJ hahah.

 

It'll work but cost a lot more lol

 

you can do a work around , and I do have the schematics for you to do that , but its 100% the wrong way for you to go, waaay too expensive.

 

you'll have to swap the whole wiring as well. It's been done, but honestly it would probably be more affordable to do the saab lsj swap. someone on this forum is doing the swap currently, and it looks like it'll turn out very nice.

 

"Saab LSJ" = LK9

thank you scott....should've figured since the saab manifold is called the lk9 manifold

 

well the dealership is wanting to charge me 5k for the new engine and work.. im no dummy on building an engine "see sig pic" but i dont want to have to do a crap load of work and fishing just to swap if you know what i mean..

 

let me see if i can find that other guys thread

yea i saw his thread. its not at all helpful.. no item numbers, and not really alot of info. i have a saab 9-3 linear and id rather not do that kind of swap..

 

i wouldent realy call it a swap and why go lnf their crank and rods arent as good as an lsj

 

Factory turbo.. unless I can get a built or semi built lsj for 2k or less thensage 3 tvs it from ottp...

 

Man just throw an LS3 in it

 

the lsj in stock form is plenty stout internal wise and why waste your time with a factory snail of an lnf just swap your lsj to a snail you will have a lot less problems
