Alex Zabolotnyy from Moscow sent it to us pictures of his beloved modest car – Saab 9-5 Troll “DråkkåR”.
Alex is in his Saab 9-5 Troll put a lot of effort and work, which you can see from his photos.
Underneath its bonnet lies the original Saab 9-5 2.3-litre turbocharged engine you’ll find in any similar model.
Added to this, however, are uprated pistons and camshafts, an uprated fuel pump and Hirsched ECU and a massive Garret GT2860. Here’s a short list of modifications to the engine:
- Garret GT2860
- Custom front mounted intercooler
- AEM DryFlow Heavy Duty air filter
- Hirsch ECU
- Siemens Deka 630сс fuel injectors
- Walbro GSS 342 fuel pump
Stopping power is taken care of with 4-pot Hirsсh Performance brake calipers and 330x32mm Proma Custom brake disks on each corner. Also, car’s owner Alex has made a number of modifications to the interior and exterior of his Saab Troll.
Here’s the list of improvements:
Exterior:
— Hirsch Performance Troll bodykit
— Hirsch Performance trunk lip spoiler
— Duck tail custom
— Rhino Lip
— Hirsch grills
Interior:
— Carbon fiber Hirsch dashboard kit
— Hirsch steering wheel
— Auxillary gauges by Speedparts
— Charcoal alcantaric celling
— Ecoleather floor cover + mats
And – yes, we like very much Alex Saab :)
Nice mods, but I’m not sure how reliable the automatic transmission will be with this much power.
Actually now it’s 234к of miliage, but still – it’s as smooth and solid as 13 years before.
The key is TransGo shift kit, auxillary additional oil cooler (+thermostate), and frequen AFT oil re-changing (once in 12k).
