Car Forum / Saab Cars / April 2005Advice on modifying a Viggen 2000
Hello, I own a Viggen 2000 and I enjoy driving it. I would very much like to increase the HP though..to say 300 HP. Who do I go and ask for such modifications. My SAAB mechanic mentioned to me that all i need is the codes changed on the chip and that will do it. If i modify the codes will my brakes and suspension suffer because of increased horsepower? Does anyone know a garage that can do the above for me.I live in Montreal, Canada. Any help is greatly appreciated, Tacobell > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Does anyone know a garage that can do the above for me.I live in > Montreal, Canada. Looks like a flood of performance enhancement requests has come along. There's only one outfit that knows your car intimately and knows how to win races..... No-one else comes close ! http://www.abbottracing.com Graham > There's only one outfit that knows your car intimately and knows how to > win races..... No-one else comes close !

Hi Tacobell. I would strongly recommend the leading swedish Saab-tuner: http://www.maptun.com The have a US dealer: http://www.group9performance.com/ They're serious and are the company that knows the most of your car. The other company that is mentioned, is an England based company, that used to be serious. But today they "steal" their software setup from - Maptun. I recommend to use the "original". :o) Cheers! >Hi Tacobell. > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >be serious. But today they "steal" their software setup from - Maptun. I >recommend to use the "original". :o) I would also suggest http://www.nordicsaab.com/en_US/MiscPage_1.chtml in the USA. Actually a dealer in RI, very helpful folks. They have a stage-3 kit that will get you to 280hp without major engine internal mods. If you are going to this kind of HP you should probably think about some suspension tuning too. You need to consider > >Hi Tacobell. > > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > They have a stage-3 kit that will get you to 280hp without major > engine internal mods. Or BSR available from http://www.partsforsaabs.com/bsr_about.php I went to look at mapturn's website and I they suggest that stage 1 should be a re-programmed ECU. Abbott suggests that i should tune my Viggen first and then re-programme the ECU. A re-programmed ECU will give my car an additional 40 HP. Will this horsepower make the chassis and handling more difficult? According to Abbott I should prepare the chassis before re-programming the ECU. Any thoughts or suggestions?

According to > Abbott I should prepare the chassis before re-programming the ECU. Hi Tacobell. As long as we're talking a Stage-1 upgrade, your chassis and brakes should do just fine. Although you might need a firmer grip on the steeringwheel. ;o) It's when you get further than Stage-1, you should start thinking about: Brake-upgrade, hardware-upgrade and maybe chassis. It's then it starts to get expensive. Cheers! |
