How does a tuner work on a Saab?
First, you select “Program Vehicle” and “OK”. The Tuner will proceed to back-up the original software on your car’s ECU: nice touch. Then, after this is complete, you select the appropriate file (in my case, it was “stage 1”) and begin the upgrade. At this point, you might want to help yourself to a drink or snack as this step takes some time.
What’s the stage 1 upgrade on a Saab World?
New companies in the mid west are JZW, BCB, or Vtuner in the east and a host of others like Miked. A stage 1 will move you up about 30/40 horses. I have the 2.0t. With the low-pressure engine is the Maptune improvement of performance just a little sharper than BSRs, maybe most obvious with regard to torque over a band.
What’s the gas mileage on a Saab 9-5?
Gas mileage is a rather complex story. The empirical mileage from the MY2000 9-5 we had, 2.0t 150hp, stage 1 (215hp/353Nm!) was approx. 10% increase on highway, 0% mixed and 20% decreased city (living in a hilly area, being “lightfooted on the pedal”). Enjoy!
What kind of engine does a Saab B204 have?
A better turbo, intercooler, ECU remap (remaps are incredibly easy on these) and downpipe will produce a reliable 300bhp from a 175bhp engine. I current have 265 bhp from a B204R after spending 100 pounds on upgrades, which I think is enough. One more thing – you will need the ECU unlocked if you don’t want an immobiliser.
Where is the ECU located on a Saab 9-5?
This is how to replace or remove the Engine Control Unit (ECU, or Engine Control Module, ECM) in a Saab 9-5. Please note that if your car is a right-hand drive version, the ECU is located on the left side of the vehicle. These instructions do not apply to the Saab 9-3 since the ECU is instead located behind the glovebox.
