It's going to be about 1bar ish or 15psi tops. Can't find exact spec. 9k Aero was 225 with 1.08bar. The viggen engine is almost identical so would probably run very similar boost.
The HOT is the 2.0litre iirc so will run up to 1bar I suspect.
Will it be dangerous to tamper with the boost adjustment on a LPT as discribed in the post higher up?
I was told not to tamper with that at all. But if it is possible and not dangerous, what would the max boost be for the 2.0 LPT?
k so what about out of the factory, no tampering what so ever! i looked into info at my dealership they said the viggen is 20psi??? strange, ive heard different here, anyone with a viggen or the facts about exactly how much boost a 2000 Viggen has, i dont care about aeros.
Trionic 7 treats things differently to T5 Aero 9k though - it will always try and make the target power.
When I checked, the Viggen runs 1.1bar / 15-16psi at sea level to get its 230bhp - almost identical to 9k Aero as expected but gets an extra 5bhp top end.
The twist is the Trionic 7 in the viggen will push up the boost to compensate for high altitude - up to 20psi / 1.4bar to still try and make the 230bhp. That's where the misleading boost figures for the Viggen must come from - they are not 'fixed' but vary according to required power.
To compare apples with apples though - the number is 15-16psi peak boost for the Viggen.
I done a google search on Hirsch to have a look at the size and spec of their 4 pot brake kits and i found the spec sheets for the 9-5 aero, they do two power upgrade kits, these are for the 250bhp aero, 305bhp and 280 bhp, for the 305 kit you get, air intake pipe, upgraded turbo, intercooler, exhaust, trionic 7 remap, with a max boost pressure of 1.15 BAR, and for the 280 kit you get air intake pipe, exhaust, remap, max boost 1.10 BAR, now to me the max boost for both sounds very low as a 9k aero has a standard max boost of 1.08 BAR! it would be good to know what the standard max boost was in the first place!
Does sound low BUT remember max boost is nowhere near max BHP rpm. Maybe they mean the boost at full power rpm? i.e. if you can hold 1.15bar to 5500 rpm you'll probably see 300bhp or so which matches their statement. A stock Aero will be about 0.7 bar or less by then even though it had a peak of about 1.1 at say 2.5k rpm.
They may even limit boost to 1.15 bar throughout the range to save the gearbox and provide a very linear power curver to red line without the midrange torque lump. i.e boost to 1.15 and hold to red line. - They will still make the power claim but with a smooth build up.
I thought the 9-5 was a 5cm housing (hence TD04HL15t No. 5). The last Aero 9000's ran the No.6
