Can anybody give me some advise on IC replacements on a Viggen? I quick search pointed towards either an Abbott High Flow IC kit for 495 pounds, or a Speedparts version for 648 (at elkparts). Has anyone experience with these IC's with regard to performance increase? (Abbott claims a 12bhp power increase!)

Vigge has been performed an intercooler upgrade on his Viggen - a search might reveal some info - or he might be able to tell you more, here

NB: Hanm - love the photo of your Viggen in the Saab forecourt - best alloys IMO

The conversation can be found here among with my dyno sheet before and after custom IC install.
conversation?

IMHO I think that all the after market IC's for viggens are a rip off. I paid about 250 pounds (450Eur) for my custom IC!

hello Hans-Martin,

There is someone at the Saab Turbo Club of Sweden, who offers home-made IC's for our cars.

I think his name is "magnus....." here's a link to the forum:

Here is some more info about that issue

Cellpaketen har måtten 560x190x86mm. Och IC:n är i princip "bolt-on" på Saab 900/9-3.
Dock måste man kapa lite i kofångarbalken vid gavlarna på IC:n för att den ska få plats.
Har man en 900NG eller en 9-3 utan crossflow IC behöver man slangen mellan turbon och IC:n samt mellan IC:n och insugsröret. Den sistnämna slangen går även att skarva så att den räcker fram.

Priset för IC:n är 5000kr, varav jag vill ha hälften i förskott.
Kommer beställa cellpaketen på tisdag nästa vecka.

Bilder på hur IC:n ser ut finns här:

And same in english
This IC is basically a plug and play to 9-3 cars.
Some slight modifations needs to be made in order for the end tanks to fit. If the car is not equipped with x-flow you must also change the piping between turbo-IC and IC-manifold. The second one is possible to modify from stock pipe if you like.

Prize is (was) 550Eur.

Contact magnus for more info, I dont know who he is. He writes to STCS under nick "Magnus 2074"

For those in the States, Bell Intercoolers makes some great cores, and gives some great information. They're inexpensive, and they will make custom end tanks for those who request. That's where I plan to get mine when the time comes ...

Yours,
