- Tuned by Limp Mode Tuning, mods list is fairly basic. It is a really fun daily driver. Feel free to ask questions about mods, tuning, or special parts for SAAB and Trailblazer V8 models.
Impressive numbers off a custom tune and intake, almost 300 wheel horsepower to all wheels and 400+ tq.
Is this a custom tune or just a reflash? If it's a flash, I'd like to send my box out!
Have 2009 Saab 97x one day while driving heard a clank like something fell off and immediately started stalling and knocking . Never had issue before regular oil changes. No check engine light was on at all . Now it constantly blinks. . I Love this car. Any ideas on what to check?
Becca, what ended up happening to your 97x? I just bought a 5.3l version yesterday and was looking for tuner companies. Curious what was your issue? thx, joe
It sounds bad... I would say that her engine spun a bearing. With the fact that the LH6 LS 5.3 in these suv's are the full aluminum variants meaning the heads and the block are made of aluminum instead of most 5.3's which are iron blocks with alu heads, I'd say that it is either in a junkyard or for sale on craigslist for $1000. A typical 5.3 is a 250k engine on dino juice regular oil. Run a full aluminum 5.3 with mobil 1 and they are easily 300k engines. Keep your fluids clean and use synthetic in every place possible and your 9-7x could be the car that has the most miles of anything you will own in your life. I own a 2007 5.3i 9-7x and its had 3500-4500 mile oil changes with Mobil 1 full synthetic since new. I'd use the extended mileage 20k mile Mobil 1 full syn with a high end oil filter as well and never went over 5000 miles between oil changes. Bought the suv at 52k miles and it has 222k on it at the moment. Not a leak from the untouched engine and it is fast enough to scare people. It is known around my town as a "Fast rig" as I have heard many of my friends call it that. aaaand it is! What I did to keep it in tip top shape and some advice would be...When I first got it, I changed every fluid with a synthetic. At 53k, the factory fluid in the rear diff, transmission, brakes, and transfer case were brown or dirty. I purchased all the fluids myself and had a quick lube center change them all while I watched. I've done them at 52k, 175k and they are all still clean and fresh. I am looking to get 350k out of it at the least. I mean, with the factory upgraded 20" wheel+ wider/thinner tire package on it, it looks better than most new suv's out there. It also has the sportiest/most comfortable ride that you'll find in a suv, is faster than most suv's, has every option on the planet, and can get 18-20 mpg town,25-27 mpg highway. That's when most other 8 cyl suv's get 12-14 town, 16-18 highway. The only upgrades I have done to it is to remove all the mufflers/resonators and installed a magnaflow can at the rear and a K&N filter which I clean OFTEN in the stock intake box. I have not gotten a tune, but with what I did and a tune, 365-375hp is attainable. With a Cam+tune, there is a video here on youtube of 5.3 LS truck making 407HP. But just doing the upgrades I have done lets the engine breathe and the stock 325hp does the job for me. These engines like fresh factory iridium plugs($80-$100) and fresh fuel filters since one of the known problems is clogged injectors. Also NEVER use a injector cleaner unless you have just changed the fuel filter... if you don't, your "Injector" cleaner will clean out your dirty fuel filter and clog injectors.... the ONE time that I had a real issue with my truck was when I did that! ahah. Anyway, hope I could help... Do the maintenance I did and you can have one of the best designed, top of the line and best driving vehicles for a looooong time.
@@supafrancis I'm curious as to if it's possible to gain 50hp on just a tune when you still have factory manifolds and cats? NA engines don't respond to a tune alone like that with factory exhaust. A forced induction engine can gain that with a tune and Intake along with factory exhaust. Just curious where you got those numbers from?
All you have to do is a little research on LS engines.. let me put it this way, there are LS engines that come from the factory with 350 hp. To make that power, the only difference between them and the engine in my 9-7x that makes 325 is a different ecu tune. So take your LS to a real tuner and you can easily get 367-375 hp.
@@supafrancis gotcha. I'm so used to boosted ls engines it's hard to find alot of NA ones being built around my area. Good info thank you.
