Hope you all enjoyed the video! Let me clarify a few things and explain the numbers again. Remember that there is a BIG difference between wheel and crank numbers: with the JZW tune and no mods, the car made 220whp and 254wtq. With the JZW tune and bolt ons, the car made 249whp and 284wtq, meaning the Krona and do88 parts added 29whp and 30wtq to the car (also keep in mind the JZW runs included some misfires). When including the Maptun stage 2 with the car, it made 254whp and 298wtq, for an overall gain of 34whp and 48wtq! Accounting for drivetrain loss, the car should be making roughly 320hp and 375ft/lbs at the crank!
Considering the mileage that is a amazing result. Have you had any cam chain stretch, bit of a big job but once done you will get any lost horses back :)
Great video...thank you The smoothness of the maptun Over the other is as impressive as the gains. A tune up prior to dyno would have made little difference....the maptun Is at the top of its game.
@@chancock4222 Yes I saw that, should have used an Aero or smt. But Turbo x should look cooler than like a regular 9-3 if he happens to make a video of it.

2 days ago I had a car crash. I was driving home from grandma and I was at the highway. I noticed Opel Insignia going faster than usual on that road so I let him pass me. After a few hundred meters he started to brake and moved to a right lane. I moved into left lane trying to go around him and as soon as I get near him he started to turn left into my lane. He hitted me into right side(front and left doors) and got me spinning a few times. I was going around 80km/h so i barelly stopped. Both of my front tires exploded cause I hitted sidewalk so it felt like im on ice. After about 50 meters I stopped and get out of my car uninjured. I bought Saab just for that reason...safety. If I were in some other car I think I wouldn't be alive today.
I had a similar experience a few weeks ago. Got t-boned making a left turn at an intersection. My 9-3 was totaled, but it held up enough that I was able to walk away with only a small bruise on my leg. These cars are amazing
I'm going Vermont Tune stage 0, with Denso plugs, Krona mid and down, D088 intercooler, charge, and intake, as well as SAI delete, and probably hotter coils...maybe the LS2 mod.
Excellent analysis on torque curve. That's what it's all about in real world driving. I can see maximum torque via eSID but never maximum horsepower in day to day spirited driving
Absolutely replace the fuel pump as soon as possible, mine died on a ~600 mile roadtrip, and if you ever get stuck, hitting the fuel tank can fix it temporarily Really like the channel
@@AutoAutopsy Disagreed. I typically agree with your findings, but this is purely your opinion and factually inaccurate. Brew City Boost has fantastic reliable 2.8L tunes. I purchased my tune at 160,000 miles and it now has 225,000 miles. It is a daily driver and I race it often with NO issues. I can verify this if you wish.
Are you considering another Tune? What do you think if the vTuner stage 0 or above, you probably have enough done now to consider the stage 1 or 2 he offers. Or do you not like those tunes?
@@bernardhammonds3718 I had an 2006 93 Aero with the Stage 0, I highly recommend it. I have a 2007 93 Aero Combi now stock, but am considering the stage 1 possibly.
great engines really! i have an opel Vectra 2,8 v6 Turbo with 431000km wich is about 268000 miles, no oil leaks or anything else for that matter! planing on putting out some videos on my channel soon if you or anybody else is intrested of seeing how it goes and sounds :)

Hey man,after watching this, the reasons you have for the misfires lead me to question whether my stage 1 from Vermont tuning might be the cause of my misfires. It's typically the 2nd cylinder code and it occurs in the 3-4k RPM range. My plan was to replace the coil pack but should I do something with the tune instead? Please help!

Nice post. I'm old school. The bottom line is the 1/4 mile. Get her on the track. Don't ruin your clutch. Just ease out of the hole, but let's see the time.....
to get more power you need to uncap the injectors or get bigger injectors and a higher fuel pump.. fuel pump alone will do nothing .. you need to do the injectors and pump.. as on the dyno the pump was not maxing out yet
I think his plan is to do the pump for engine safety reasons, which is wise as so many people do engine work and just expect their ancient fuel pump to keep up.
@@AutoAutopsy i agree you dont want it to leaning out.. when you do get the injectors upgraded so you can take advantage of all your upgrades .. you will see the biggest impact..
@@AutoAutopsy I'm installing an AEM 340 pump in the stock housing on mine. Shouldn't break a sweat on my stage 0 Vtune and will easily keep up when I eventually upgrade the turbo
I'm a bit confused. Are you at a high altitude there? Is it possible in Arizona? I dynoed my bone stock Turbo X (6MT) on a Mustang Dyno (Linked AWD drums) Their SHOP car was a Focus RS. It made 240 WHP stock. (Focus RS is rated at 350 BHP) My car's stock dyno looks nearly identical to your JZW + Mods dyno... I'm really confused. I'm stock down to the paper filter. This is no high reading dyno. I assumed my car had a stock flash because it felt slow, and only made peak of 13.3 PSI to reach it's numbers mid range. This was with correction factor but I was dynoing in 105 degree heat. My stock 2006 Aero (6MT) made 225 FWHP and 252 FWTQ on a Dynojet which as far as I know reads expected. Just really confused here. Just by looking at how fast your car fell off, I'm guessing that you're Density Altitude must be pretty unfavorable for you?
FWD is gonna give you higher readings because of power only going to two wheels, therefore less drivetrain loss needs to be accounted for. The JZW tune was obviously pretty bad with the mods, so I would almost disregard those numbers. I'd recommend checking the original video if you haven't already! I'm in Phoenix (1100ft), so not high altitude (but do have heat)
Fu.... k Others opinion on power on you car. You have at Speciel car, that Is 12 years old, and it is stil fast compare to others. Even people whit a Bugatti Veron have haters. I like you videos for the good info tips and trick. So Thank you for sharing :-)
JZW and Maptune are not even close to quality tune like Brian from vermont tuning. i have an 08 9-3 aero automatic that is 320 HP at 93 octane from a stage zero from VT. I've been watching your videos lately and they are awesome but for the life of me why you don't use VT considering brian is a genius ( literally ) when it comes to saab.
@@AutoAutopsy Yes the Vtune basic tune without hardware mods does 320hp 400tq at the crank. He has dynos posted and also has 1/4 mile times(even better tell of power) for the 2.8 fwd. His basic tune (Stage 0) gives you 265-275 hp at the wheels. His 1/4 mile time is high 13s for stage 0 automatic. With a turbo x and manual on his tune I can't imagine the awesomeness it'll be on that tune nor the higher staged 1 or 2 which would probably put the this car in stock kia stinger 3.3 GT territory with `330hp at the wheels and about 370tq at the wheels. JZW has always been the slightly cheaper option but I've heard of a few people having issues with his tunes so what you experienced didn't surprise me in this video with his tune on the dyno. It was confirmed when you switched to a well known tuner like Maptun and got smoother better sounding tune as you saw yourself. Some people seem to do fine on his tunes but a few seem to have issues enough so that it turned me towards other tuners. He has lots more experience with the 2.0 and 2.3 (his car is the fastest 2.3 I think for the 1/4 in the U.S or something don't know if it's still the case).
@@KPalmTheWise it's 320 at the crank check his site. Don't know what you mean otherwise because i never stated 330. His 9-5NG 2.8 Aero stage 0 tune is 335hp at the crank. So unless you're mistaking things.

Question...the exhaust you have on the X would that fit my 2006 Aero?
Yes. Although the downpipe would be slightly different because yours is FWD. You can find it all on www.kronaperformance.com

what was the diffrence with the jz without the dp and ic compared to the same tune with them
Check out the pinned comment; I explained it a bit better there
you drive in the 5gear or why you have 2700rpm at 80miles/130kmh ?
