TRIONIC 5 CONVERSION
We are proud to offer the Trionic 5 conversion in our competences.
This conversion can be done on all SAAB 900 Classic with B202 & B212 16v engine.
The SAAB Trionic system has been developed in-house at SAAB and is first incorporated in 1993 into the SAAB 9000 2.3L Turbo to control simultaneously the ignition, fuel injection and boost pressure.
It is an absolute must have tunable upgrade for your classic SAAB 900 that improves drivability, reliability, performance, fuel efficiency and exhaust emissions.
By converting your SAAB to Trionic 5 you can expect improvement on:
Drivability
Trionic 5 engine management is far more advanced than the stock Bosch LH or Lucas CU14.
It does not have mechanical limitations compare to it’s Bosch and Lucas predecessor. It will control ignition timing in all power range even on original set up engine. Things like unstable idle or slow response at lower power is now over. The benefits in drivability will surprise you and each drive will pleasure.
Reliability
Bosch LH and Lucas CU14 systems used some high quality strong mechanical components back in the days. But they are not indestructible and wear with age. And when they fail those components will need to be replaced or restored. That is when it becomes complicated. Some parts are not produced new anymore. And finding good quality restored and compatible components is a battle. It usually resolves into unsuccessful results or very pricy invoices.
Trionic 5 engine management uses components that are still produced today as Original or very good quality aftermarket parts. Only the ECU must be found second hand.
Those available components will speed up the parts sourcing and repair work. Customers will be back on the road with their SAABs rapidly.
One big advantage of the Trionic 5 system is that it can run the OBDII diagnostic interface and indicate error codes. This means that garage specialists or even customers themself will be able to plug in a code reader machine or a more advance diagnostic computers/tools and communicate with the ECU. Error codes will be shown and a specialist will be able to diagnoses the problem and correct it or repair it.
Every harness we sell are built with an integrated OBD2 port. Every ECU will also be updated.
A safety advantage that the Trionic 5 provides with its advanced technology over the old SAAB system is a better engine protection.
This will reduce the chances of over-boost, running to rich or to lean, overheat and other problems that can affect the engine health.
Performance
The main performance gains with the Trionic 5 are due to the full control of the engine’s ignition timing.
In the predecessor engine management that use a distributor with mechanical advance and retard system, the control is not that effective. Those distributor use to be setup with perfect timing under full load. It for sure comprised the rest of the power range to a less than optimal setup.
We @HEMIsphere Garage are equipped with the tools and software to tune and adjust Trionic 5 maps to a standard application or for more specific performance needs. Of course the configuration of the car has to be ready to accept those performance upgrades (more air, coolant and oil cooling, more fuel, healthy engine, etc..).
Fuel efficiency
Trionic 5 system is adaptive, which means that it ”learns” different driving conditions, variable climates etc. and stores this information for use under similar conditions that may occur in the future. The fuel injection but also the ignition and boost pressure are immediately adjusted to suit the driving conditions and variable climates.
We have all the spare parts available in stock for your Trionic 5 conversion.
Parts from Original SAAB, original suppliers or high quality aftermarket suppliers.
We also supply complete Trionic 5 wiring harness custom built new for the SAAB 900 Classic. Those are made to high quality standards.
To complete your conversion kit we as well sell the triggering signal kit. High quality aftermarket parts.
Don’t forget me! I am the heart of the Trionic 5 system!
We provide specifically tuned Trionic 5 ECU to finalize your Trionic 5 conversion purchase.
