Not exactly... Posted by Larry West [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Re: All 2.3 motors the Same?, Justin VanAbrahams ![]() |
If one just transferred the Viggen motor into the 9000 and used the 9000 electronics, you would get a motor that performs like the 9000, for all intents and purposes. To pull all of the ponies out of the Viggen motor, you'd need to install the Trionic T7 system in the 9000.
But, as Justin said, there are lots of other aftermarket options for a 9000 that don't involve replacing the motor. You can change the turbo, and there are several Trionic upgrades for the 9000 motors that will take you beyond Viggen engine performance.
As for the motors being the same, well, not really. The 94 9000 has the B234 motor, and the Viggen the B235. That subtle change in the last digit signifies some pretty extensive changes, particularly in the area of valve train. Some of them help the performance, others (most) help the emissions.
