1995 Saturn SL2 Build Thread

I am currently running the cable from the rear to the starter, where it is tied into the alternator with the factory cable. A separate cable is going from the starter to the fuse box, then from the fuse box to the MS and relay board.

I wouldn't power the rest of the car from the starter post. If you look at the factory battery cable the battery acts like a "filter" separating the starter/alternator from the rest of the electronics on the car. I would run a separate cable from the battery to the fuse block/relay center.

Might go back and do this later, but some OEM's seem to do what I did, as the ion/cobalt that I got the harness from only has the single positive lead heading to the rear.
I know the S-Series are already electrically noisy, can't see this being much worse than factory.

Got the piping and air temp sensor harness extended and soldered in. Not too happy with the clearances, it is a little tight between the coil and intercooler coupler, and between the radiator hose. Also had to dent the intercooler piping to open the clearance up a bit (1/2" or so). I think down the road I will be redoing the piping.

Looking really good there buddy wish I would’ve got done the build thread on my car but I didn’t. Maybe on the next motor. Hi and by the way the current motor had broken ringlands so forged motor here we come
