1999 Saturn Sc2 "Jamie v.2"
-----------------------------------------------
Goal: 350whp by NOPI of 2008
Start Date: Sept. 17th 2007
Planned End Date: Sept. 14th 2008
-----------------------------------------------
Ancient History
Long story short a few members of a couple Saturn boards assisted in the first Sc2 project; her name was Jamie and the goal was 400whp daily with the best parts. For the most part all of that happened minus the power output because of a small turbo and my lack of patience and ignorance coupled with an over-zealous nature in thinking I could tune the tec system. The head gasket blew, turbo died, and we tore her down and reassembled her ready for the 400whp task when I screwed up the exhaust cam placement by 90 degrees without knowing it due to a previous endeavour by an individual in Florida. Frustrated as to why I could not get her to start since there was fuel, spark, and compression, I gave in to the desired of being rid of all my troubles.
Along this journey I have not only gained valuable experience, I've also met some of the most amazing individuals I've ever had the pleasure of greeting with something as simple as a handshake. Now most of us call each other friend, whether having met by talking on XtremeSaturn and meeting at the garage on 431, the misfortune of theft, cross-country business, my selling out, traveling to pickup engines, assisting in assembly, or merely chatting via the other great forums in Saturn history, we all share a common love of power, speed, or simply the joy provided by creating something with your own hands and watching it perform; feeling it move through the air, or watching the power output. In addition to the knowledge, experience, business contacts and friendship I've also managed to find something that I did not expect, a sense of family and for that I will be forever thankful for whatever the road I travel may provide or take from me.
Current History
I came into possesion of this car by the transfere of titles to a friend in need and he from a person of a sketchy background and poor craftsmanship. Some say it was a poor decision on my part, but in my opinion a friend in need should not be looked upon lightly and I can only hope the same view is shed on me should I fall into a position of need. Even my own mother said that I've always been too kind-hearted and that I need to stop helping when the result puts me on the shorter end. I strongly disagree and firmly believe that if this world is to continue to be one of decency and hopefully change for the better, there should be more people with The Golden Rule as thier base for judgement and decision making. So now it is time to show what I/we can do as a tuner(s) and see this goal to fruition.
What we are working with: 1999 Sc2 @ 10psi with a T04e.50/t3.48
