Guess its time to stop lurking and creeping.
Quick run down on myself, my name is Hans, been around saturns for quite awhile. I had this crazy dream to modify one when I was younger. Hey I've always been into different, and saturn is... different haha. Well time passes, I grow up, get a job, next thing I know I have money to buy a car. The whole saturn thing came back to me and I went shopping around for one. Then I had a wild idea to turbo charge one, realized I wouldnt know what the heck I was doing, so I ended up finding this site last march, I read for hours on end. ended up getting an account in july? so I could PM members some noob questions without getting my butt kicked by everyone hah.
But well, alot of time has passed, I've done my homework, and I'm still here to read daily.
Also, thankyous out to Yuki n Jason for putting up with my PM's, thanks for getting my feet on the ground.
Well the car and parts:
5 speed, 01 saturn sc2.
Going to be running a 2.25 downpipe(couldnt get a 2.5 to fit right) to a 2.5 exhaust split to dual, no cat, with resonator and dual fart cans.
Pretty much a mix of JDM and Chinese parts, I figured some of yuki's luck will make its way over here haha.
I'm not gunna list of any parts cuz your welcome to assume everything is foreign and bought off ebay.
Well the turbo is a Chinese basement made t3/t4, I forget the trim atm but its on the larger side.
I'll be running 30's injectors from a supra.
Tuning with Wbo2,
I'm not sure weather to go with MS1 v3 or MS1 v2.2, suggestions?
Part 1 goal(stock clutch and internals): 200whp
Part 2 goal(Spec stage 3 clutch and forged goodies): 250whp
This project build is probably being done differently from almost everyone else's,
The original idea was to take it to this custom shop and have them do all things welding. After that all work was gunna be done by me and a friend(he welds but doesnt like to).
Well I take the car to the shop and the owners son takes it on as one of his projects, after the first week hes way into it. next thing I know hes asking if he can see it through to the end. That means more money out of my pocket but now I know its going to be done right and my friend(hes actually 50yrs old) and my dad kept picking fun at me for this so it felt nice to have some one who wants to actually do it.
So now its turned into me as the brains and knowledge and him as the skills and creativity and tools.
And this is where we're at:
(see pictures, descending order of oldest to newest.)
I'm gunna keep updating this first post with random questions for you guys:
1st. Would you guys recommend Spec clutches for our saturns? If so, for my plan hp build should I go with a Spec stage 2 or 3?
