I bought my 93' Saturn Sc1 roughly two years ago and haven't done much, but i have improved it and want to keep track and maybe help some new people on fixing and improving their cars.
I will post pictures of the progress, and old events soon. *BUILD THREAD WORK IN PROGRESS.
- Bought car for $300 with 95,000 miles on it Stock. Had EGR problem, that i later diagnosed and solved, needed many sensors and Much tlc. Bucking idle and bad gas mileage.
- Since i know a guy that is in collage for engines and transmissions i was allowed to bring my car in so he could "learn" about automotive repair.
- Diagnosed the problem... Well problems... There were 7 or more problems in the obd1 scan.
- Replaced knock sensor, idle air control sensor, Coolant temp sensor, Top motor mount, Coil pack, wires, plugs, oil/filter, coolant, and plenty more i can't think of right now. Put cone filter on stock intake WOO HOO! +25 WHP!
- Found the MAIN problem, the EGR valve, and then deleted it, along with my a/c.
- Started building CAI with friends old injen intake tube, spectre filter and heat shield Bored and tapered throttle body, smoothed and polished. Knife edged throttle plate.
- Ordered OBX 4-1 race header and installed it the day it came.
- Drove with open header, pissed of neighbors.
- Gutted interior.
- Next day had custom 2 1/2 exhaust system built. Header-2 1/2 tubing- Can.
- Ordered strut bar, painted mounts red and installed the day after it came.
- Played around with some new power cruising Gratiot. : ]
- Year and a half period ^^
- Engine trouble, knocking, and smoke.
- Currently ripping engine out and having professionally rebuilt.
