looks pretty good man. I knew a guy a while back that wanted to get serious about building his saturn, but after blowing 3 transmissions in 40k miles i think he just gave up, oh yeah, this was on like I/H/E and the car wasnt fast either... hows yours hold up?

Wow tranys? I have done a bit of reasearch on the turbo saturns and I always thought the tranys where the strongest link. I blew my motor after dawging the car for about a month. She ran hard but was not tuned. I also ran no intercooler witch I think was part of the problem. I got a new engine built and it's in the process of starting but I'm having timing problems. Either w/ the cams or the ignition. Once I get it done I'm puting a biger turbo Of a Supra/Mr2. I want to make it header style again. The old T3 spooled at 1750 rpm. It ran smoothly torquey and my trany held up nicley. I guess cuz the weight of the car it was easy to run out the hole. I want to do it again. I'll get better pics If I can Find em.

Thanks
Gio

P.S. I ran the car really hard that month so bad the clutch needs a replacement.

Looks good... manual tranny or auto? The auto's are supposed to be good for ~240 whp with no modification. DOHC is the way to go, those SOHC's suck terribly, although the SOHC blocks are supposed to be identical, minus the rods and pistons, so if you ever build a block keep that in mind. Good luck with it
