NO more Terdbo Saturn *Updated
 
Last week my friend Francis and I installed an IHI RHB5 from a 88 Thunderchicken on my Saturn. I got wood. 10 psi, methanol injection, a couple more fuel injectors, dozens of zip-ties, and lots of fabrication (HUGE props to Francis for that O0).

Custom relocated AC compressor because I am a whiney bitch when I don't have AC!

Ignore the duct tape and hack job vac lines. They are fixed now. We just wanted to get the damn thing running and it was after 3am.

High quality GM pannel gaps: STANDARD

Also, my friend Kelly (again, more props) and I just installed an ACT 6 puck clutch last night. Overkill, but I was so pissed about the old clutch not being able to hold like 150hp that I just went and bought it. Try to make that bitch slip!


This whole process taught me just how little I know about cars. Luckily, I have a few kick-ass friends that are just as geeked as I am to make a sloow turd just a little less slow for cheap.

Saab bpv, nice :6

Ever plan on installing an intercooler? Even something small like a DSM sidemount would be a decent improvement.

That sharp 90 coupler near the throttle body hurts to look at, I'd look for something a little smoother.

Nice setup overall.

webbarnet>me. sorry bout the big pics. I like 'em big anyhow, like my bitches! O0 And whatch who you call ------. I prefer cracker, honkey, milkshake, saltine, or Polock.

The sharp ass 90 was cheap as ----, so I'm gonna rock it for a while. Eventually I want to redo all the piping with steel or aluminum. First on the list is a hogged-out twin cam head I have collecting dust. Probably switch when I blow this motor sky high.

Intercooler, well, the methanol takes care of that for now. It starts injecting at 2 psi, 50% pressure, then ramps up to 100% pressure at 7 psi. So far I have no pinging and the thing runs hard and cool. Better than I expected.

I would like to run a megasquirt in the future, doing away with the extra-injector setup. I could also make that run the meth injection, eliminating one more black box. Then again, every asshat has a dream. 10% come true. I am not holding my breath.
