Re:TURBO SATURN?
 

this is funny

sumbody75 and i are both from wisconny....he has a saturn and a camaro both which he is planning on boosting..... i have my crx w/ built d16y8 + buying a civic tomorrow that will see boost.



sumbody75 is currently putting together a kit for his 93?? saturn....should be a ---- load of fun. there is a site called turbosaturn.com i think too....

Re:TURBO SATURN?
 

My buddy had a badass 4 door Saturn. It ran 13.5 on the bottle and this was back in 98' so that was hotness back than.



A turbo Saturn would be cool, something different so go for it.

Re:TURBO SATURN?
 

I think the saturns come with the ECOTEC engine...so yeah...boost it

Re:TURBO SATURN?
 

I have seen a couple turboed saturns. I'm sure there have to be people makin mnaifolds etc for them. I know gude had a turbo kit for some saturns but gude stuff is way overpriced.

Re:TURBO SATURN?
 

my moms 99 sl2 has a 1.9dohc 140 hp lots of tq.. its like a turbo ls possibly better. it is faster than a civic ex stock and a ls integra... id build one to be different

Re:TURBO SATURN?
 

I used to have the 95 civic turbo, 14b 10psi ;D. but then i got jacked and no full covarge >:( so i decided maybe with a saturn i could get away from geting my car jacked and be diffrent. i went to cars.com and they got a great rating. and they are very cheap too. but fuel management looks hard, and ideals?

Re:TURBO SATURN?
 

i dont know if saturn's are peak and hold or saturated or whatever...but you can run a afc controller and do it that way possibly with some 450cc's if you can fit them...

there is a stand alone out there soem where becuase i have a video of a guy named "titan" that has turbo saturn he is racing a 240sx or whatever and he is tuning it ,.. blah blah blha .. sparks out the tail pipe...blah blah...

so there is a stand alone...no idea for price...

afc controller is always an option otherwise fmu unit + msd unit...

Re:TURBO SATURN?
 

another option would be to take that 4k, spend $1000 on a nice crx, and take the rest and get a decent motor, build the kit and get a really nice alarm...

Re:TURBO SATURN?
 

One of my friends has a boosted 1998 SC2 with a kit he built himself. if you want to check it out there are some pics http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/443207

LMFAO. There's a 100 mph club????????

Re:TURBO SATURN?
 

We are close to a NHRA drag strip. And they have clubs starting at 100-180 in the street class. I guess its kind of like braging rights ir something like that

Re:TURBO SATURN?
 

I live near Maple Grove Raceway and I never got one of those sticker. I feel cheated...

Re:TURBO SATURN?
 

I didn't see any times, but 100mph is about 13.4 with perfect traction, or 14.0 in a FWD car, hehe...

My wife likes the 3-door saturns, and I drive a 93' SL1 beater to work everyday that I paid $800 for 2 years ago.

The engine has done me good, but the interoir parts are just insanely nasty !!

Even the torque in my SL1 5-speed impressed me a little !! But it also helps my civic FEEL like an 11sec car after I only drive the saturn for a while, hehe...

#1 reason not to buy a saturn ??... ITS AMERICAN !!!
Sad enough, I'd feel better about turboing my 150K mile SL1 than my 50K mile ford focus, hehe... Fords are the worse, hehe ( minus powerstrokes and cobras )...

Re:TURBO SATURN?
 

It CAN be done. Heres my buudy Joey (bagodonuts). I worked for him a few years back, good fellow cheap parts for Saturns. My fat ass is even in the Staff section hehe (Derek) We built a sub 13 sec turbo Saturn and let me tell you that thing rips and is a super sleeper http://6thplanetusedparts.com/accessories2.html

Re:TURBO SATURN?
 

My Turbo Ford Escort has been treating me good. 8)
They did come factory turbo'd in the 80's, the motors have'nt changed much, just more displacement, high compresstion and minus the turbo. But the OEM turbo manifolds still fit.

Anyway's here's the turbo saturn page

Re: TURBO SATURN?
 

I made my own turbo saturn. I used SDS racetec stand alone. It is almost plug and play. she ran tourqy but smooth.

Re: TURBO SATURN?
 

where are the pics?

Re: TURBO SATURN?
 

This is one old ass thread, i passed on the crappy saturn and went ls/vtec on boost

Re:TURBO SATURN?
 

Hmmm. I was with my friend Dave in his turbo LS and an older saturn 4dr tried to race us and it seemed to keep up alright for a bit. It was in the Boyertown area so I wonder if it was the same guy. That would be weird but I really doubt a saturn on the bottle lasted 8 years...

Re: TURBO SATURN?
 

Its definitely not the same car. The Saturn I was talking about is long gone.
