Custom Turbo Saturn Sc2 -house Of Kolor Holset Turbocharger Tial Wastegate Enkei on 2040-cars
Indianapolis, Indiana, United States
|
This car speaks for itself.
I built this car over the past few years and have used only quality,
brand name parts. I guarantee you will
never see another Saturn like it, and will be hard pressed to see this level of
detail in any car you might encounter. Exterior: I shaved the gas door and emblems. There is an RCI aluminum fuel cell in the
spare tire well with a Walbro 255 inline fuel pump. The front bumper is something I
fabricated. Not only will you not see
another like it, it does wonders for the look of the car and adds a lot of
airflow to the intercooler. I painted
the body using House of Kolor True Blue Pearl, except for the hood, headlight
doors, and roof - which are black. The
wheels are Enkei DM5s. The tires have very little wear. Two of the wheels have small bends due to
potholes, but they do not cause any leaks.
Also, there is a scuff on the passenger rear quarter panel/bumper area
where I got too close to the garage when backing it in. It is not noticeable until you get very close. There is also a very small knick in the front
bumper. As far as I know,
these are the only defects on the car. I
welcome anyone to come see the car in person, even with those small issues it
is a magnificent vehicle. Interior: The interior is black vinyl with blue cloth (similar color
to body). There are racing seats with
4-point harnesses, which utilize a custom harness bar. The bar is powder coated
a blue that is very similar to the body.
I also have four Autometer gauges: Fuel level, oil pressure, boost, EGT,
and an AEM wideband AFR; all custom mounted.
In addition, I replaced the factory carpet with a brand new black
carpet. There is also a true short-throw
shifter with an aluminum knob. The
shifter has reworked arms, not just “chopped” to make it shorter. There is also an aftermarket AM/FM/CD player. Engine: The engine was completely torn down, thoroughly cleaned,
then built using all brand new parts. I
used SCAT forged rods and .040” over Sealed Power pistons. The CR is about 8.8:1. The oil pump, water pump, timing kit,
bearings and seals are all new. The head
is ported and polished and I installed ARP head studs and stainless steel exhaust studs. The crankshaft was machined and
balanced. The intake manifold has been
re-worked and bored to 3” from the throttle body all the way to the plenum. I welded a new mounting plate to accommodate
a 3” GM throttle body. I used a Fel-Pro
silicone valve cover gasket and the valve cover has been powder coated blue to
match the paint. The ignition uses MSD
coil packs with Accel 8mm wires. The
fuel rail has been polished and accepts a SS braided line with AN
fittings. The TAM mount is custom made
and uses Energy Suspension poly bushings.
The dogbone mounts are also custom made out of T6061 aluminum and also
use the Energy poly bushings. I custom mounted
an aluminum half radiator with a 12” SPAL fan to clear the turbo setup. The battery location was moved and I installed
a small race battery. The transmission
has a welded differential pin so you don’t have to worry about it coming out
with the added power. Also, the
transmission is fully hand polished. The
pullies and brackets are also powder coated blue. All
new stainless bolts and hardware were used.
I promise you that the level of detail here is very, very rare. There are 55 miles on the new build. Turbo Setup: I used a 1/2 ” mild steel flange and fabricated an equal-length turbo manifold using Sch. 40 stainless steel.
The turbo flange and wastegate flange are also 1/2 ” and mild steel. The turbocharger is a Holset H1C. Apparently, there are two sizes of H1C
turbos; this is the larger one. I can
get numbers off of it if you need me to.
The wastegate is a 38mm Tial. The
downpipe and exhaust system are 3” stainless steel. I have a Flowmaster 70 Series muffler, which splits to
two, 2.5” outlets for a dual exhaust. I
have video clips of the exhaust if you would like to see how it sounds (amazing
sound, lots of turbo whistle). The
intercooler piping is all 2.5” and is powder coated gunmetal. I have a good size front mount intercooler
with 2.5” in/out. All oil and fuel lines are SS braided with AN fittings. I currently do not
have a spring in the wastegate as the car is running off of the factory computer, but I
do have several springs I will include.
I have installed a MegaSquirt stand-alone fuel system, but have not used
or tuned it. I have installed MOLEX
connectors that make changing between the factory computer and MegaSquirt
easy. All the extra sensors needed for
the MegaSquirt are also installed. The
car is fully drivable, but I would suggest not driving it until it has been
tuned using the MegaSquirt or a different system of your choosing. I’m sure I have left out something, I have simply done so
much to this car that it is hard to remember everything. The pictures speak for themselves; this
really is a remarkable car. If you have
any questions, I will do my best to answer them. If you would like to see the car in person,
please contact me. If the weather is accommodating,
we can take it around my neighborhood. I
will drive and we won’t go far, as I don’t have it plated or insured. The reserve is MUCH lower than the car is worth, I could easily get $5000 by parting it out and selling the car separately, but I don’t really have time for that, so the reserve is WELL under that. Again, if you have any questions or need more pictures, feel free to ask. On Mar-17-14 at 20:11:39 PDT, seller added the following information: |

Junkyard Gem: 2007 Saturn Sky
Sat, Jun 26 2021The Pontiac Division didn't have long to live when the Solstice first appeared in 2005 as a 2006 model, and Saturn's head was inching toward the chopping block at about the same rate. Still, optimism reigned — at least, it did until the global economy fell apart — and so Saturn Dealers got a rebadged version of the Solstice to sell: the Sky. Available for just the 2007 through 2010 model years, slightly more than 34,000 Skies rolled out of showrooms before the doors were nailed shut. Here's one of those rare cars, found in a Denver-area self-service yard a few weeks ago. I've found a handful of discarded Solstices in car graveyards during the past few years, mostly with crash damage. This Sky endured a medium-hard impact in the right front corner, which sent it to this place. The 177-horsepower, 2.4-liter Ecotec still resides under the battered hood. The Sky Redline version had a turbocharged engine rated at 260 horses; we can assume that such an engine would be yanked and purchased by the first junkyard shopper that realized what it was. The base transmission in the Sky was an Aisin five-speed manual, but this car has the optional five-speed automatic. The Sky had its own nose and some different badging, but otherwise didn't differ much from the Solstice. For the South Korean market, the Sky got Daewoo G2X badges and was advertised as the ideal vehicle for high-speed chases through Seoul traffic. The same car went to Europe as the Opel GT. Sadly, GM ran out of money to make right-hand-drive Skies, so we never got to witness Holden or Vauxhall versions. Here's Bob Lutz describing the new Sky. Lutz really hated car names molded into plastic bumper covers, so he takes great care here to describe the genuine glued-on emblems. Related Video:
Cars with the most reckless drivers are full of surprises
Wed, Oct 13 2021Insurify is a site for comparing auto insurance quotes. Because insurance shoppers need to submit information like the vehicles they're driving and the infractions they've compiled while driving those vehicles, Insurify has quite the database of correlations tying certain models to a habit of breaking certain laws. When the site's data analysts decided to compile a list of the top ten models for reckless driving citations in the decade from 2010 to 2019, the ranking contained a few wild entries. The Dodge Challenger making the countdown will surprise precisely zero people. But the Saturn L200? First, a definition: USLegal.com defines reckless driving as "driving with a willful or wanton disregard for safety. It is the operation of an automobile under such circumstances and in such a manner as to show a willful or reckless disregard of consequences." So this list is a caution about particular drivers more than the cars. For a baseline, according to Insurify data, for any random model, 15 out of 10,000 people who drive that model have picked up one citation for reckless driving. Back to that Challenger, then. No shocker for being here, but it's actually number 10, with 44 out of 10,000 Challenger drivers nabbed for a willful disregard of consequences on the road. That's better than the first surprise entry, the Saturn L200, a sedan only on sale for six years, with the least horsepower on the list, and out of production since 2005. The data set put drivers of GM's extraterrestrial sedan at 45 reckless pilots per 10,000 drivers. There are two pickups on the list, the only modern one being the Ram 1500 at eighth, with a rate of 46 in 10,000. Somehow, drivers of the third-best-selling pickup in the U.S. outrun the overwhelming numerical superiority of the best-selling vehicle in the States, the Ford F-150. The other pickup is the Chevrolet K1500 at number five, with a rate of 56 in 10,000. This is not only the oldest vehicle on the list, it went out of production in 2002, before any other vehicle on the list. Between the trucks, the Volkswagen CC slotted in at seven with 47 in 10,000 reckless driving chits, the Cadillac ATS slipped into sixth with 48 in 10,000. The top four is a bag of unexpected. The Nissan 370Z is the first hardcore sports car on the list at number four, with 61 in 10,000 Z drivers flaunting their Fairladys in the face of Johnny Law.
Guess when this car will plunge through the ice, win $1,500
Mon, Feb 18 2019In Michigan's Upper Peninsula, a sad-sack Saturn raises money for charity while awaiting an icy fate. The 1998 Saturn is a bright orange beacon inviting folks to make a bet on the coming of spring. When the weather warms up enough and this Saturn sinks, someone is going to take home $1,500. It's the Iron Mountain–Kingsford Rotary Club's annual car-plunge contest, a fundraiser that takes bets on when this car will fall through the ice. The contest had been run in years past and was resurrected in 2015. In the old days, the hapless cars sank to the bottom of the lake, which is actually a flooded old iron mine. In today's more enlightened environmental era, this Saturn is attached to a cable affixed to an anchor on shore, allowing it to be yanked out of the water. It also has been drained of all fluids, degreased, and had its powertrain, battery, and radiator removed (which means it weighs about 1,800 pounds). The lake sits alongside a main highway, assuring maximum visibility for the car and the contest. But it's not only locals who are invited to take a chance; anyone 18 and over can bet via this online link. Ten dollars buys three chances. Whoever most closely guesses the date and time that the Saturn slips under the waves takes home $1,500. Betting closes March 15. The past four years have seen the car fall through on March 17, April 2, April 4, and April 26 — although, as they say, past performance is no guarantee of future returns. And remember: Bet with your head, not over it. Here's video of last year's fateful moment ...
