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: |

GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes
Mon, 01 Oct 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
Car thief lands Saturn on Fresno roof
Fri, 06 Jan 2012Residents of a Fresno, California apartment building recently awoke to debris falling from their ceiling after a car thief managed to execute a perfect parking job on the structure's roof. Police say 26-year-old Benjamin Tucker stole the Saturn sedan from a nearby house before striking either a curb or some rocks, vaulting the vehicle into the air and onto the roof. After seeing his predicament, Tucker leapt from the roof and fled the scene. Or at least he tried to. Tucker broke his leg in the fall and only made it around a quarter of a mile from the crash when police picked him up.
No one else was harmed in the stunt.
Tucker had two outstanding warrants for his arrest at the time for a hit-and-run and evading police. A special crane had to be called in to remove the Saturn from the apartment roof and the structure will indeed require repairs. Hit the jump for a news report on the incident.
303 Deaths Tied To Airbag Non-Deployment In 2 General Motors' Cars
Fri, Mar 14 2014At least 303 motorists died in car accidents after their airbags didn't deploy in now-recalled General Motors vehicles, according to a study released late last night. The Center for Auto Safety, a non-profit automotive watchdog, reviewed data from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System, and counted deaths involving the Chevrolet Cobalt and Saturn Ion, two vehicles at the heart of several ongoing investigations, to reach its conclusion. If the airbag non-deployments were the result of a faulty ignition switch that inadvertently turns them off, the death toll would be the largest in automotive history attributed to a single defect, surpassing the 250 deaths investigators linked to defective Firestone Tires more than a decade ago. The rising death toll would further amplify questions about why GM and federal safety regulators at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration didn't act sooner to correct the problem. Safety advocates have said both GM and NHTSA failed to act in a timely fashion to alert motorists of the dangers posed by the dangerous defect, of which documents GM had knowledge of as early as 2001 and NHTSA knew about in 2007. "The question today for NHTSA is how so many ... death reports without an airbag deployment and so many FARS deaths without an airbag deployment failed to trigger an investigation," wrote Clarence Ditlow, the executive director of the Center for Auto Safety. "... For the people who died or were seriously injured in crashes, the answer comes too late." GM has acknowledged 13 deaths related to the problem, and says the number cited by the Center for Auto Safety study is "speculation." The review of FARS data, conducted by Friedman Research at the request of the Center for Auto Safety, looked at fatal cases in which airbags did not deploy but did not analyze the causes of the crashes. FARS information is raw data submitted to a national database by state and local authorities when fatal accidents occur. Last month, GM recalled 1.37 million cars in the U.S. because a faulty ignition switch had been inadvertently moving from the "run" position to the "accessory" position, turning off engines and systems that provide power to airbags. "Shame is not a strong enough word," said Lou Lombardo, the founder of Care for Crash Victims, another safety-minded nonprofit that advocates for accident victims. The results of the CAS study were first reported by the New York Times.
