Blue Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 Meh, never got involved with that war. I don't think forum wars make much sense.I never got "involved" persay. I was constantly flamed on Saturnfans, even by the mods, for wanting to turbo my SC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud81918 Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 I never got "involved" persay. I was constantly flamed on Saturnfans, even by the mods, for wanting to turbo my SC. Hell, I may have even been one who flamed you. I admit I constantly tried to talk people out of spending a bunch of money on those cars. They are great little cars, but I can't see doubling or more their value and ending up with a pretty heavily compromised car. To me sometimes people modify a certain car just because it is what they have, when if they thought about the money they'd spend they could buy something more like what they want. I mean if you have a boatload of money go for it, but most times it was always a story of, "No money, but I want to make 400HP and drag race Vipers". You are better off here, building a Starquest if you want some speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be fun, and if done correctly, decently quick. It was(and is) a long term project of mine. Not a drag racer, not a steet warrior, just something different. Like my Conquest.

polarisman14 Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Turbo'd saturns are fast. Very, very fast. The issue is finding someone to tune it for you which is pretty tough and unless you want to shell out some serious green for an Alpha tuning turbo kit then you gotta know how to weld and fabricate which isn't an option for everyone. A buddy of mine has a fully built race head and some QuickSL2 copy turbo cams for his SC2...I'm trying to convince him to stick with it and turbo the thing.

Dave-O Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 If I decide to keep the G54B, I'll probably run two stock 12as in parallel on a custom manifold. This of course would be used with an MPI setup, possibly a cam as well. I'd like to see what kind of mid-range power the old iron 2.6 can muster, and it would he fun to have two snails in the bay.

Cloud81918 Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 A guy built a twin turbo Saturn. He used 2 old turbos off of some Dodges. It was cool looking and about as fast as if he used one turbo. The old small turbos were nearly free. Spooled they made a really cool sound too.
