need assistance with a saturn

[bluethunderf150]

my 95 saturn sc2 1.9 dohc is in dire need of a turbo. i love the look of this car and i want it to be fast. a buddy told me he had a friend that ran one of these at 350hp with stock internals for three years. i was thinking of rebuilding the engine with forged internals, but if i CAN get 350hp with stock engine i would. i have been looking for months for parts but cannot find anything at all. any help anybody can give me would be much appreciated

you could always do a remote mount setup too.

 

i kind of want to try one, with its own self contained oiling system.

[bluethunderf150]

seems like alot of money to still not be fast. with that turbo kit on it still only made 272. I would sell it OR motor swap a V8 into it, then you can talk serious numbers.

In addition to what I said in your PM (which was a highly intoxicated attempt at humor), there are a couple things I should point out.

 

A) you will not make 350hp on the LL0 with stock internals. It won't happen. I'm assuming your friend or whoever you talked to may have a Redline with a 2.2. That I could see making 350hp.

 

B) AlphaTuning (the link above) has been making kits for a while. Mike's stuff isn't cheap, and it's guaranteed to work. I'm not sure how long he's been in the business, but clearly he doesn't do just Saturn kits or he wouldn't have a business.

 

I had my car dyno'd on an old setup with the stock internals with a sweet boost spike and made 272wtq/262whp. That was a spike up to about 17psi around 5100rpms and then it dropped back down to 12psi.

 

The current setup (the link Gearhead posted) made 338whp/317wtq on a DynoJet earlier this year, and then 379whp/334wtq on a DynaPack a few months ago in Hotlanta.

 

So... close to 400hp in a 2400lb plastic box is pretty fun I guess. If I could go back in time I would have saved my money though.
