bluethunderf150 Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Removed Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 you could always do a remote mount setup too. i kind of want to try one, with its own self contained oiling system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oh8sti Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tristanlee85 Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
