Please don't forget to rate my ride!
Here's my turbocharged 2002 SC2. This car has been the recipient of most of my free time and most of my money for a couple of years now. It makes me laugh to think that this all started when I first bought a cold air intake for it as the first mod!
This is the "finished" result. I've tried to keep the exterior looking clean with no huge wing and plastered with stickers! I say "finished" as I'm always tinkering with it.
Interior mods are limited as I'm not a big fan of painted interiors or a cabin full of neon lights. Here again a clean, thought-out look was the objective.
The door sills are for a Porsche 911 Turbo but surprisingly enough, also fit on a Saturn SC Turbo! lol!
Now this is where the magic happens! : )
There's a Garrett T3s60 turbo buried in there attached to a custom made manifold and downpipe. If you're familiar with Saturn engines, you'll note I had to relocate the coil packs to make room for the wastegate actuator.
Here you can see the manifold, turbo and exhaust downpipe I fab'd.
The supplimental fuel injectors are somewhat visible above the strut bar. I also ditched the blue plug wires for black ones.
It is intercooled, via a modded Mitsubishi I/C. I had to chop the factory piping off and reweld the pipes to the side of the tanks to make it work. What a pain!
Front and rear disc brakes and a view of the 2" drop. It stops hard and bottoms-out even harder!
My system's pretty basic, nothing too exciting here as audio stuff's not really my thing. Someday I probably should do more here...I dunno. It does sound good though!
The datalogging software I'm running. Please note the data shown is just an example and not my actual engine data.
The fuel is supplied by two additional 480cc injectors that add fuel when under boost. The fuel map below allows me to control the injector pulsewidth to get a nearly perfect fuel tune. No engine kaboom for me! (famous last words, I know!)
The fueling is controlled through my laptop, (which is just perched on the seat in that picture), as well as the datalogging. The display unit below the deck is the real-time display of the engine's EGT's, boost pressure, Lambda and AFR as measured by the wideband oxygen sensor.
The laptop hooks up here. The cables run through the center console and out under the passenger seat.
