1986 Mustang GT racing Saturn

[FM3Champs]

what mods did u have and what tire was on the back

[WildWillyWalker]

@FM3Champs Uhh, offroad h-pipe, flowmasters, and 410 gears. The engine was extremely tired and needed freshened up hardcore. The tires are 275/60/15 Mickey Thompson ET Streets on stock 10 holes which are 15x7.

[FM3Champs]

@WildWillyWalker i have a 86 gt with original motor and it has 300k miles on it. i took it to the track with an x pipe on it and it ran 14.80 @ 92

[julianbusty]

@WildWillyWalker what yea is that saturn, how much was it for the rebulid of the engine cause i am looking in doing so

[WildWillyWalker]

@julianbusty The Saturn is like a 98 or something. You do know the mustang has the engine work done though right? The Saturn is not my car. It all depends what you want to do. I got a gasket/bearing/piston/etc kit from summit for $6xx. I also did an h/c/i and MAF conversion. I probably spent $3000-$4000. I didn't do it right though.

[Ranzear]

Saturn is an auto. Low 16 is about right then no matter what you throw at the engine.

[deltaxr19]

sounds like the saturn started out in 2nd

[Boltz87]

What did these two run?

[WildWillyWalker]

Well my stang ran a high 15 and the Saturn ran a low 16... I think at least.

[katiexlauren]

wow both those cars are junk

[WildWillyWalker]

Well now that's no way to make friends.

[cmanrocs]

wow, i must be really gone

i meant 1991, my brain has taken a leave of absence

[cmanrocs]

well you're right, never believe everything you hear even from car enthusiasts

124hp and 2440lbs

but the sohc is actually rated at 85hp

[Frostman182]

Corrected again. Early TBI SOHC motors were 85 HP. After I believe 94 ALL SOHC went to MPFI and were rated for 100 HP. DOHC motors never changed much HP wise.

[cmanrocs]

you are right

but i wasn't thinking clearly because my friend has an sohc from 89

heck, mine died 2 weeks ago anyway, got a chevy lumina w/ a 3.5 (not stock)

[Frostman182]

lol dude, Saturn didn't start producing cars until 1991... did you mean 99?

[cmanrocs]

yea, the 1.9 twin cam is what i have but its only 100hp which isnt a problem since the car only weighs in at 1200lbs.

put a turbo in it and it flies until you get to 126. then the dang computer shuts down, gotta find out how to get that little "problem" fixed.

[funkysatty]

your info is off-124hp at dohc motor, around 2400lbs. the sohc has 100hp

[3000gtvr4turbo1000]

mods???

[smokeytgirl]

excuse my spelling in that last comment. but yeah my saturn is a fun little car but once you hit 126 mph thats all it has.

[tvwilleatyou]

If you must have an SC2. I heard of people putting the 5th gear from a 1 series and getting better gas milage and a better top speed. You should be able to do about 138 mph. If that doesn't then you'll need to mod for more power. Also change the tires. The stock tires can only handle about 125 mph according to the manual.

[Frostman182]

Stock ECU in SX2 series are limited to 127 MPH. So unless you had a hacked ECU or full stand alone you wouldn't have to worry about going over 125 mph often.

[tvwilleatyou]

But if you change the 5th gear then you should be able to go faster with fewer RPM's. Thus obtaining the higher speeds with the same rev-limit, right? Also, the SW2 and the SL2 are rev limited at 108 mph. The SC2 is the only S-series limited around 125.

[Frostman182]

Correct correct and correct! I must have wrote that when I woke up lol And yes that is a very good idea! Swap a MP2 final 5th into a MP3. Sounds like it might work. Also, going to a bigger tire size will increase top speed, but you would need a GPS to know how fast you actually are going.

[cheatingsolitaire]

its not a rev limiter though so the taller gears won't affect the limiter. You need more power to get much above 130 and at that time you will be beyound bolt ons and want to run a standalone anyways.

[Frostman182]

The VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) is read off of the differential. So once it hits the ECU limit, it cuts fuel.

But you are right, if you really need to go faster than stock you are definitely looking at full standalone.

[cheatingsolitaire]

yeah i see what you're saying, all aside, it takes a stock s series ungawdfully long to keep moving past a hundred mph haha

[montecar87ss]

Bull. i did 115 yesterday in my 93 sl2

[Boltz87]

I've been over 120 in my 96 SL2 auto

[smokeytgirl]

i love may sc2 its a 93 but i hat it that it shuts the power down at 126 mph.

[stevethepokieman]

awh shit Saturn's own

[cookster3333]

man i have a saturn that has boost and turbo it fast as fuck i love saturn the 1.9 twin cam is a powerful motor

[WildWillyWalker]

AND I suck at driving. It was just for fun though.

[digiforce]

this is a correct video its possibe to beat a mustang but not a gt man, not without boost or something,. come on

[nasonguy]

Heck yes man, I've beat stock stangs in my (lightly) modded SC2, no boost, no juice, just pure N/A power baby, showing those 5.0's where it's at, lol.
