  • Awesome 1st-gen. Saw a 2nd-gen with 460 whp once.

  • Hey man, at 1:51 was that a homecoming saturn??? That would be AWESOME!

  • Hey man, at minute 1:51 was that a homecoming saturn???  That would be AWESOME!

  • @checky314 Sure is a Homecoming Saturn. Used to be my DD, now its my parents extra car.

  • hey man i have that exact car. i want to do all performance mods. any tips on where to start?

  • @bassjunkie182 get a better platform to start with and keep the saturn as a daily driver.

  • where did you get the turbo and all the piping, i have a 94 with the twin cam and a five speed that i wanna turbo

  • i need help...i wanted to know if saturn is much better then hondas?? or are they equal??? i mean on speed .....nd wat car would win if a turbo saturn runs agains a turbo honda??? need help please i want to get a car but idk wat car to pik...honda or saturn????

  • @tuangelitotequiere a Honda would be easier to find parts for because every ricer has one. I like the saturns better, they look nicer, run better, built better and just ride nicer. Saturns are cheap, you can find them everywhere, but since everyone wants a honda, they are expensive to find, and if you get a cheap one, it will have a lot of problems.

  • that's pretty badass for a saturn. i do like how people say they are pooches and this kinda disproves that.

  • i can get my stock 99 sl2 to 115. nothing too special about this one going 100 ahah

  • the the beat when house comes on lol thats cool

  • dude you're fucking awesome!

  • House!

  • Whats done to your exhaust? I like how yours sounds kind of like a subaru. I myself have a turbo saturn but doesnt sound anywhere as good as yours. If anything mines sounds like an N/A with bolt ons but without the rasp.

  • I have a 95SW2 with a T3 running between 8-12 psi minor mods i found a low mileage out of a totaled 01 twin cam i used the bottom end (stronger block ) stock crank/rods forged low compression pistons stock head just Pand P, fuel pump/injector and regulator increased,and "POWER MODULE" OBD1 program (MAPPED) and dyno tuned all mods under 2,500.... 237@6200 rpm/ 196 lb-ft@ 2150, MY " PLASTIC TORPEDO" weighs 2,436 with me.. sleepers unite!!!

  • at 3:20 was that a cop? lol

  • @longwavefurry I thought the same.. especially when josh whistled

  • I have a 1994 saturn sl2 twin cam 5 speed(of course;-)) did you have to rebuild the engine and change the injectors?

  • @weapondragon You don't have to rebuild the motor but you will need bigger injectors. If you are only running about 5 lbs of boost you don't need to rebuild, but anything above that you really should becuase of the higher combustion temps. Also get better rings, as the stock ones have so much blow by.

  • @joshg678 hey my car is sa saturn sl1 2002....how do increase power because it runs normal but sluggish and definitely not qualified to race.

  • @runhorun Do a swap to a DOHC head.

  • @weapondragon and weld the differential pin in the transmission

  • not to fast but you wouldn't expect too much from a bolt on turbo on a saturn with 141k miles on it ... however nice work seems to run really well after the mods

  • I have the exact same car... just with the stock alloy wheels (and no turbo). I don't particularly care for the performance, but I've had the thing since 1999 and it WILL NOT DIE!! I've been trying to drive it into the ground so I can get a new car already (I refuse to have a payment when I still have a car I own outright), and I'm up to 300K+ miles, and aside from the exhaust getting a little louder, it's still like the day I bought it!

  • Original Motor?

  • any new video yet on how fast this thing can go 0-60? Would like to see if its worth while to put a turbo in my 95 SL1

  • i have a old ass shit 94 saturn sl2 just like this one but my car is ugly with missin body parts the mother fucker barely turns on and its still fast ass shit i love my car.

    and i raced a stock honda accord on a stock tahoe and whooped it so honda sucks ass !

  • i own a 2000 saturn and i gotta tell u i love it. but i keep blowin holes in my tranny

    sucks ass cuz i enjoy driving it

  • My 2002 Saturn SL1 is completely stock and I got it up to 110 the other day. I was shocked haha.

  • My stock '92 was good for 125. I sure loved that car. Sold it about 6 years ago and the guy that bought it is still driving it. Kids were getting too big for the back seat.

  • i gotta ask, how's the shifting?

    i have an sl2, it's all stock, and the shifting is pretty much rubbish...did/do u have the same problem?

  • I love my 97 Saturn!

  • its funny people don't know shit about a Saturn, saying it's a crap car, even though it's about as quick as a stock honda civic stock and actually has a really nice getup speed with a cold air intake, and it had great room for turbo/supercharger..just a random thought

  • @SI1SHAD They are pretty fast stock, usually faster then a civic in my experience.

  • @joshg678 agreed!

  • @joshg678 the problem is that civics aren't fast to begin with LMFAO. and plus front wheel drive blows.

  • @SI1SHAD ... A Civic is a shit car too..

  • @SI1SHAD hey man my brother had 2 hes still has the one but his last on he put 250,000 miles on it and barley changed the oil and it never had a trany oil change it still ran when we sold it but that was one reliable car and so is the one he has now. its too bad GM dropped off saturn.

  • @SI1SHAD yea, people talk shit and don't know shit about it....Saturns are better than Honda's

  • Happen to know what it does on the track?

  • @psychoninja911 9s in the 1/8 Been over 2 years since i took so i don't have the time slip any more.

  • @psychoninja911 9s in the 1/8 Been over 2 years since i took so i don't have the time slip any more.

  • I have a Stock 95 Sl2 twin cam and I raced my buds 2002 Lancer O.Z. Rally Edition, the Lancer didnt even compete.... Gotaa love these little saturns.

  • i have a 95 sl1 does and one know if i could put a turbo on it. it is not moded in any way it i can msg me plz

  • @tynanmc5 You can but you would want to swap the head to DOHC from SOHC

  • @joshg678 hey thanks man

  • @tynanmc5 yes you can

  • i got a 1995 sl1 shell with a dode neon srt4 dohc swap

  • i have a 1996 saturn sl2 and blew the diff out of it (replaced tranny for $200). So just sayin, i hope that diff is welded cuz god its working its ass off. lol

  • @taymac1112 Yea they'll do that. Just don't spin one wheel when the other isnt.

  • i have a 95 with the 1.9 SOHC any advice if i were to do a turbo, i have been seriously debating it, i about to rebuild the top end of the engine.....

  • @Crazybuickdriver if you want to make decent power with this car, i STRONGLY recomend doin the dohc swap first.. the single cam will be a waste of time. been thinking of custom fitting a d16y8 from a civic.. dont kno if i should go through wit it..

  • @Crazybuickdriver Yeah, the SOHC is too sluggish, don't bother putting a turbo on it. On the flipside, that engine (SOHC) is fuel economic and virtually indestructible. Drove it many times not knowing there was an oil leak ;). Lasted years.

    So cheap to fix and run I really loved Saturn. Gave a direct feel/sound of the road, you'd always feel like you were driving fast. The paint jobs last and last and body never rust. Don't know why the other car manufacturers haven't learned from them.

  • Looks like a blast to drive! I'm curious how you did your fuel and timing management (if it needed any changes at only 9 PSI).

    Either way it sounds great!

  • @davida1hiwaaynet Fuel pump is stock, no issues. Got 35LB injectors

  • @joshg678 Great! used a stock-type pump on my turbo conversion, too. As you know the "magic" is with the injector size and tuning matching the engine.

  • where can i get that exhaust manifold? Or is that homemade?

  • @turbocentury88 Its custom maid. You might be able to find a used one online somewhere on a saturn forum.

  • I got a 93 SL2 5speed . odometer stopped about 8 years ago at 143,5XX , I have drivin the wheels off,then bought more and still driving it. Bought it 4yrs ago for $400 and spent less then that period sense (well $300 tag,insurance) but you figure $700 and maybe $100 in parts for a daily driver w/heat and air and all power options work. FIND THAT IN A CAR MADE TODAY. SATURN BABY! LOL!

  • What model Turbo?

  • @KingOfTheClutch T3 Garrett

  • i have a 2002 saturn sl 5 speed i want to get some more power out of it eney ideas ?

  • @CPTcluch an air intake will help. There's really no tune chip. You can find some Cam's for them that will help, but running juice or boost are your best bets. You will need a fuel management system for the car though.

  • hey how much horses does this car make ? plz answer

  • @pikku81 Approx 200+, never tested though.

  • @joshg678 and much do you think the car weighs

  • @pikku81 Just shy of 2,000 lbs

  • you got so much space in there, you could prolly fit a 2jz in there :P

  • Next vid please turn off musice while car is in motion or running, id like to hear the car more. awesome sleeper though.

  • thats probably the best looking saturn iv'e ever seen, i like the rims and ride height.

    however i must ask....why?

  • I knew a guy named "manifold mike" who moved to alabama or some shit, and he had that EXACT car, that's not his by chance is it??

  • @sswainable Not unless he moved from wisconsin.

  • sounds like an STI lol nice build and it looks sharp with those rims

  • Alright I'll give it to you man... This Saturn doesn't look that bad at all. Minus the stupid dash mounted gauges, it's a pretty decent looking sleeper. One thumb up!

  • thats phat as hell

  • that is one tough SL2....not to be fuck'd with!!

  • Nice and unique. Don't mind the haters. And good song.

  • and what is at :33?

  • stock motor? or did you rebuilt it? did you use studs on the connecting rods and cylinder head? Was that the OBX headers from ebay with t3 flange, because i noticed you have an internal wastegate.

  • @amorgan93 I can't remember where I got the headers I know try were custom. Stock rods, aftermarket pistons and rings, fresh Tchain and bearings. Currently has a 99+ head

  • well whered the manifold come from and the oil feed for the turbo?

  • @07sportinjection It was Custom made and the oil feel is on the back of the block. Also had to tap the Oil pan for the return drain.

  • my freinds got a car just like yours and wants to turbo it lolz nay suggestions and nice build man

  • i would really like to know where you got the turbo kit from??????

  • @07sportinjection no kit, all custom.

  • SATURN FTW!?

  • got a guy that has a 96 sl2 that comes into the shop all custom built turbo and exhaust.

  • Good job cool shit very unique

  • I really love those rims.

  • i just got one these cars which needed a lot of work, but i got it running. However i refuse to spend money on making this car fast because of how common it is for the differential pin to shoot out of the side of the transmission. And i don't feel like pulling the whole motor and transmission to weld it in place. did you weld your diff pin in place?

  • @amorgan93 Not right now, all you gotta do is not Spin the tires. Some times its hard in 1st and 2nd gear to not.

  • people need to be more proud to rock a saturn i got a 94 sl1 and catch crap all the time but love it

  • ive got a 96 sl2, just bought it, any suggestions on what i should do with performance?

  • @Strotkyle  Check the Oil often, get an intake for it

  • heyy man nice turbo and nice car um where did u get ur turbo? im trying to find 1 for my saturn i just cant um can u please tell me where u got urs?

  • @DIIEGGITTO There are no kits, everything is custom built.

  • how much did you put into that kit money and time wise? tomorrow im going to pick one up from a buddy for $700. Might as well have some fun with it right?? :)

  • Man nice saturn, i have a 93 auto, i wana make it turbo but also wanting to knw if i can put a 5spd in. nice car man after lookin at ur vid u made me definitely wana keep ma saturn. i been wantn ane car that had a 4spd but these 1.9l will smoke a honda after tha right setup is found. muwaahahahahaha

  • @CaSeyM2390 Where do you live?

  • @joshg678 Vermont

  • @CaSeyM2390 Car is in VA. PM me if you want.

  • Thats a clean looking saturn you got!

  • this a 4cyl. or v6?

  • @1KaoticPeace  I4

  • more videos of that beauty at 1:54

    The vw :)

  • Wow, that setup is so clean it looks factory, very nice.

  • awesome sleeper =)

    what bov are u running on this car?

    sounds awesome

    5*

  • i just picked up a 95 5 spd what are your mods cuz i like the stance of yours

  • awesome!! i love cars you dont see everyday with turbos, good work!!

  • what brand turbo is that?And you should put like a black screen over the intercooler so people dont catch on lol.nice car btw I love sleepers have you dynoed it yet

  • Currently its a Garrett T3 turbo

  • 6th planet from the sun i love smokin people with my turbo sw2

  • where did u get the rims?

  • they are excel

  • car looks great. the rims look slick on it. good job

  • sam engine as mine but without that turbo . did u have to upgrade all your pistons and shit or did u just put on the turbo?

  • Put in bigger pistons with lower compression.

  • awesome, its sounds like a subaru. for a second. mabey. I think. oh, nevermind.

  • Nice soundtrack!! You a member of saturn fans forums?

  • was this a kit or a custom install? send me some details im curious about this new phenomenon! How about tuning?

  • fuckin awesome dude saturn rules

  • HELL YEAH!!!! GOOOO SATURNS lol

  • My bad, 2 inches in back, 1 inch in front. That would set it off and give it an even stance.

  • Needs to be dropped 2 inches all the way around, anti-sway bars, strut bars, Bilstein shocks and springs, and then you'll be mobbing.

  • my friend has a satty with the flip up head lights and with the black emblems and factory true hedders me and him has completely rebuilt the internals and we are currently adding a vortech s/c and are you running any fans....cause i didnt see any unless you have a pusher elec fan..btw nice car.

  • These were only manifold cars, they never came factory with true headers. But you could have had a decent no-name set? I picked up some headers for a B18A1 swapped CRX Si I had once. Got them from the junkyard, had no name at all, not even embossed. So I threw them on, and got INSTANT low end increase by about probably 10 ft. lbs. tq. in between 3,000 and 7,000 rpm. And it loved to rev, too... lol, all the way to 9,300, haha!

  • love the blow off valve sound fucken badass

  • this is the theme song for house i wanna know what its called anyone??

  • The song is "Teardrop" by Massive Attack

  • I also have a 1992 saturn sl2. Question: what all have you done to your saturn? I have been thinking of modding mine too.

  • i also have a 1992 saturn sl2.

    question: did you do anything to the motor or is it stock, and how much for everything you did to it?

  • Man nice car i got a 99 SL2 with 276,000 Km 171,000 miles and it still beats my friends honda civic I love theses cars. Quick Q what make are your rims and what suspension company did u use?

  • house? hahaha sick.

  • how much did ur turbo cost? did u put it in urself? nice car and video btw i have a 1998 saturn sc2

  • Where did you get the turbo manifold from? is it off of a different car?

  • Wow!!! I just bought a standard SL2. I have been looking for ideas on the net for modifications. I'm glad to see a turbo does good. I can't wait to see the more mod's you put on it.

  • something difrent nice man good job

  • hah, cool sleeper. And it sounds like a WRX

  • nice house music

  • what are the wheels you have on it, because I LOVE them!

  • Wow i came across a turbo saturn in my 07 Speed 3 and it nearly kept up! Pretty sure it had more hp then my 300whp but it couldn't get traction for shit! even when he dropped it into gear at 30 he'd still peel out then nearly catch up by 60!

    400whp turbo saturns?! wtf

  • That's awesome, don't listen to people putting it down.

  • "i drive a nasa spaceship and it has 18 turbos...i will kill your pos saturn in a race! im so tough! i take steroids! my mom dresses me for school every morning! YOU SUCK! im so cool. im awesome. i love men!" LMAO at the tommy toughguy internet gangsters who bag on you...nice work man...def unique. do what you do and dont get discouraged with the haters. i got 300,000+ on my 93 sl2. doesnt even burn oil...yet...original motor n trans...its awesome...runs like new...SATURNS ROCK...

  • @bomexsaturn Only thing I don't like about these cars are the narrow stock rims and the soft suspension. hitting uneven pavement while turning throws the car out of line, even at legal speeds. I'll have to beef it up before I can rally it lol

  • my point was that pulling up next to a saturn sl2 and thinking its gonna be shitty and then out of no where it the car actually moves a little bit

  • yeah but that would help people think he is a ricer, most people would not even think about giving it a second look, if you were smart you would look at how the car sits, and of course the big intercooler on the front!! =P lol. but man a turbo'd satty are fast anybody who thinks otherwise is a moron

  • aight you said "if you were smart" imma take that as an insult. First, "FAST SATTY's" are un-comon, therefore thats why i lol'd at the whole thing. Second, Having a intercooler doesn't mean your car is "FAST" if YOU were smart you would understand that. Then last. Just how a car sits doesn't mean its fast, if YOU were smart you would know that.

    One more thing, did i ever say it wasn't fast in my other comment?? No i don't think so.

  • Stocks, manuals, are fast anyway. My friend and I have beaten a few people racing. Pretty fun.

  • is that the 1.9l twin cam?

  • yes

  • Great job on tuning your saturn.

    Hey you have cool rims. What size and brand are they?

  • Excel 17"

  • Cool. Thanks.

  • SLEEPER!!! i love it!

  • hey man.. have you put that on the dyno? looks like it could make about 230hp on a decent day.. and thats hella good

  • ha, faster than a Mustang, and probably gets better gas mileage too! I've always loved Saturns

  • It gets about the same, averaged 22mpg but got 32-35mpg on a 15 hour trip with the car.

  • lmfao.... music from the series house.... lol. i never thought i would hear it unless it was on that show

  • fuuukk i miss my satty now

  • Sweet car. Dude, how can you go over 114MPH? Because I hit 100 both times with my 1992 saturn stock SL2 and I was afriad to beat 100. I'm going to mod my car as well.

  • Stiff Front suspension helps a lot

  • Thanks a lot.

  • what song is playing?

  • Its the theme from the TV series HOUSE

  • Massive Attack - "Teardrop", aka, the theme from House

  • You should post more videos of the car.

  • This is a pretty sweet setup. Keep it clean man, no funky wings and crap. Maybe a nice sound system would top off this sleeper look

  • me no like wings. I like the car to be discrete.

  • i think he had it in fourth gear redlining at 6 when he was at 100mph... anyone else see that?
