  • whats the name of this song? i love that song i use to hear it on nfs mw all the time...come to think of it..now i wanna play nfs mw.

  • you suck at life

  • i love that sound!

  • Nice Ion, I'm trying to find a 2.4 around here but's it's almost impossible to get one in a 5 speed.

  • It's always good to have 2 songs playing.

  • Comment removed

  • well one.. i was making a point. two, i dont see the practicality in dropping this much money into a saturn ion. sure, it goes in the snow.. and thats about all it does better than a bike. im not knocking cars at all im a big car guy myself.. but when it comes to bang for the buck i think a bike has just about every car beat.

  • @cellmate454 that's great and all, I have a bike as well (fyi this isn't my car, it was an old friend's, but I also have a turbo Saturn). The point is that anyone can go out and buy a bike and be fast. That doesn't make you a good rider, it doesn't make you any different than anyone else. Buying a bike earns no respect from me, or many other auto enthusiasts. Spending hundreds of hours researching and putting together a custom build is where true car guys shine, whether it's a Chevy or Saturn.

  • @d3ad1ysp0rk look if you or whoever is into dropping this much coin into this kind of car then so be it. however i wouldnt be so quick to judge on weather or not i do modifications and work to my own machines. also i never claimed to be a great rider.. i know i still have much to learn. what im getting at is i see the money and time i spend on my bike as having a greater payoff, in my own personal opinion. to each his own.. if a saturn is what youre into thats cool. we all have our own tastes.

  • @cellmate454 I can agree with that. By no means was this video titled "Best way to spend money on a car for speed" or anything like it. Just doing what we want with what we've got and laughing at those who get too bent out of shape in the mean time, haha

  • @d3ad1ysp0rk Wow, somebody that really understands what in the hell they are talking about. Most agreed about what you said. I am a car enthusiasts and done put most of my last couple years into trying to make my car faster. I also don't see it changing no time soon. I feel the same way you do.

  • anything thats even comparable to this my ninja would shit on. get something that goes fast.

  • @cellmate454 comparing bikes and cars is dumb. my tercel would kick your ass as soon as it starts to snow.

  • @rkjpsn no shit thats why most bike owners also own a car. id be pretty nervous against your geo metro though.. i mean pinto.. i mean tarcel.

  • @cellmate454 right. so why did you bother saying that your bike was faster than his car? his car is more practical than your bike. they dont really compare on most levels.

  • So whens this car going to be done brah?!?!?!

  • you know saturn is shit when they produce oh waiiiiiit ja thats right they are OUT OF BUSINESS. haha. shows you how much people liked it.

  • I would have went with the 2.4 and then turbo'd it. But this is an awesome build nonetheless.

  • whys ur check engine light on ha ha

  • Love the power and sound of your ion bro. Sick as hell!

  • its nice i have my evo 9 with some work but your saturn rocks

  • I bet the girls get all wet when you tell them you have a Saturn Ion.

  • @elitebomber yeah lambo aint got nothin on this saturn! :D

  • @elitebomber some people dont need a car their daddy bought them to pick up chicks.

  • fuck dude that thing pulls

  • RICER POWER!!

  • ur such a fag... its a saturn... nothing cool bout it.

  • @Magyar126

    I bet you think your cool in your Vtak yO! lol dipshit.. Or you probably drive your daddy's mustang.

  • i have the same car and i am getting all the stuff but where and or how do i have it tuned nice vid

  • So, how did u get a WRX turbo?

  • @TexasGunslinger9

    possibly junkyard if lucky or buy 1 not hard to find if you have the money.

  • Thats sick man. i wanna do a turbo on my '06 QC, and now that i've seen this it makes me wanna do it even more.

  • Is it just me or do ions have the wierdest transmissions? When run hard, first to second in mine is like ur not even holding in the clutch.

  • its a saturn, nothing special about one thier the dumbest cars to suit up

  • @Magyar126 I just recently got a used '04 Saturn Ion. My friends have all been picking on me about getting this car. I have no idea what the problem is, care to explain?

    After the explanation, would you mind comparing it in terms of computers? Such as, Saturn's are like buying Wal-Mart brand computers?

  • @Magyar126 Actually the dumbest car to suit up is a honda civic but why is it the most popular car that is modified? I blame fast and the Furious it created the stupid generation and now people think there honda modified will win screaming 98hp with a rice fart cannon.

  • Hey man good looking with the Ion do you still have it? I got a 2003 project car now. I just put a CAI on and putting on a exhaust and headers now. What did all that run you and about how long was your down time? I got about 8 grand saved up I think that should be plenty to upgrade her. Let me know what you have done since this video I havent seen any other vids related to this ride.

  • aww I wanna turbo engine..!

  • hey got a question...that shifting light, is it stock or is it accualy a shifting light?

  • Comment removed

  • @tonertime7 its stock...should be ignored.

  • yeah i found out about that light. its stock for american, not for canadian

  • hey man, i wanna ask- what plans do you have with your Subaru? what is it you want to do to it?

  • @Shirowkaji It's a saturn ion, not a subaru

  • I know what it is, he stated in one of my earlier messages to him that he ditched the ion for an '02 Subaru Impreza WRX. i was asking about that.

  • not too bad but you need to brush up on your double clutching and shifting in general

  • shifting yes, double clutching no. do some research.

  • Dude i have the same car man! So did you use the 14b turbocharger? Also what engine management did you use? I saw that you said megasquirt v2 is that what you were using for the vid?? Ive heard megasquirt is a complex system to install. But nice car in general man what turbo manifold did you use as well??

  • someone has been watching The Fast and Teh Furious too much lol

  • well if you suck at shifting, naturally double clutching would be an issue. and stupidity doesn't help with this problem.

  • @d3ad1ysp0rk *cough* too many movies *cough* double clutchign is obsolete. unless you break a synchro.

  • double clutching is for down shifting...

  • @ilive4guitarz Go watch some fast and furious some more, dumb ass. LOL.

  • @ilive4guitarz why double clutch? not really worth the extra effort, and its really completely unnecessary with newer cars. It only gives a noticeable advantage if u can do it really fast, which most people cant do

  • oh mah gawd! nooose your check engine light is on =*(

    ^o^

  • What was it that made this whole project not worth it?

    Is the L61 just that in-compliant with the upgrades that You mentioned? Or is it the Principle that a Redline or a Cobalt SS is more worth it?

  • I did the entire thing cause i was so curious about how engines worked. So I decided to go balls out and research about car performance. I learned a lot from my mistakes and now i own an 02 Subaru which i do have plans for :D. And it won't be horrible like my old ion lolol. But the LSJ motor is solid, but the LE5 the 2.4L Ecotec is one of my favorite motors since it already has forged pistons and some beefy rods and VVT-i yo

  • thats badass

  • that sounds amazing!

    I have the same car, how much did this set up cost you?

    also how did you get taht exhaust note?

    Thanks

    Great Car

  • I was a sophomore in College when i did this ( i was 19 now i'm 23) but the entire thing was done for about $1500.

    and the exhaust sound is open downpipe. It went Manifold --> Turbo --> Downpipe. And i was using an external wastegate (38mm Turbonetics Evolution Wastegate) so when that opened it would create a whole new world of noise lol

  • I vote that blakeythomp is a little bitch who needs to get off his dad's nuts and show us his little POS mini van that he delivers pizza in every night before going home to suck his momma's dick. piss of bitch, stop commenting and be a pussy and fuck off like you always do. Fuck damn shit, grows some balls and stop trying to act tough in the god damn comment box. P.s. Don't call someone a Jew unless they are being cheap. fagot ass holes like you really do have small penis' and never get laid

  • my mom drives an ion, pussy.

  • Does she share your enjoyment for wasting time on youtube instead of having a life?

  • put up your car then, btw i looked on your profile you haven't said anything nice to anyone jerk

  • good job dave man.

    u mad?

  • @blakeythomp my mom drives a supercharged C6. u gonna say thats a pussy car now?

  • That's actually impressive. I never was fond of the Ions, I always prefer the first generation SCs, SLs and SWs. It's good to see someone go somewhere with an Ion.

  • I actually had a 97 SC2 after the ION but unfortunately the rear main seal broke and it was leaking oil everywhere. I got fed up wth the vehicle and sold it.

  • who did your pcm tuning?

  • Negative. If you listen I say "i'll floor it around 3500 rpm" since i was using extra injectors.

  • nice but my '06 Zuma 49cc could still beat u

  • probably.

    It was sold a year ago and converted back to stock.

  • you should have got the redline version

  • good advice dave man

  • shit is quick

    how much was cost that you got it for, the set up

  • Since everything was pieced together slowly it ended up costing $2000 for the turbo setup.

    The engine crap ran me around $3000 - $4000

    it definitely wasn't worth it lol

  • nice turbo .

  • the Saturn ion is ugly and not so sporty . its a family car. nice turbo though.

  • All I have to say is Honda sucks, plain and simple. Saturn had the record fro front wheel drive grags for a while. Saturn and Honda are in the same class.  In fact the Saturn makes a couple of vehicles that put Honda to shame. Sky beats out S200 by far and a Aura beats out the Accord. I drive an 01' SC2 and when Honda did not even have the option of ABS or traction control Saturn did, for less. So in the end, Honda fans can eat $hit and bark at the moon.

  • i just got one, i wanted to know where you could get this system??

  • never had any prob with the engine because of that turbo and how much more HP did you get from that turbo and was it hard to install

  • is it just a stock 2.2 with a turbo on it ??

  • Correct

  • @d3ad1ysp0rk

    Did you guys mess with the map on the PCM or just bolt on and go? Im looking to do that with my 2.2L ion I need more info.

  • @IsicanA7X which year your ion is. 05+ tune it with trifecta performance

  • @d3ad1ysp0rk was there any tuning involved? or did you just bolt on and go? did the turbo set on your check engine light?

  • If he wanted top speed he wouldnt of bought a saturn...idiots i swear and who cares about top speed besides the ones that try to break world records hittin 160 or 180 isnt anything new

  • 120 mph top speed jajajaajajajaj so funny

  • You really really need to take some shifting lessons cuz you cant drive

  • at one point it sounded like he TRIED to double clutch but yea pretty shitty

  • no.

    one of the shift cables were bent (or a synchro was going bad) so going into 3rd was a bitch since it wouldn't go in sometimes.

    /care the car is gone

  • to everyone posting.

    This car was turboed from scratch, and was only done for educational purposes. I only wanted to learn about how to boost a non boosted car and bla bla bla.

    I now own a 2002 Subaru Impreza.

  • did the black spark plug get its welfare check yet?

  • lulz.

    no but it stole my bike! >:O

  • this thing is slow as hell... I kinda just noticed it might just be the driver tho. He likes spunge bob and does not even push his car... what a tool. seriously tho saturns are gay as hell.

  • I just puked a little bit in my mouth watching that. buy a Honda.... b series swap.... turbo.... save like 10g and smoke that pos... no offence.

  • because he spent 10 grand on his set up??

  • Are you retarded, 1.why the hell would you buy a civic and 2.why the hell would you upgrade it... then you end up with a farting hunk of shit thats no faster than an ion redline which i own and payed 8g for it.

  • hey i can't find a turbo for my ion 2 where abouts are u locating them or do u just manufacture everything from your garage/shop

  • thats really not that special i'm not trying to be a dick or anything but i honestly think that my 97 sunfire could take your car supercharged or not its not hard you just have to know how to shift a manual car thats it.

  • lol 0-60 in 4 secs (diesel) that means u can compete with vipers wow!!!!!!! lol i like ions and i luv how when ppl chat on these whoever has the car (ion) in this case like it like :) and then there are the we will call em "jerks" who h8 all ions and say they are gay

  • i love this car , send it to me thanks. lol i got a 93 sw2 beater, its in my vids if you care to waste your time

  • i just got a saturn ion and i dont kknow if i should drop a turbo in it or work on my 1996 eclipse gsx..................

  • this is nice.

    exactly what i have i wanna do this to mine.

    how much will it run me you think?

  • depends on your hp goals

  • very nice ride

  • This saturn is soo badass. i have an ion and this is exactly what i plan to do to it. nice ride

  • Not impressed. I drive an 04' turbo diesel Passat. 0-60 in about 4 seconds.. goes all the way to 160.. However, never been higher than 120.

  • LOL. Diesel passat 0-60 in 4 seconds? Wow, try again.

    Second, you don't need to be impressed, no one cares what you say. :)

  • You can't buy a new Passat for what a new Ion costs.

  • Kph maybe, lol....

  • haha insane how much hp?

  • He made 198whp on this setup iirc.

  • my bros got a saturn and when ur in it it feels like ur going prety fast and combined with wrx turbo that thing is prob flying so u ppl that say its slow shut up and if this was custom u ppl need to try it b4 u talk and ride in the car dumbasses and side mounted intercoler guy is retarded

  • For all the haters I'd like to point out this car gets like 28mpg on the streets

  • SIDE MOUNT INTERCOOLER??? does that mean mounted off to one side??? away from the flow of air??? that defeats the entire purpose of having an intercooler you douchebag. How stupid is that seriously????

  • Ask Mitsubishi you fu(king idiot. :)

    I'm glad you know enough to call him a douchebag when you don't even know about side mounts. *Sigh* E-Thugs.

  • Its all fun and games until you blow your motor.

  • Then it's more fun...

  • ahhh...the good old days...lol...

    fag

  • The acceleration is pretty sweet. How did u find a kit for the 2.2 wit the wrx turbo. Or did u do it urself

  • for all those ppl hating on saturn i just wanna know wat ur thoughts r on chevy.. cuz last time i checked saturn and chevy r both owned by gm and the cars r almost the same. the cobalt and the ion r the same fucking car.... so quit hating

  • nicee how much HP do u have??? and how much was ur turbo system?

  • hmm nice. how long did it least since you installed the turbo till the engine started to loose compression (if it did) i can see you r putting bigger pistons. or is just because you want a higher compression?? sorry for my crappy english

  • im not a hick im a damn nigga bitch. yo car is slow as shit. fuckin get a mans car you pussy ass bitch

  • Still faster than stock. Enough internet e-thugging, go work on your car retard.

  • u rice burner fags getin a mans vehicle my sister drives a saturn if u wana go fast and say wat u drive is badass get a cummins

  • Lol okay hick boy.

  • your an idiot.

    Ricers are only associated with imports.

    Toyota, Honda, Acura, Mitsibushi, etc..

    Saturn is GM, thus AMERICAN!!!

    GM makes muscle cars, so don't use ricers with GM again.

  • That thing is wicked fast!

  • dude that is freakin crazy. Is this all custom?! I have some respect for this shit and I dont like front wheel drive.. I have a Stealth R/T twin turbo AWD

  • Yeah, at the time he made the kit there weren't any bolt on kits available. Plus, custom is cheaper and more educational. ;)

  • lol at the check engine light. Got mods?

  • what exhaust was he running?

  • Open downpipe

  • wrx doesnt make a turbo charger, STi does. get a brain

  • Seriously? El oh effing el. Dude, SUBARU DOESN'T MAKE A TURBOCHARGER AT ALL! Companies like Garrett do, and Subaru puts them on their WRX and WRX STi. The STi one is larger than the normal WRX one.

    GET A BRAIN! LOL

  • ooo no supercharged v6 stang!! u must b superfast

  • is this after he blew it up ?and he miss shifts like a women and if u think i am talking shit i have a supercharged v6 stang :)

  • lmao wrx turbo-tiny coulda put a sti one lil bigger but not too big for ur saturn

  • dude he was just testing it and didnt want to put too much stress on his system

  • ALRIGHT ENGINE REPLACEMENT TIME!

  • dude, really, if i wanted to watch 80mph i'd ride along with grandma, lol. no but really, that thing can do more than 80, show it for what it is, a performance car! i mean i do 115 in my SL2 i know that thing could do much better

  • you suck, get it going faster than 80...you're fucking boring

  • blah blah blah. "This user doesn't have any videos at this time!"

    If you can't prove your shit is any better, gtfo. Kthxbye.

  • Wow, damn, I so wish I had an Ion, was it the Red Line model when you got it?

  • Nope, it was the Ion 2.2L (naturally aspirated). He turbo'd it himself.

  • Ah, difference is, the Red Line is supercharged which is not bad, but turbos are better anyways. I have a 2000 SC2, pretty much the sister car of the Ion.

  • Not really. The S series shares one thing with the Ion; Plastic.

  • "saturns suck i no sum 1 wh ohas 1 and everything that cud be broken on it is and its only 4 years old. i mean litteraly i think its the barriers or sumnthng like that thats never supposesd to be ruined. and the cars only 4 years old. SATURN SUCKS"

    ITS NOT SATURN YOU FUCK ITS THE DRIVER! I DONT GIVE A SHIT WHAT YOU SAY!!

  • He hasn't run it yet. If/when he does, we'll likely get a video of that up here too.

  • Alright thanks for the info man.

  • I got an 07 ion 4 door with the 2.2. Did you just build the kit yourself or what? Any input would be helpful thanks bro.

  • Not my car, but yeah, he had someone make him a custom manifold/downpipe, bought the turbo, intercooler piping, intercooler, wastegate, blow off valve, fuel tuning / injectors, gauges, etc, online.

  • saturns suck i no sum 1 wh ohas 1 and everything that cud be broken on it is and its only 4 years old. i mean litteraly i think its the barriers or sumnthng like that thats never supposesd to be ruined. and the cars only 4 years old. SATURN SUCKS

  • Engrish much?

    Anyways, I know a guy with a corvette that had the engine blow. They must suck even more.

    Chances are your "friend" is as retarded as you, and it's operator error. :)

  • go spongebob go

  • ha saturns suck

  • You're a 20 year old who does hand puppets. What do you drive, a Prius? :)

  • i,sir, do not do hand puppets...lol

    i might go work on the wagon now...

  • Elvies car is fucking slow....

    and Justin likes men

    <3 STC-NE

  • Yup, this is Elvis' car and it was posted there the same time it was posted here. Didn't put it in the videos section though (I don't like it.. :P).

  • Dude u need to get better at shifting before you get those upgrades lmao. Nice though when that turbo kicks in.

  • dude i see your "check engine" light is on. that sucks. my ion did that too.

  • damn dude.....shift much?

    i think not

  • also music from need 4 speed most wantted:)

  • he thats funny u have the some radio my bro has in his ion its blue :) i 4 got what its called tho but i remember it its a nice 1 and nice car:)

  • go spounge bob

  • what is the name of that song

  • "Hand of Blood" by Bullet For My Valentine.

  • Im in a tossup between this or a tC... Is a ion easier to mod than a scion tC?

  • i'm the guy who made this turbo pos, and well if you dont' want to have to make your own parts for everything then get the tC, much easier when you have aftermarket support with the tC. But I wanted to learn about cars so i made this thing.

  • How quick is a Redline? Run pretty good?

  • Meh. They're alright. High 14s.

  • Could be better. Good enough though. I just want something that has a little extra power when I want to play around and also does good on gas.

  • An SRT-4 is probably what you're looking for then. ;)

    As much as I'd like to see more people driving Saturns, the redline isn't fast, isn't great on gas, and isn't that good of a car at all.

    If you've got any automotive knowlege, a turbocharged low displacement car is the best solution for what you're looking for though.

  • If I had the money, I'd get a MMazda 3- Speed. Fun to drive. Ill check out the SRT-4's though. What about a civic?
