Wow... If I saw that driving around I'd probably wreck because I was laughing so damn hard. I don't care if that thing does wheel stands, it's the dumbest looking thing I've ever seen.

He had to hack it all off to fit everything in there. I think they took off the whole metal bumper support to fit the ic.
I fucking hate it when people do that instead of taking the time to make it fit WITH the existing equipment.

I mean, I fit a 24x12x4" IC with huge endtanks in the front of my MKIII, with all of the A/C equipment, and the stock fluid coolers (and then some), even fit the fog lights, and I DIDNT HAVE TO CUT THE DAMN BUMPER SUPPORT OUT.



I mean, if people can fit aftermarket turbos, and ICs and stuff onto Z32s, and 3000GTs, then they can fit in a saturn.

Yeah, that is the last thing you want to be doing to a Saturn, especially a modified Saturn.:3d_frown:

Very Dangerous.

anyone whose driven a 4 banger knows even turboed or SCed they still drive like they have lag

That's pure ignorance...I have a friend who put just over 400hp down on the dyno in his 93 4-door Honda Accord with a stock motor.

Laggy in the sense you still need to rev 4k or higher to really feal it, the only 4 cylinders I've driven was an 05 Evo, an 06 WRX Impreza, a 2nd Gen GSX eclipse and a civic with a B18 Turbo setup, they pull hard for what they are but you still have to rev the hell out of them to get that power, turbo lag on them just feels much worse than that of a I6 or V6 turbo setup.


And even if it ran 8's I'd still say it was a HOMO car because it's a saturn, I hate saturn. If you wanna tune a domestic 4 cylinder get a pontiac solstice GXP, an SRT-4, or a Cobalt SS and swap it to a turbo setup. I just hate saturn, flame on but they suck even if they are fast they are FWD and they are Saturns.

Big difference between a Civic with a B18C and an Accord with a F22a6(or h22/h23 swap) or any other 4 cylinder motor. Take for an example, the Accord with a F22a6, sure it's not gonna have torque at lower rpms like a I6 or v8 would, but pulls like hell compared to other 4 cylinders motors. I'm sick of people with the mentality of "Go big or go home" it's just a false statement. My car weighs 2700 pounds and if it had a turbo setup geared for a modest 300hp(remember, a friend of mine had 400+hp), that's 9 pounds per hp and 136.36 hp per liter.

And oh, it's "feel" not "feal"...

It's too bad you feel that way about Saturns, they have been a good car to me and to many people. And they have only become better cars over time. To me the Pontiac Solstice is round and ugly, same reason I dislike the MKIV, but the Saturn Sky has sharp angles and bold lines, same reason I like the MKIII. They are essentially the same car(Solstice and Sky) but I like the Saturn better. Also, the new Sky redline produces 260 ft-lbs of torque at just 2500 rpm. It's kind for hard to call that laggy, if you do you're just arguing for arguments sake. The redline motor is also producing 80% of it's peak torque by 1800 RPM. Most V8's I see have a worse torque curve. I like Saturn and I am not HOMO.:nono:

LOL if I cared about online grammar and spelling I would be offended. You're right on the fact that a light car with a modest amount of power is fast, look at the miata with a Twin Turbo 13B or 20B swap or an RX7 with an LS1, LS1 mkaes 320 to the wheels if it's in good condition and came from an SS or a vette. RX7's weigh just under 3,000 I believe, not sure on exact weight. I'm just not a 4 cylinder kinda guy, for thier size they make power very efficiently (They have to). I just detest driving them, I do like rotaries although they are known for a lack of low end torque but at 1.3 liters they make 280 bhp stock, pretty impressive. Much more impressive than a 1.6 or 2.0 liter making 190 or 200 with forced induction.


BOTTOM LINE, I'll keep my Inline 6 but I do respect low displacement engines and 4 cylinders. Maybe next time I'll care enough to spell check butt IZ HIGHZLY DOUBTTTTTTS IT. LOL anyways I'm done on this post. Enjoy

Ok after this I am done, I did not say you were a HOMO, you like what ya like and thats cool, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. I'm sure you wouldn't be caught dead in a cavalier or a focus (Niether would I and for similar reasons to why I dislikes saturns products).
