[anti-rice 01sl2]

You have a very impressive car, but reading what you type out hurts my head.

my bad man i read to quick i tough you were comenting about my typing skills which i am suck at it.. never mind

[ZombieSatty]

lol, stick to building the car.

I think it is great that you have found the breaking point for the trans. I know the limit has been discussed, but to destroy 3rd in the middle of the pull is pretty definitive.

He was. Don't mind Nate though, he's just an asshole. <3 Hahahaha.


On your build though, I'm genuinely shocked that you are on stock cams. Fucking crazy. Also, I can't recall. Has this thing seen the Dyno yet?

[Brandon94sc2]

What do you have going on in the suspension if you wouldnt mind?

Id say with a real nice ported head, some turbo cams, and maybe a tubular turbo manifold youd be into the mid 10's if the thing could keep traction.

[psw71]

I was just curious of what kind or RPMs you are turning in that beast?

[jnturbosc2]

Note: this transmission had 32 passes over 100mph allready and the gears had 120k I think thats pretty good. just 3rd gear syncro worn out.Everything ulse looks perfect on it.

[jnturbosc2]

 I have it set when take off shift light comes on at 7,500 out the line and then 8,500rpm down the track.

Yeah your problably right but it really get everybody attention when i can do what i am doing with what i got in this car. My body has 9
second honda he spent 4 times more than me, he still gets surprise with the 1/4 track times i am doing with this  car specially with what he called cheap log turbo manifold, stock cams, running 110 racing gas,etc.....

[psw71]

If you dont mind me asking where did you get ur titanium valve springs?

[jnturbosc2]

Honestly this car never been in a DYNO so if you guys have an idea how much horsepower I am pushing with this beast I am all open to your comments, my DYNO used to be open desert outside of phoenix, we have found an open road about a 1 mile road when ends straight there is a nice hill I go up that hill in 4th gear over 130mph, I really dont recomend this to anybody  I almost lost control many times underboost. testing like this is dangerous because especially if something goes wrong UFF! OOPS! ETC....But there is no cops, no houses so is cool place to do it. I get to know the car pretty good too.

[jnturbosc2]

If you dont mind me asking where did you get ur titanium valve springs?

I called Ferrea racing components, they all ready have kit dual valve springs and the titanium caps i think it was like $700.00 plus. Never have any problems going over 7,500rpm.

[siris]

google a hp calculator, input the vehicle weight and trap speed, it will give you an approximate hp.

[sl2ner]

thanks man. you just got me back into the saturns in the market for another one now

really? that much? i believe saturn motorsports used to sell that stuff a lot cheaper than that! maybe that didnt include springs. but hell, cant check now. last i looked they werent selling parts anymore

[AC66Bronco]

Very nice work man and it's obvious you have spent some time and learning from mistakes to get there, but with that time it looks like it's paid off. I totally understand if you don't want to tell people everything you did on the car, that is totally your prerogative, don't worry about some of these guys, they are harmless lol.

totally agree. i myself dont let everyone know what all is done to the ride. its nice to have some things for yourself....

now granted there are the select few that know everything or are smart enough to figure it out on their own..

So what about that suspension?

[jnturbosc2]

OH! almost forgot about that, i got stock strut with some lower spring kit from a saturn  wrecked I found in a car lot belive it or not, now! i did some brackets, desing bushings and other parts like rods etc..,added bump stoppers to stiff the rear as much as i could, also design some metal small tubes underbody to make the car little more solid, I had a lot of issues trying all this stuff, like I said before I made mistakes in finding something that worked, finally got the best I think until i decide to spent a lot of money in fancy drag racing style struts for the rear only, i am not to worry about the front other than replacing with new struts all the weight is in the front.  the car feels good down the track does not shake or vibrate or nothing but i know the rear still need some work.

Your car JUST ROCKS !  ! ! !

[Jmmcool93]

i ran a 12.45 in the 1/4 at 113.  17 psi +, saw 22 a few times stock block, but i blew a head gasket at 11,000 miles. Copper headgasket as well. good job man my new goal is to catch up to you.!

hey good job in your car, well nothing is impossible and looking forward to see more saturn in the 11s, your are close to 11s there still somework ahead but i know you can get there if i did you can too.good luck!

If you estimate the car wieghs in at about 1900lbs, with those time you are in the 300hp range (at the flywheel).

It may not seem like alot of power, but the car is stripped to the bone.

If you increase the weight of the car to around 2500 (about the stock wieght with passenger ) then you need about 100 more hp to get those numbers.

We can make these cars produce the HP need to get 9/10 second passes, but we need traction and a stronger clutch to get it there.


I will pass on the 3rd gear breaking...I have seen them break like what was described on a stock car...it may have had a weak spot...IDK.
