NOOB ALERT!

[Wesance]

Hey everyone my name is chance, it’s great to be here and I’m glad I found this forum!

Well, to start things off I found torquecars while researching twin charging information for my project car. Some of you may give me a bit of grief for what my project car is (it’s ok I’m used to it ), but I’m currently building a 2000 Saturn Sl2 5 speed manual! It was originally an sl1 (single overhead cam) before I bought a second gen DOHC (better flow than 3rd gen and blots right up to the block) and installed it.

While I was at it I found that in the DOHC saturn’s people often do a dual intake cam mod, basically just take another intake cam from a donor head and Install where the exhaust cam was.

Basically they have a little bit more lift for better flow. I also advanced the timing 2 teeth on the exhaust side for some better scavenging and a little bit better performance.

I was thoroughly surprised at how much peppier it was after the modifications! I went ahead and had the trans built with a MFactory lsd and a clutchmasters 6 puc sprung clutch in preparation for the turbo engine I will be soon swapping into it.

One of the main reasons I initially joined this forum was to see if I could get some help or ideas on twin charging my Saturn instead of just running a single turbo.

Reason being is so I can have my low end boost as well instead of waiting for the turbo to spool. I have seen guys that have supercharged saturns, and I have seen guys that have turboed them, but I have yet to see anyone attempt a twin charged set up.

Basically I am trying to figure out what all I would have to do to get it to work correctly, and any info helps! Thanks!

Hello and a very warm, welcome to TorqueCars from me the admin!

So sorry for my very slow reply, I've been looking after my mum who is very poorly at the moment - family always comes first.

I'm sure you'll fit in just fine and look forward to Talking Cars with you.

I like the sound of this project, and don't worry about people giving you a hard time, thats the sort of thing you get on single make and model forums, we love diversity and respect ALL car projects.

Which engine does your Saturn have?

Are you thinking twin turbo or supercharger? Swapping out the aircon for a supercharger is a fairly simple swap as the pulleys are all there, and you free up some space taking out the aircon pump.
