Being different in the car community is no easy task - unless you have no choice. Paul decided to take his Saturn SL2 and fully modify it to it's absolute limit! This Big Turbocharged Saturn SL2 uses parts such as a Subaru WRX airlift kit, an ebay turbo, underglow, and the ultimate 90's styling. So is the car actually worth the time and effort? Let's go for a drive and find out.

You didn't link his channel bro
Dude don’t promote Dave plzzzzzzzzzzz it’s a financial trap for those who are broke it’s just adding more debt to ppl who are already behind $100 now to pay for gas per say = $200 out of pocket for someone next week it’s a borrowing snowball effect for debt help subscribers buy merch not debt.
Plz plz plz this app promotes its self as help but do the math you either need to make enough to pay off your debt in a week and still eat but if you can do that you most likely wouldn’t need Dave in the first place. Or you don’t make enough the next week or pay period to be comfortable & pay it back plus some , then your in the same situation digging yourself in a deeper whole. The goal is to progress not loose money. You will always owe more than you borrowed plz plz plz be smarter @ThatDudeInBlue subscribers
This app is predatory. You literally borrow from your next check so you’re -$200 off the jump.
Looks wise that car is dope.
Man this brings be back to 2008. This sl2 would go by the drive in every Friday when the car shows would be happening. It had nitrous and a turbo and he would lay smoke down the block EVERY week. As a 16 year old, I loved that car.
Very cool personal story. You mean the exact same car thats in this video?
@@thomasjefferson6334 not literally I don't think
@@cameronpadovese1494 i suppose not
Shit fr fr that took me way back seeing these whips
Man I remember when I saw guys working on Saturn's and I thought.... well maybe I can do that to mine.
This guy is me about 20 years ago. I had a modded 1993 Saturn SC and a modded 2001 SL2. They turned heads everywhere I went, probably because no one knew what they were. There was literally zero aftermarket support so I had to one-off everything. Good times, good times.
I remember seeing a teal colored twin cam sc around town about 15 years ago. Had all sorts of stickers on it and you could hear it purging when he shifted. Only one i've seen built up where I'm at, then again I dont go to Bandimere or anything.
Those were the golden ages of car shows because you could actually see something different. Now, most people build the same things the same way.
I had a 93 sc2 with the SPS stage 3 head package
Only thing I remember associated with Saturn enthusiasts was Outer ring racing or something like that.
@@smrsocmoneyracing2552 real talk that's why I only rock cars people don't rock or mod I currently got a 2016 Toyota yaris hatchback I did little things here and there to it its boring having the sane Subbies and Hondas on the road hahaha live turning heads being a troll
I feel like I was teleported back to the mid 90’s when I was part of the import scene. I love the camera shots of the car. Good job to the owner of the car.
Paul is a great dude. One of the pioneers in the modded SL2 community.
Thank you for the kind words!
so were you on Gratiot with this car years back like I'm talking right after you cut the roof off I remember this car I swear I do on Gratiot I didn't think it was the same color though maybe it was I don't know but I just remember this car from being on Gratiot
@@Waterfordmaxx if this is the gentleman that does on the car I would like to know if that white Saturn you have is for sale I had a red one that I fell in love with but I put $300 and 7,000 miles on it as my daily as I went through 20 other cars that one I just kept because the gas mileage was great and it ran great and I love to find another two door 5-speed car that car I bought it in Alabama with 100,000 miles and put 300 on it basically when it was done so 300 plus thousand miles before I sold it to a friend
I like the "90's fitment." The tires sit on the bead properly with straight sidewalls, and with rolled fenders and flushed up fitment, it doesn't look tucked or stock. Fuctional and aggressive. Perfection.
Also, it's hilarious how he made a landaulet out of a Saturn.
Saturns were all made out of resin you can't roll the fenders all you can do is heat them and hope they don't crack
Functional my ass.
Nice job David. After reading some of the comments what I have learned is that no matter what we drive we all share the same passion when it comes to the love for our cars. 👍🏻👍🏻
Great kid, great car.... takes after his dad! Thanks for sharing.
So True ..Pete's comment

@@colbytaylor9805 civic is best platform. Change my mind
@@janstory3612 Best for what? They are like a dog with worms on gravel.
I have 15 grand in my SL2 engine. Just sitting. It was the car that taught me everything. Has JE & crower internals. T3/t4 ,log manifold. Sds injection. All old school tech. Made 194 on the dyno @ 11psi
Love it! Love the obscure builds
Better than the the mainstream iconic builds imo. It is much more exciting to see someone fully modify a car no one would think of touching.
SATURN GANG RISE UP
I miss my ion redline
06 irl and 93 sw2 here, I know where the green monster is if you know you know
I kinda miss my gutted SL1 now...
I don't miss not having ac, a radio, rear seats, a spare tire, or a dashboard though.😐
I miss my dads old sc2 2 door. The thing was so light weight i swear its frame was made of mr noodle
Slammed ‘96 SC2!!!!
Mad respect to the style and effort. Things dope for a Saturn. Unique build
Who knew, right?
Spent my entire career as a Saturn dealer tech. I found qksl2 on the internet way back in the day and it inspired me to build one. My daily was a 92 sl2. I built the engine with forged internals, slapped a similar turbo on it with some big injectors. It's still running strong. 320wheel at 17psi. Some videos over on the channel. Cool car Paul!
This build is better than any stance build from the past decade.
Love it.
This is what tuning culture is all about. Love seeing unique builds like this.
That's exactly what it's about personal expression
How ironic, there's an SL2 engine in our build room now! We used to sleeve a bunch of those back in the day when they first became popular. In fact, Lisa Kubo was the first to break into the 7s around 2004. Gary Kubo initially came to us for sleeving, which opened the door for other platforms as the years passed.
Not too long ago a raced a super charged one in my 2v mustang gt, and man was that a good race. He ended up getting me his in the top end, and all I heard was supercharger whine. It was amazing watching that saturn go, such a sleeper.
I've always liked the look of Saturns. I did consider buying one when I was looking for my last vehicle, but the ones around here being sold by dealers or absolutely beaten to crap. They really were an innovative and different company. Every single time I see one it looks like a flying saucer from outer space. I love it.
Super pron to frame rust
They were meant to be disposable cars and were treated as such, just like the cavalier and the cobalt
It's not hard to keep them running even in poor shape, parts were cheap when I had mine last year so it's probably just a matter of going on rockauto and to yards to get them sorted. They'll never be "perfect" you gotta go down south for nice ones.
him
having this since 05 at 25 miles is my inspiration. got a 9th gen si i got at 45 im trying to hold on to for the rest of my life
Saturns don't die, people kill them..
This is quirky and strange, and I love it. Its the first car I have seen in a long time thats really a 1 off build that many have never seen before. Epic build and I would love to see his white coupe here on TDIB also. Show us Betty White also please.
I had a slow SL SOHC that got great gas mileage and still ran great at 232,xxx. I don't know the mileage after that since the odometer stopped working lol.
These cars were not heavy so you can have a quick car just by slapping in a turbo and decent tuning ...DOHC models of course.
Ahhh, the memories! I had a boosted 95 Saturn back in 09, I used the 4g64 manifold. 15psi was a fun car. These cars were extremely light they 2314 from factory! Fun Fact: You could use the ECU from an automatic to rev to 8k. Just make sure you have a forged bottom end.
If you do have a bottom end package, will the heads hold?
What ecu tune use ¿
Mine never did. And I o-ringed the head, ran copper head faster, had arp head studs, a ported 1997 head, crowder rods, je pistons, and ran 4 additional fuel injectors. But I was running stoopid amounts of boost from a t3/t4. I dynoed one time on 14lbs of boost (medium setting) and made 386 whp and 447wtq.
@@BlaQBetty2018 holy f**k do you have any videos of your car?
A girl in my high school had one. It was bulletproof at 165k miles. I always liked the huge gauges and that big ass tach lol. I wish Saturn was able to continue with the same potential they showed in the first gens
I wouldn't call this a ricer, this is a nice representation of someone's vision. I love the personality of it. One of my favorite touches is the valve cover.
its the definition of ricer. Slow ass car. tonnes of cosmetics + neons. LOLLOLOLOL garbageeeeeeeeeeeee
@@SR-yt2bc "I don't like it so it's rice"
@@trverally7929 never said I didn't Like it. Just stating facts. Who the f##k uses neons these days? U stuck in the 70s bro? Every type of cosmetic ever made is on this car 🤣 pile of junk. Stay mad bro. Garuntee you own an NA altezza/subaru legacy and you think it's the fastest thing on earth 🥰🤣
And I got laughed at for my 03 Elantra gt build back in the day. Love the car. Keep up the good work!
I had a 99 sl2 and did some work to it. Definitely had a big system,rims,neons,magnaflow exhaust,and intake. Loved that car so much. This Saturn is so beautiful and well put together
Loving the return to the long intros David, personal favourite part of any of your videos
Its awesome that you are in my home town and I watching with a big smile while you talk about woodward ave. Wish you would come out during the dream cruise one year.
I had a 1996 SW wagon with over 300,000 miles on it for a while that I bought off my trade school instructor for $200. It had no rockers left, thumb tacks holding up the headliner, and holes rusted all the way through the floor. I chopped off the muffler shortly after buying it and replaced the stock resonator with an 18" glass pack. That thing was LOUD. Every Sunday I would drive by my local church and bang first gear off the rev limiter for half a mile until it started overheating. I ended up getting rid of it since I lacked the storage space and sold it to the junk man for $400. I have a 370Z now and love it to death, but that old POS wagon was extremely fun to drive in its own special way.
Maybe you should've gone to church instead ;)
I too have a 98 Saturn SL2 with 325K. Have had it since 100K and has been the best car ever. I have been wanting to do something special to it for years. This has inspired me to finally get off my butt and treat her to the respect it deserves. Great build!
I was so excited to watch this after watching the other one. I love Saturn's and almost bought a boosted one myself back in the day. They are stupidly reliable and get killer fuel mileage. Truly and under appreciated little car(sc1-2 sl1-2 and sw1-2. I'd love to bag a wagon 🤤
No joke drill out the Cat and these babies can get crazy mileage, fill the tires to max psi and let those babies roll, I get 44 mpg sometimes in the winter with the cold air, SOHC but they are torquey fun motors and the cars weight next to nothing. I have a wagon
@@coupelikeacaravan bro I want a wagon so bad! They are hard to find around here. Yeah they make good power and are bullet proof. I beat the hell out of mine when I had it. I used to work at a body shop they got them totaled and rebuilt/sold them is what got me into them. They really were under appreciated cars for the time. As good or better than a Honda imo
I had a 2001 LS2 and I wanted to grab a motor from the supercharged cobalt SS to make a fun sleeper but I had to get rid of it when my first born was born. Miss that car to this day. My son is 9
This is awesome! Gives so many ideas for my Saturn sl1
This was one of the first manual cars I ever drove and we used to beat the shit out of it! We were high schoolers doing what high school kids do with cars and it just kept on going it was a surprisingly great durable car
When I was in high school back in 05 the local street races you would see nothing but Saturn SC2s, SL1s, Honda Civics, Accords, Camry's, Carrolas, Neons and such and a few FCs, FDs, Some old 90 Supras, Z32s. But it was always the Saturns and Civics duking it out. Though a lot of Saturns ended up with cracked blocks.
Bro! I literally body dropped/bagged one back in the day for a friend! It was the first car I cut the floor out of so it was completely different than the trucks I usually worked on. The entire system was completely one off because a kit didn't exist but it was just as fun as cutting up truck and laying it out! Sick vid and it took way back in the good ol days!
As a fellow Saturn owner, I appreciate this. I own an Ion Redline.
He built the car I had in my head 18 yrs ago, congrats
I literally just cut up an Ion Redline clone (no supercharger, but had all the bodykit parts) for Auto extrication the other day... the amount of plastic is insane. We were able to basically break off every panel and get access as needed. Very neat to see
i know its a saturn, but i loveeeeeeee it, even more than a lot of newer "builds" mopars, kias, civics ect where 95% of mods are stickers, leds, and shit 3m taped, fake parts like caliper covers , deleted every thing and people not working on their cars, plus it takes me back
I was part of the electromotive forum for stand alone ecus back in the early 2000s. The moderator had a turbo saturn and had blocked the term "Saturd" on the forums 🤣
Love the shots out In greatlakes parking lot! Home town vibes👊
Ha! I had a Saturn SL2 2001. As much as a beater it was it last 200k miles and burned oil like no other. Had no AC or Heat. Ran on water no coolant. Lived in it for over a year in the 08' recession, camped out in it during Bonnaroo 09'and drove it to Arizona and back to Massachusetts than to Florida where it finally died in 2015.
Oh heck yea. Thank you for the update on this car. Just keeps getting better!
So much dedication. 👍💪
SL2 was the first car I bought myself, I drove it until the dmv told me I couldn't anymore (knock sensor). Great to see them getting some love.
this tings been on the scene and youtube b4 but still cool to see it again
I absolutely loved my 04 ion redline stock....it was so much fun to drive...
Saturn was the Japanese influenced American built future. This was the GM response to the Chrysler/Plymouth partnership with the Mitsubishi and putting American badges like eagle on talon/eclipse. Ford did similar things with the Mazda partnership. That’s why the ford probe turbo exists.
One of my first cars was a Saturn. Always love to see a unique build and a familiar place represented in a video. #PureMichigan
michigan is a cesspool
I'm putting a turbo on mine too 10 PSI.. An 95 SL2 and E85, and a forged bottom end, 10 to 1, and the head is getting sent to R.A.C.E. in Davie Florida, port and polish, mild deshrouding , mild bowl blending, dual intake cams, etc, a highly reputable machine shop. And my friend is going to make a cat back exhaust for it out of titanium... Lol
The original video was always one of my favorite on here! So happy to see it again and the progress it’s had. Only thing that I was surprised he let go was the 1 of 1 carbon fiber wing on the back. Thing looked great on there!
It just came off this year... I still own it and always will but I was ready for a more "adult" look... and that thing made a ton of noise rattling back and forth on the trunk
Holy shit that blow off sounds nuts! Way to go my friend, that's a pretty Saturn.👊✌️
this is one of the cars that got me into cars, because my neighbor had one and every time he would work on it i would be there watching and thinking it was the coolest car in the world
Had a green 95 SC2 with ported and polished heads, different gear ratios , one of a kind ground fx kit, and would break off Hondas and Integras with any bolt on mods at the Compton street races for lunch and gas money. Great times
Dude in highschool had one takes the memories way back
Back in 2008 my 1st car was a 1993 Saturn Sl2 5 speed It was a very fast car I remember beating V8 camaros and mustains! .. No one ever expected that car to be so fast even reving it up would turn heads
I had a 99 SL2 with 2 12" Kenwoods with a 3000w amp, overkill was an understatement.
Till the wheels fall off 🛠
I had a Saturn sc1 and loved that car. It was quick with a few mods for what it was. I miss Saturn
My first car was a Saturn. Never even thought of doing something like this back then lol. Good job man
My mom got my grandma's champagne sl2 when I was in high school and I took my license test in it! We had that till the first motor blew up at 260,000 miles. Then put in a junk yard motor in and she drive it another 120,000 miles until it rusted out and the trans went out!
my first car was a 92 SL2, basically went the same route just not as extreme. bullet proof car and will never be forgotten
I miss my riced out sc1 wish I never totaled it. After it was a complete loss I raced it in a figure 8 race and it still lived until I took it to the crusher.
Was the best car I’ve ever had for a 200,000+ oil burner car just would not die.
This is hot in every way. Never thought I’d see this, but I’m happy it is.
I AM SO GLAD THIS SATURN IS STILL GOING.
I don't know where this guy was 20 years ago? Ian SG (gold 1st gen turbo SL2) was doing work before he was at FSR Motorsports (he was a founder) last I heard he was with Cobb, his video of him roll racing is on here somewhere, there was also the turbo Saturn website, Different Racing (12 second turbo SL2), SPS, and Street Design auto (Mike Flatt with a 12 second Vortec supercharged SC2), Sixthsphere, Planetboy in Colorado had the cleanest and most tasteful black turbo SC2, Someone had a white SC2 with a Eaton blower off an L67 3800, ect ect, the community was pretty big. There were all kinds of parts including forged pistons, rods, ported heads, AEM/Injen intakes, ACT and Fidanza made goodies, Thermal R&D made exhausts, we all tuned with an Apexi Super AFC II, or Megasquirt, to a lot of us commenters this is our "20's". I had a gold 97 SL2 with a 11:1 N/A motor stuffed with SDA parts that ran 14's (a good number for 2004). Didn't look like anything special, ran OEM sawtooth 15"s that weighed all of 10lbs, the whole car was 2250lbs. This is a long lost cult.
I worked with STR performance to create a lot of first parts for the SC2 in 1995. Coil overs. Head an block work. A lot electronics. A lot. Built transmission an short shifter. Sounds primitive now but nothing was made for them. Carbon fiber fenders an hood. Still got my pics an still have love for the ol Saturn.
I had a SL2 25 years ago and it was the only car I had to modify. It was the dohc with the automatic that had the "perf" button(if you know you know lol). I don't know what magic was in that motor and trans but the car was actually fast and would chirp the tires from 1st to 2nd.
I think it would be considered a Tuner. He knew EXACTLY what he was doing & got impressive Results!!! It's a TUNER
I see this car at every meet I go to and it’s so sick to see it on this channel! Gotta love the Michigan car scene
Had two 99 SL2'S in my life, both 5 speed. The most fun car to drive. Had a full exhaust, intake, lightweight flywheel, ebay coilovers and 17 inch wheels. It was like a go kart. I would bang gears all day and it just wanted more. You just had to check your oil level everyday 😂
Love Saturns. I had a 2000 sl1 for my first car.
This is pretty awesome. Tons of character!
This is my favorite video of yours now, I've always had a soft spot for the SC2. They're super light and fun to take on a track day with minor suspension mods, decent tires, and a can do attitude!
Gorgeous car actually. Never noticed how nice the lines of these are in all these years. Well done.
Well that was different!! I worked for Saturn for 3 or 4 years in 3 different dealerships in Jersey - what a fun little car- they convinced me to get a 93 SC2 in Plum and admittedly fell in love. I wish I could remember all the mods we did- Iceman intake with K&N, home made mandrel bent exhaust (God was THAT pricey just a little gain), and then the guys at ICY racing (Inner City Youth?) who helped with Ignition changes, and a "sort of" reprogram on the PCM--- good times
Reminds me of my buddies saturn. He did a junk yard build of parts from different engines that all some how came together and was about a 14 sec N/A build (not super fast) but would kill it at the street races in the early 2000s
A build for a man with unpopular opinions. I dig it.
You managed to find the only person who lives in Detroit, amazing!
this video caught my eye mainly because i owned an SL2, was my first car
If you're ever in Missouri I'll show you my RHD Saturn Truck and in the process of a K24a2 Sc2
After owning Camaros chargers and motorcycles I still miss my SL2 the most.
I had 1995 and 2001 SL2s years ago, they were great little cars. Pretty quick, too, all things considered. Both of mine were 5-speeds, and they were honestly pretty fun little cars.
Why did one look at this make me want a saturn
That's awesome! I had a bunch of Saturn's growing up. My favorite was my 2001 SC2 that I built and turboed. My favortie car ever!
My wife had a '97 SL2 when I met her and I'm very familiar with them in stock form. I don't love them, but I really like the look of these 2 cars. Very nice!
I watched the first ever review on his car on RUclips 8 years ago crazy Paul still has it and it's gone this far
Hot dam the best saturn ever thts a devil in detail
Very clean build bro
I had a Saturn SL1 it was a 99 I think and the single overhead cam engine was way more reliable than the SL2 dual overhead cam hopefully this thing is built well.
10:11 that C2 Stingray convertible on the left though, there's a couple other classics too, seems like car guy heaven to me
I personally love the sl2, ive always liked saturns. I had a 1st gen 4 door in Pearl white, it was dope until you hit a corner in snow, they light in the back lol
Two years ago I had a 1995 SC2 as my daily, my grandpa bought it brand new, only had 120,000kms. Unfortunately it was totalled before I was able to modify it, I miss that car lots. This was fun to watch.
This thing screams need for speed underground. I love it
This is a very tastefully modified Saturn. Wasn't expecting that at all
Seen the car alot I live in Waterford it's definitely one of a kind
Rice or nice that car is dope af.
Respect the build.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
That's a DOPE lil' saturn..brings back memories.
That's crazy I have the exact same sc2 but unfortunately it's broken in my garage collecting dust I really wanna get it running again
I turbod a sl2 in 2003. Wasn't really fast but it was fun
Late 90s early 2000s vibes are so strong and I love it.
There's something even I forget sometimes, there aren't rules for modifying your car, if there aren't parts, you can literally make something work. My girlfriend and buddy had one of these in high school, now I totally want to find one for my gf's daughter.
Saturn is just a very underrated manufacturer. nobody gave them the recognition they deserved when they were new, but the sudden love and appreciation for them is amazing
Back in the day my dad bought my mom a ion and she bought him a ion redline. He had it for 50,000kms before his retirement, he traded it in for a first Gen Fr-s. Only got to drive it once to pick them up from the airport and it scared the absolute shit out of me.
Sudden? Lol the only people who love and appreciate these are the people who grew up with them.
