Performance Questions
 

Looking into getting a 2000 SC2 for a starter project car, have the 5-spd manual and the 1.9L 4 cyl, and performance upgrades for it? I've looked and I can only find clutch kits, and cold air intakes, or the companies no longer exist lol, and how far would a port and polish on the head go? Not sure I'm new to this, thank ya.

The 124hp under the hood is more or less what you're gonna get unless you want to buy a turbo kit. Retail or off of someone who turboed their car back in the 90s.

Just about now aftermarket performance support back in the day and obviously even less today.

Change oil at 3,000 MI and keep the level topped off if it is already burning. Since it is new to you, check the oil level every 200 miles until you get an idea of how much oil it goes through.

No matter how much you polish a turd, it's still a turd.

If you want something to mod, don't get a Saturn

I gotta agree with derf 100% on that statement. Maybe find something in the Red Line family?

Red lines are awesome when the ECM is not pulling boost because one reading or another from the sensors is not right.

Parts for them are very rare to find because everyone else has already scavenged them.

There are companies that you can buy a custom tuned ECM based on your vehicle's operating characteristics. However, this becomes even more temperamental because if something is not right according to the ECM, it will kill boost or not boost at all.

Maybe a sky. I don't know what all the turbo version comes with so I don't know how much room there is to upgrade
