Help for my friend's Saturn, please.

Well my friend has a 95 saturn with a 1.9l 4 banger in it. I found pistons, but no rings. He doesn't know as much as me and I'm giving him some "A++ know it all engine skills" to get another engine built for him. He's going to build another engine while he drives this one to the ground. Well here are the pistons, which of the two he should get I don't know until the head comes off.

30 over by the way, I hope I can get him an answer on where to get rings on monday. And what do you guys think of Accel spark plugs and wires? Good, bad?

If its already 30 over, I'd say he has gotten his money out of it, and the rest probably wont last as long as a good rebuild. The plug wire on that wont matter much, if he doenst have a radio, just wrap some coat hangers with black tape and let it eat.

I'm helping him with the rebuild of the new engine. He will let the current engine already in it die but he needs it to get to school at the moment. The parts I'm talking about are for the newer engine and I'm going to help him get it going probably. I have some stuff planed for the new one.

It isn't 30 over, but the new engine he will probably have it bored .030 over so its a fresh surface.

If you were a real friend you would help him cart it off to the dump...............

He wants a mild build, not anything even close to wild. Basically a stock build, I think he wants to road race it and maybe take it to the track once. Its just something for now, he's not going to try to make it really go fast or gain a ton of power. Its not like its a friggen drag car, the most he's talked about is a 50 or 75 shot for the drags.

Some people's parents don't allow them to build up a nice drag car or anything. Its just his ride, not his hot rod.

I bet my CC dually would run off and hide from that thing.......with a trailer behind it lol...........it aint a hotrod, but it aint a Saturn either.................

I know it sounds stupid, but his car actually looks nice. Not like what you would think of when you hear the name Saturn, its black, and I kind of want one. Why? Keywords: 605", c6, 9", M5, W's, sv-1.

I want to put that stuff in a car that NO ONE would ever expect to be a drag car. I thought about a jeep cherokee, and I'm talking about going all out. But I know there is already one.
By the way, he hates Honda's and the one point in the build is to impress people at the track to see a Saturn + beat the Honda's.

I don't give a crap about the engine, trans, axle, suspension, interior, its all replaceable with good racing parts of my choice.

Would you like to donate a 460, c6, and 9" to the "put a BBF in my friends saturn club"? Plus the front end would have to be changed out. I can't tell if your joking or not, but this is what he has. It might not be anything cool but its like when your a kid, your parents get you a bike and you want to trick it out. Because that's all you have. He likes Fords, if I keep in touch with him I'll make sure to get him into the drags with a BBF.

Well he seemed happy. I picked out some nice hyper. KB pistons with valve reliefs for .030 over. I guess those engines have forged rods stock, I might work over his heads. But I told him about getting a 3 angle intake valve job and full radius exhaust seat.

Should be a killer engine when done. Thought about getting a turbo from the scrapyard and cleaning it up for it too.

Why??? If the motors wore out go the the Junk Yard and get another one....... Stop trying to build a race car out of a car you / he use to get to school or work....... Use the money to buy another beater if the current one is junk..... The save and buy a race car.... Fox mustang is a good start.... A stock 5.0 with some simple bolt ons and gears will make that Saturn look like it's going backwards!!! And yes the you can put a 460 in it later... Damn whipper snapper kids you need to teach them how not to totaly waste their money....

There's some confusion here. It will be a mild build, not a drag car. He might take it to the drags just for fun, he's not looking to run fast or anything. Just run for fun every now and then, the high school nationals have kids like my brothers friend who was running 18's. It just for fun, as for the engine. The one IN IT is making it by just to get him from A to B. The engine that will be built is a seperate engine all together that will be built and then swapped in. I'm not great friends with the kid, but I'm helping him out. He wants to do it, then make a drag car down the road.

I HATE RICERS! But I'm just helping him out, he's not a ricer maniac himself. But he doesn't know much and I'm being a good person and giving him good guidance so he gets it done good and cheaper.
