Jeff S. LehmkuhlSan Bernardino, Calif.1995 Saturn SC-2 DOHCStraight out of San Bernardino, Jeff's Saturn is host to an amassment of hop-up components. A Hot Shot ceramic air intake kit with a K&N air filter, K&N crankcase vent filter and a CWC big bore throttle body handle breathing duties. Hot Shot Ceramic exhaust headers and a 2-inch Matrix exhaust system assist in the expulsion in spent gases. Nology spark plug wires and Beru Silverstone spark plugs keep the engine lit up. Stiff stuff consists of Sprint Extreme 3-inch drop springs, strut tower brace, rear wheel camber kit and a set of high-performance motor mounts. The Saturn rolls on 17-inch Enkei RS-E wheels wrapped in Yokohama rubber and stopped with the help of Power Slot slotted rotors and brake pads.
Royd AlimusaLoudoun, Va.1992 Eagle TalonRoyd's '92 Talon came along as a replacement for his '86 Ford Escort. Since then, he found Extreme Motorsports and started out with a K&N air filter, Extreme exhaust system and manual boost controller. After this, he was hooked and grabbed an Extreme ported Frankenstein level 5 turbo, as well as a Turbochargers.com front-mount intercooler with custom piping. Other Extreme merchandise includes a 3-inch cat-back exhaust, 3-inch downpipe, 3-inch race pipe and Tial wastegate. Assisting turbo spool-up is a Nitrous Gen X kit, dishing out 75-hp shots. Also in the mix is a ported head with three angle valve job and stainless-steel valves. Extreme/Ross forged pistons with an 8.5:1 compression ups the ante, while a set of Total Seal rings and ARP head studs reinforces the engine for the added boost. Other engine mods include Crower rods, Magnecor 8.5mm wires, Extreme ignition, NGK spark plugs, Extreme high-pressure fuel pump and SX adjustable fuel pressure regulator. A set of 720 cc injectors add the extra fuel necessary to keep the engine going, while an Extreme-modified fuel rail keeps it coming. The list just gets longer with an EFI PMS engine management system and upgraded mass air sensor, as well as Web Cam racing cams, Unorthodox Racing adjustable cam sprockets and crank pulley. This mean-as-hell Talon rolls on Forgeline 16x7 lightweight wheels wrapped in Nitto rubber.
