Mine had the GMPP Stage II upgrade which brought the car from 260 hp/260 lb-ft to 290 hp/340 lb-ft. The DI motor is fantastic and can make a lot of power reliably. New silicone connectors sized perfectly to make the proper connections to the turbo and intercooler, no need to modify or reuse your old ones! Save 3,181 on a Saturn Sky Red Line near you. Everything I know is of the GXP/Redline (2.0 DI turbo LNF). Installation instructions are included along necessary installation hardware. The tubes come your choice of powder coat colors, for great looks and long term durability. The advantage to this is you will not have to reuse the weak stock rubber piece that usually connects the turbo to the stock charge tube, but instead use the strong silicone adapter that is also included in our kit providing a much more secure connection for higher pressures.Īll of our tubes come with the side mounting brackets on them like stock, which helps to hold the tubes in the correct place, and prevents the movement of the tubes, which sometimes causes the tubes to hub under the hood. The Sky Red Line has a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder. So, keep that in mind.Our passenger side charge tube, is uniquely designed to go all the way from the intercooler to the turbo. The base-model 2008 Saturn Sky comes with a 2.4-liter inline-4 engine that makes 177 hp and 166 pound-feet of torque. You can’t be careful enough not to scrap it at some point.

The low chin and just about everything beneath the front nose can turn your parking lot curbs into a constant enemy. Another big one besides the airbag is the Saturn Sky's low front chin. You should also ensure the high-pressure fuel pump and camshaft solenoids aren't falling, although those are easy fixes. The airbag problem typically manifests as a broken passenger presence sensor in the passenger seat for the airbag system whereby the passenger airbag light displays 'off' along with a 'Service Airbag' message on the dash despite an adult passenger in the seat. The site registered 340 airbag issues, while the second most common problem has to do with the vehicle's service brakes and hydraulic, with a disproportionate 77 problems registered in this category. Data collected by CarProblemZoo found that out of the 23 most common problems associated with the Saturn Sky, the number one is in the vehicle's airbags category. The longitudinally-mounted 2.0-liter Ecotec LNF inline-4 sounds miserly compared to GM's other V6 and V8 units, but it was perfect for the Kappa platform.īut you already know all these about the Sky and just want to get prepared for possible unknowns, right? Your first port of call when checking out your potential Saturn Sky is… drum roll - the airbag. The turbocharged Saturn Sky Red Line, with its 260-horsepower engine and stiffer suspension tuning, is a major performance bargain Saturn says it can do zero to 60 mph in just 5.5 seconds. The turbocharged Red Line trim took the naturally breathing inline-4 a notch further and featured many upgrades mimicking the higher trim Solstice GXP. So, you can imagine how the automotive world got stunned when the company introduced the Kappa-based Sky, looking very much like a rebadged Solstice.

In fact, GM tried to sell the Saturn brand around the time the depression hit in 2008. These were popular models but never lived up to their fighter brand expectations, even after the parent company expanded Saturn’s portfolio to include the Vue compact SUV and the Aura mid-size sedan with the dawn of the new millennium. A few years down the road, the $3 billion Saturn project disgorged cheap models like the S-Series and the drab L-Series. We slide down memory lane to remember how GM responded to the Japanese imports flooding the US compact car market by launching the Saturn brand as a new GM subsidiary to take on the parasites.
