This thread is for performance wise parts. There are a lot of exterior mods you can do to the PT but im not listing them. What parts fit my PT Turbo from the Neon SRT-4 Exhaust: SRT-4 3in downpipe (welding an extension needed) SRT-4 3in O2 housing SRT-4 3in downpipe with E-cutout (welding an extension needed) SRT-4 3in Side exit Exhaust The PT does have its own downpipe with cutout http://www.needswings.com/NeedsWings-PT-Cruiser-Turbo-3-Cutout-Downpipe-ptdpv5.aspx Engine: If you’re a 2003 you came with 527cc purple injectors, 2004 and up have 577cc injectors, Mopar S2/S3 682cc injectors and RC injectors will fit also SRT-4 lower hardpipe (not upper) SRT-4 BOP Mopar/AGP/Forge BOV SRT-4 WGA (AGP, Kinetic, Mopar S2) Check valve DSP (if you have an ATX you will need a S1 PCM also) SRT-4 180 and 160deg T-Stat Spark plugs (suggested NGK 4306) spark plug wires SRT-4 Coil pack heat shield SRT-4 Msd and granatelli coilpacks SRT-4 BT dress up caps SRT-4 internal parts (belts, rods, pistons, tensioner, pumps, gaskets, ect) SRT-4 big turbo kits SRT-4 Solid motor mounts (except tranny) (inserts are cheaper$$) Aeroforce Interceptor Scan Guage All can be found at: http://www.modernperformance.com/ Light weight Battery kit http://jmbperformance.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=21_124_37&products_id=30 DCR oil modifier http://www.dcrsrt.com/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=23 Suspension: Mopar 26mm Sway bar (cheapest) Any aftermarket SRT-4 front swaybar SRT-4 Energy suspension sway bar bushing and end links Tokico front struts and Koni front inserts Any aftermarket front SRT-4 coil spring Any aftermarket front SRT-4 coilover Incase of replacement: Stock front struts Stock front control arms Stock spindles stock wheel bearnings stock hubs Stock F/R calipers stock front sway bar Stock motor mounts Brakes: SRT-4 F/R rotors (Drilled/Slotted) SRT-4 F/R brake pads SRT-4 BBK Can be found at: http://www.modernperformance.com/ SRT-4 Front Steel braded brake lines (you’ll have to find front only or buy a set and sell the rear) Seats: The viper seats will fit in the PT but you will sit high it is suggested you trim about 1-2 inches off the bottom of the seat. What else can I get for my PT Throttle bodies are different from the SRT-4 and wont fit Stage 1 PCM Air Intake and catback exhausts http://www.raceandstreet.net/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=P Airbox to turbo pipe (intake) and Airbox mod (best mod) http://www.needswings.com/AMX---NeedsWings-Air-Intake-Pipe-Kit-amxPTintake.aspx APC Non-turbo strut bar (requires modification to the solenoid bracket to fit) http://www.raceandstreet.net/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=67204&Category_Code=S Turbo version strut bar http://www.raceandstreet.net/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=67205&Category_Code=S Rear swaybar http://www.suspensionconnection.com/cgi-bin/suscon/7657D6.html upper hardpipe (if you want a bov mounted on it I would suggest buying the bov and having a local exhaust or performance shop weld on the flange) http://www.needswings.com/AMX---NeedsWings-Upper-Intercooler-Pipe-Kit-amxPTupperpipe.aspx another place for upper hard upipe with bov options as well as turbo to airbox pipes for cheaper http://pt.dejonpowerhouse.com/ AGP use to make an Intercooler for the PT but stopped years ago. no one currently makes an IC for us. if you want one it will have to be custom made. If you want to pick up where I left off and make a custom IC that no one has. Buy an 18x12x3 - 2.5 in/out IC http://www.cxracing.com/mm5/merchan...CXR&Product_Code=IC0003-25&Category_Code=INCO You will need two 90 deg bend 2.5" Aluminum pipe and two 90 deg 2.5" couplers http://www.siliconeintakes.com/prod...d=698&osCsid=a85cef098da08c021c9f067fb21456e1 You will need to remove the stock crash bar and will need to trim the metal below the holes next to the IC so you can fit the 2.5" pipe on both sides. I know I left a couple things out but will update when I can think of them.
Wow that's amazing! lol, So many goodies. Question, you said the 682cc injectors would work, are those the same as the state 2 mopar injectors, if not... would they work!? Also, my PT's a manual, and the two throttle bodies I bought (SRT4), would not work, so i still have 'em and just bored the stock one over. Thanks for all the info!
yeah the TBs wont fit their made a lil differently. yes the 682s are the mopar stage 2s. up at our altitude (5600 ft) there a little too much the stage 1 already on your 05 are plenty for the stock turbo.
1.Okay, I have a new set of SRT-4 struts sitting on Tein springs. I know the rears won't work. But could I take the Tein springs off of the rear SRT struts, and would they fit on the PT? Or is that a completely different coil spring? 2. Whats is the different between a PT GT front strut as opposed to a SRT-4 front strut if any? 3. Would like to lower it and use my existing SRT struts and Tein springs, but not sure if I can combo that with the rear. (To save $$$ of course) 4. Also, I see you mention a lot about a horrible boost leak stock. Is this the "factory boost leak" that the SRT-4 Neons had with the line going to the intake and people plug it and get rid of that line? It might be a boost leak but I am sure the PCM knows about it and it is shooting for air into the intake which might help with spool.
1. Weather or not the spring will work by itself...I have no idea. Honestly I'd recommend finding a PT Cruiser site, I know there are plenty around, and try finding the answer to that question there. 2. Again, don't know for certain...I don't think there is a difference in the front struts. Then again, the PT Cruisers are heavier, so maybe there is. Again I'd try to find a dedicated PT Cruiser website, because I'm sure you can find the answer to that as well.
There is no difference on the front strut/spring its the same one. i listed it incase anyone is looking for a replacement. The rear spring is completely different. You will need to buy a PT lowering spring set. Unless you can find a rear only set on ebay. That factory boost leak on the intake pipe is there you can pull the vac line comming off the turbo and blow into it and you'll fee no resistance as you hear it comming out the intake pipe. You can remove the line and insert a plug on that weird looking 4 way vac bar thingy. 1>2-Tees>1 Thats the only one off the top of my head for leaks. its been years since ive been under the hood of one. When i had mine the first thing i did was leak test then rerouted all my lines like my neon still is today(nothing is PCM controlled). I dont even remember what the stock line routing looks like. Bleeding air back into the intake while under pressure doesnt help increase spool but keeping you from building boost. Think of it this way. If your neon is sealed up take it for a drive and get on it then go back and unplug your red line off your up pipe then go for another drive. its the same size hole so you'll have the same effect. A boost leak is a boost leak these motors are happy when they have no leaks.
Why is there a factory boost leak. I am sure they didn't spend time and money to put a factory boost leak there. It must have some sort of meaning. Factory boost leak / venturi line - SRT Forums - SRT4, SRT6, SRT8, SRT10 & Dodge Forum Can't find much more on it. Supposedly deleted in 06 up PT's...
I'm not trying to sound rude, but asking why there are boost leaks is like asking why a park bench is wet when we need to sit down. Nothing comes perfect from the factory and also normal wear and tear of use. Every turbo car eventurally shows leaks. The point is to keep on top of them and treat it like a normal tune up. The PT due to its even more compact size then the neon holds in more heat and rubber and plastic tear and crack. Also if you hadnt noticed theres alot more longer hoses than in the Neon. Since there are increaced lengths and multiple joined sections they leak.
