2ND GEN INTAKE MANIFOLD CONVERSION for the PT GT!

[@MrLancealot]

Welcome to the 2nd gen gang💪

[@Roobsrandomz]

your injectors are pink because they are stage 0.. o.O you should replace them with a set of stage 1, (black and blue oem MOPAR) injectors, with your ecu, they should be plug in and play and will need a battery reset to calibrate. Since your ecu is technically stage 1.

LET’S GO!!!! Appreciate the shout out!!!! That came out really well! Btw, the oil in the intake is a common issue, usually a new PCV valve and a catch can will really clean that all up!

[@jimmycruiserr]

Hell yeah brother! Appreciate you making this video possible already! I love the way the paint job came out! Yeahh I notice it has gotten better since I replaced the PCV, but I really need to get a catch can on that thing again asap! Soon to come 👀

[@roguesrt]

@@jimmycruiserr No problem. More than happy I could help. Hey, could you check your insta messages. There’s something I would like to discuss with you.

Great job! Loved your video!

Looks great 👍👌great job 👍👏.

Oh Yeahh! Make me happy happy

More boost = happy happy happy

[@lawsonclark2466]

it appears that the lower intake manifold is plastic instead of aluminum . Correct? Can the second gen intake be used with the aluminum intake?

[@o.soblanco747]

Sounds good 👍👌.

[@giltax7642]

Hey jimmy. Can I get more info on the stage one. Can't seem to find any info about it. Thanks

[@jdw5889]

What was the paint stripper?

[@o.soblanco747]

What size are your rims on your pt cruiser I am looking to put some rims on my 2004 pt cruiser.

[@roguesrt]

17”.

[@davidayers2864]

My 04 has 17 s I just spent 627 bucks for a set of ns Matt black wheels for mine

[@fatcatdan65]

I have a 2003 pt touring edition I want to make it into a gt what will I need to do besides a turbo

[@handyandysmobilemechanic397]

Hey, man! Awesome video. I’m in the process of doing this swap right now. Did you have any issues with the engine oil dipstick tube lining back up on the plastic manifold? It looks like the mounting tab is in a different location compared to the aluminum manifold.

[@clashingwithodyssey1577]

Damn ig good thing i got the 06 pt gt

[@josephmartino9858]

Nice job

[@davidayers2864]

I love it I just wonder will that work for an 04 gt mine is the same motor with a 5 speed manual

[@daddy0772]

I have the composite manifold on my modded 03 PT GT. No problems. The forums report better flow with this ugly plastic one. Go figure. Wish I could use the front mounted SRT4 Neon intake.

[@spumaticcarz]

Awesome I would like to try a new manifold 💪🏽

[@Justin-0991]

Wheres your timing belt cover? Intake looks sick though bro. Kind of makes me want to paint the intake and valve cover on the woodie edition PT I have. lol.

[@phillipthethird42]

He gotcha on the fuel line. That was funny. But I have a couple of tech questions, 1rst, are you running with the cam cover off? And, how are YOU defeating the rev limiter ? Foot note; those yellow dotted lines in the road pass by at a rate of two per second at 60mph. You're passing them at a rate of 4 per second. ( you do the math) 'Cause believe me , others are doing the math too. Be wise and be safe.

[@1marcelfilms]

Now it needs NOS BOOST !

[@djpotsmoke6245]

Bro we’re is your clutch ? How are u shifting wit no clutch pedal ? Ur left foot is resting the whole time wtf

[@djpotsmoke6245]

Comment back

[@djpotsmoke6245]

This is my 3rd comment I’ve left I kno u see em bro 😎 please correct a nigga if he wrong but where the clutch?

[@djpotsmoke6245]

Is this a stick shift ? Cuz I’m confused af 😂😂😂🤦🏽‍♂️😬

[@buffalobluecheese]

PT GT's and other limited Dodge/Chrysler models of this generation had what's called an Autostick transmission. You can Google for specifications, the name is rather self-explanitory....

[@JoshTosh92]

Been waiting for this one. I have the plastic one on my 2005, debating to put the aluminum version on I also have sitting here. Can’t decide lol.

[@JoshTosh92]

Alright, it’s decided, I’m keeping the plastic manifold on. Thank you for helping me make up my mind! 🙏🏼

[@jimmycruiserr]

No problem man! Glad the video could help, it was a really good upgrade Imo.. although if it wasn't for my aluminum one being in such poor shape I probably would have never got around to it lol!

[@roughboygarage1475]

Use the aluminum intake. All around a better quality intake. There is no noticeable flow difference between the two from factory. The aluminium one can be ported to increase flow and also drilled and tapped for nitrous. A simple gasket matching to lower intake and behind throttle body(the biggest bottle neck in the system) will shorten spool up time and drastically increase flow and expansion into the ports from the plenum. The aluminum also has much greater sealing surface for higher boost levels.

[@kerryperry7638]

@@roughboygarage1475 plastic has been tested to flow better stock for stock, much smoother runners , disapate heat much faster, I will agree on the aluminum being able to port, but it all reality, swaping to a factory srt4 neon manifold would be the biggest upgrade, much shorter cold side pipe run, just my 2 cents and knowledge over the years

[@roughboygarage1475]

@@kerryperry7638 I'd like to see those tests. I looked for the ones I seen 3 years ago for a couple of hours last night but I'm not sure which forum it was on. (Cruiser links i think). The blanket statement of switching to a neon is somewhat misleading. It really depends on the application. The short runners would slightly increase the upper rpm horsepower at a sacrifice to the lower rpm torque. Where as with either the plastic or aluminum PT intake the longer runners produce more low end torque but dont really take away that much hp up top(if any) on a stock long block engine. PTs are not what I'd call lightweight. Low rpm torque along with a few low cost mods and parts to get the turbo spooling up faster and at a lower rpm is what really gets the car moving. Especially with an automatic trans. Porting the intake around the throttle body, porting the crap out of the exhaust manifold at the down pipe elbow outlet and around the waste gate flap, switching to hard pipe charge piping(the factory rubber likes to swell up at higher boost levels) ,along with an ADP waste gate actuator and stage 1 or tuned PCM, can really get those TDO4s spooling up to full boost at a lot lower rpm than most realize. The TD04 can put out up to 30+psi(although I have yet to get one to survive at 30psi).(I really like to find someone to build a billet wheeled ball bearing version).

[@daddy0772]

What NGK plugs are you using? Modern Performance gives 3 temperature choices for the Iridium IXs.

[@Tizogf]

Did u notice any butt dyno difference and u gotta get stage 1 injectors 911 u are almost defeating the purpose of all the good mods u have 😩

[@jimjagusiak3593]

Port injection = non direct injection lol
