Wish I could find one that would do the work. Like I stated in the video I’ve been looking for 3 years. Not looking to ship out to one so now I’m doing it.

I have heard this, might have to try this with my spare block.

Thanks man. Just got around to building the new engine. Factory turbo for now but shooting for 900hp in the end

I'd be willing to compensate you for your time.

Hey man, I actually started getting around to building mine. Been building for everyone but mine lol. Have the series coming out soon of the build

It may very well fit, but my PT is the N/A version. I added the turbo hance adding the intercooler.

I run my own oil pressure sensor now but I don’t think my OEM one ever leaked on me.

@@thatptracecar2148 nice yeah smart move. It would of eventually leaked. It happens. There's a fault in the sensors they made. I'm glad it's still working out for you brother.

The factory ECU I only use for the can bus system door locks, windows and lights. My engine ECU is inside on the passenger side floor. But for the heat I do know what your mean my Malibu has that issue just had to replace the fuse box on her for micro fracture in the box wiring. The quad spark I believe is meant to be close to the coil pack. All in all I hardly drive the car 0 miles this year as I’m still waiting on parts, 0 miles last year and year before that maybe 1,000. I only have 3,000 total on my new block.

@@thatptracecar2148 ok then you're good but if you DID drive it regularly you would know what I mean. And I'm not saying anything that the manufacturer themselves didn't say. That car will kill any components in the engine bay. If you're not driving it then obviously there's no heat. And the car is gonna have more problems if you don't drive it regularly

I think I went over some of the changes I made to save the engine from the install of a turbo on a non turbo car in my other videos. Here I have the upgraded oil pump, pulled timing, yes compression is at 10:1 stock is 10.5:1 but with the cabers open up in the head the compression drops. I was tuned for 8psi yes it could boost spike to 10 but boost cut takes over. Engine tear down video shows no damage cause by having the turbo installed. With proper measures taken I see no reasons the motor couldn't a few pounds of boost.

Absolutely, you need upgraded springs.

@@thatptracecar2148 Thanks, I have stage 3 crowers and an 05 GT convertible 5 speed. I also have an 06 GT donor, guess I'll get that head built... right now I'm struggling to figure out what happened to my car's spark, died in the driveway. Always something. Thanks for the reply, I figured I needed more spring, but was curious is you were running these on a stock head / valve set up.

Where'd you get your transmission built?

No boost in this video.

Do you need the cranking settings for startup or the crank sensor info? I’m not sure what opti spark is, I run a driver aka quad spark with injectors in sequential mode.

@@thatptracecar2148 my bad !! quad spark box .yes the crank settings in software besides neon 32-2 also like going high / inverted etc etc thank you for sharing your journey on you tube .

@@brettclifton I take no responsibilities for this info I provide, please do research on the settings I provide as they might be custom to my car. My latest tune file I have (36-2+2) for my spark mode I run this for some reason just use the neon one though unless you know why you need to run something else, ignition input capture is (rising edge), spark output is (going high), Number of coils is (wasted spark), spark hardware in use (ms3x spark), Cam input (ms3x Cam in), flip polarity on hi-res tech/cam is (normal), Cranking dwell is (6.0m/s), cranking advanced (10 degrees), dwell type is standard (dwell), nominal Dwell (3.5) I recommend starting at 4 and doing a ton of research on this and this is depended on your coil pack. Spark duration is (0.7). Go to cranking and startup settings and make your cranking rpm to 200 and thank me later. My main fuel output is MS3x fuel, running semi-sequential, angle is (end of squirt). DIY autotune has a great right up for our cars all the basic settings you need and one by one do more research on each setting to fine tune.

I taped into the wrong coolant port so what I think was happing the turbo was getting positive coolant feed from both the intake of the out take for the coolant and believed it was boiling the coolant and evaporating. honesty I like the red as it comes off better on tear down. This was stock bottom end, the head is fully built. I have titanium valves, retainers and I forget what springs. N ot sure on the stage it is ported though and the valves are oversized, 2mm on exhaust and 1mm on intake.

I always wanted a manual valve body trans and this is really my only race car. I do have a another project being introduce to the channel soon. Save it from the junk yard

Just the factory one. Probably gonna run that for this year as well. Parts have been really hard to come by and I just want it running again.

You think buying one is worth it

​@@thatptracecar2148get a ball bearing twinscroll turbo with the twinscroll exhaust turbo manifold

You have no idea💀

The only issue I had with wiring is I lost a ground going to my blinker. Now there is almost no factory wire left so I can’t speak for it now

@@gabrielhighes3359 ahhhh shit sucks cause the interior is so much better on the 06+

@@thatptracecar2148they have replacement wires on modern performance

I have an 05 GT convertible and an 06 GT... the 06 is a nightmare compared to the 05.

Hey, still working on it. Parts have been really had to get. Waited about a year for the connecting rods. Now I’m waiting on the bed plate to me machined flats.

Terrible with those cams. These are racing cams and you will lose all power below 4k rpm. The brain crower stage 3 are a nice split between street and track and I think they advertise that as well.

Haha the factory wiring is because it’s hacked just to keep some stuff still working till I fully convert.

Never seen one. Probably have to build it

Kbd body kits

Some of the GT's are becoming collectible. Especially the 2005 and 2008 convertible with manual, those are rare.

When I was a kid I said what ever my first car was will be my racecar. That's why I never swapped out to a GT

@@thatptracecar2148 I understand where you are coming from but you're adding a turbo and an intercooler. So I understand a PT Cruiser isn't a sports car but you are turning it into one so...

It is an automatic but its a manual valve body so you have to shift it as it won't shift itself. I wouldn't recommend turboing it as there is a lot more to do than you think. I think I covered just about everything need to do it on my channel and this requires swapping the tranny to what I have or a manual.

Open the handle by the rear view mirror. Then press the open / close "soft top" button below your radio.

I have an 05 pt convertible top it's a 5 speed too.hydralic clutch

@@gradyhernandez4699 Is it the GT model or does it have a turbo?

Over the years I have showed some things about the tranny, This video covers the clutch setup but I run a manual valve body shift kit and some of my own mods. You can find a lot by googleing a413 backyard mods or valve body mods or racing.

Thanks, and the tool is from DCR called cam locks or install tool.

Srt4 adapter

Yes sir, these are originally just a 2.4L block. His will likely be increasing though because it looks like he will be getting a bigger crankshaft.

@@Andrew_Stoffel Planned on keeping the stock crank, so still a 2.4. Covid really messed the project up. A lot of company's and parts dried up, obtaining existing parts are still very difficult. As of now I just waiting for my bedplate to be machined 6 months now. I will be building the motor so that will be a video coming up!

There's a Chrysler expert in you tube goggle it

🇯🇪🇬🇧

I have not lowered it yet. Most of the work I’ve done is with the engine.

@@thatptracecar2148 ..ah OK mate ..my situation is I live on a island called jersey channel islands uk..I bought a 2009 pt cruiser limited edition in silver to be honest it's immaculate over a year ago so I've been trying to custom it..mostly the outside engine wise the useul..k&n..air intake few other bits ..I've just put a new muffler on..shit..bit loud sounds like motorbike now..Hahaha I've chromed everything pillars jet wash on bonnet mirrors ..just put a new pvc pipe on and valve...and pressure sensor stuff..its weird because this model had lots already on it ..the wheels are original but glossy black..so I've stripped them polished now looks OK I've taken off original badges put on me own....now I want to lower it but I'm not sure what's the best mix for the back and front ...anyway it's hard getting parts here..but you can get bits..but body styling..its Iver...Germany somewhere or GREAT USA..but big expensive for freight..I want side skirts..its says £130..not bad..until you look at the cost to ship..add.over £100..mental...but to be honest the pt cruiser I think is the only one here on the islands..we in the uk have vw vans surf vans T5 T4 and so on..the pt cruiser is a bit of a surf wagon over here..I've taken the back seats out I've but a fridge and icebox in-built in a floor..I'm going to hopefully have it kitted out like a mini day van..haha...anyway I like the cruiser....oh yes I got a company in the uk.to put the window size and car make in there system then it cuts the window tint exactly how you need it...limo 5% sides and back ..anyways like I said just wanted to say hi mate ..and I'm not sure what ratio to lower it....50mm .front or 35 back ..I haven't got a clue....as for your pt..my god its like the time machine inside hahaha..you have done loads on the electrical and stuff looks good sounds good....mind you mine sounds loud now..these English twats..don't like it to loud over here .....Hahaha..bollocks hahaha..take care mate 🇯🇪🇬🇧👍

Yes sir. You need a driver for it to work. Basically it takes the low outputs from the ecu and converts them into high outputs to the coil pack.

@@thatptracecar2148 that's what I thought,what driver did you use? I'm doing basically the same as you but with speeduino instead, I also don't have the luxury of nipping to a breakers yard for bits as we never got a turbo petrol model here in the uk, I've got most of the bits together now to actually do the install and the ignition was 1 of the last few things to solve as the coil on plugs from the caliber don't fit out valve covers and I didn't really want to use ls style coils as space is limited in the engine bay

@@billysworkshop. I’m using quad spark

@@thatptracecar2148 thanks for that I'll look into it, although I literally just discovered an adaptor plate for the coil on plugs from the dodge caliber to fit our engine so may go down that wrote for sequential spark instead of the stock wasted spark setup, thanks again for the reply and good luck with the build looking forward for an update video

@@billysworkshop. Hey I just wanted to let you know I’m running semi sequential spark with my stock coil pack. Because your have full control over your a and b coils which are cylinders 1 , 4 and 2 , 3 so in the tune you can just fire your a coil than b coil when needed no wasted. The only benefit of going full sequential is fine tuning each cylinder honestly a waste of time trying to tune. Also another thing to point out is if you want any sort of sequential fire you need to use your cam sensor. But for wasted spark your can just use your crank sensor. Just some insight on what I learned about my car. Thanks appreciate the support sadly I’m still waiting on parts. In the upcoming year I will begin to start making my own billet parts to drive down cost, wait time and make parts that don’t exist.

Thank you, I ended up finding that out and kinda knew that at the same time. The reason I thought it was different was the tight fit to the brake line and found that the GT model has them routed different. BTW I'm a touring model.

@@thatptracecar2148 I gathered you were non Turbo, since you were adding a turbo and modifying the engine. The PT Cruiser Lites and GT’s had the forged piston, forged rod block shared with the SRT4. I hat block can hold 450 without upgrades, more if kept safe. Better starting point but the mods are fun. You will like it at around 400, that’s where mine is on E85 and a BWS turbo. I have 3 GT’s all together. Good luck on your build, if you ever have any questions feel free to reach out.

I just looked for you. Power is the middle wire the one facing the radiator should be spark A and the one facing the fire wall should be spark B. You will want to connect to spark A. Be sure to check and make sure your tech supports 4 cylinders. Best of luck

Ok thank you will give it a try

Thanks man. Yeah I had to do it was maxing my old system out. Hopefully it problem free

It wasn’t bad. I just followed the steps for the srt4 and it worked out. Just note you will loose your clock spring so you have to manually turn your blinkers off.
