2006 through 2010 PT Cruiser Gains 7 Horserpower with K&N Air Intake System
- Oct 19, 2006
Chrysler PT Cruisers are powered by a 2.4-liter, twin-cam four-cylinder engine.
In base, Touring and Limited versions, the engine is tuned to deliver 150
horsepower. Updated in 2006, the PT Cruisers have new front and rear sheet
metal, a new front grille, new headlamps and fog lamps and a body color spoiler.
K&N Engineering, Inc. has made a 63 Series AirCharger Intake Kit (57-1550) for the 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser 2.4 liter non turbo.
K&N test have shown a horsepower gain of 7.17 at 5004 RPM with the 57-1550 Air Intake. "We were able to get such good horsepower because the original factory airbox is restrictive," said K&N Performance Kit Technical Development Supervisor Kirk Swanson. "We designed the heat shield around the existing parts in the engine compartment for a nice tight fit."
K&N's 57-1550 rotationally molded polyethylene Intake system uses a conical shaped High-Flow Carbon Top Air Filter (RP-4660) that fits into the stock location. "The heat shield isolates the filter element from the engine heat," said Swanson. "It helps keep a cooler air charge going into the engine. We used a carbon top on the filter to add to the appeal of the PT Cruiser. It's a very straight forward installation."
It takes less than an hour to install this kit with simple hand tools. The lifetime K&N Air Filter performs for up to 100,000 miles before service is required depending on driving conditions.
