The ultimate radiator cap

Safer for you, safer for your engine

No matter what you drive, it's nice to know how hot you are

When you know the coolant temperature, you can avoid getting burned. for example, if ThermoCap's meter indicates 235�, then it's better to leave the radiator cap in place. This is a great way to conserve your skin. Run cool water over the radiator, and leave the engine running. If ThermoCap's meter indicates 155�, you could probably remove the cap to check the coolant level with reasonable safety.

Safer for your engine

Water is normally used to transfer heat from the engine to the radiator, where air, passing through the radiator, can take the heat away. The hottest parts of a running engine are the cylinder heads and upper cylinders (at around 500� f). Water has a high heat capacity, and is ideal when used as a coolant. However, if the water boils (converts from a liquid state to a gas state), the water's ability to cool the engine is greatly diminished. The goal of keeping the engine cool, involves preventing the water from boiling. We do this with extra pressure.

This will work and fit on the Turbo and Non Turbo models. This new item is really a show stopper and attention getter. Will not fit Import autos.

Poweraid PT Cruiser Throttle Body Spacer

The PowerAid Throttle Body Spacer bolts in front of the throttle body and causes a "vortex" effect to the air intake charge. This causes the air/fuel mixture to atomize more completely, which creates a more efficient combustion. Adds up to 5 horsepower & 5 ft/lbs of torque, and can increase gas mileage

The PowerAid TBS concept was developed to enhance mid-range power, torque and fuel efficiency. The unique dyno-proven "Helix Bore" of the PowerAid TBS causes a spinning action of the incoming air-charge as it passes through the throttle body. This extremely beneficial air-charge carries all the way into the combustion chamber, producing a super-atomized mixture, which produces tremendous gains in mid-range power and overall efficiency. This is the key element to the horsepower success behind each PowerAid TBS.
Does not fit turbo models.

Price: $94.99

PowerAid Throttle Body, 01-10

PT Cruiser Helix Power Tower Intake

Products for your PT Cruiser that can provide up to 20 more horsepower and improved torque. By simply bolting on a one-inch spacer beneath the throttle body, you will improve drivability, gain confidence from more responsive performance, and increase fuel economy. The Helix Power Tower is designed and tested to provide a better low-end torque gain to better off-idle performance. The threaded bore takes the standard incoming air entering the engine and swirls the air. This swirl action enables the incoming air to navigate and past obstacles in the intake port to better fill the cylinder. The more air entering the cylinder mixed with fuel will better the power output.

Machined from heat-treated, aircraft quality, solid aluminum, the Helix Power Tower is strong. There are NO moving parts to wear out, which means this will last a long time. Vehicle warranty should not be affected by installing a Helix Power Tower. It has been tested by the California Air Research Board and assigned an EO #D516-2.

Complete installation instructions and all the necessary hardware for a complete installation is included with the Helix Power Tower. In approximately one hour, you will have a stronger performing vehicle for a very little cost.

MINI-V.I.P.- (Voltage Intensive Power)

Hot New 18 volt MINI-V.I.P.(Voltage Intensive Power) is now available for ’01-’10 PT Cruisers.   The Mini-V.I.P. steps up the charging system’s 14 volts to 18 volts which is sent specifically to your ignition system in order to provide your PT Cruiser with the ultimate spark combustion. In a series of 0-60 mph test runs, we reduced our ET an average of .21 seconds, and on our best run, we reduced our 0-60 ET .27 seconds! The test was conducted on a ’05 Turbo PT.

The 18 volt Mini-V.I.P. is truly a revolutionary product that leads to “Chargition.” “Chargition” is what Performance Distributors defines as the science that bridges the gap between your charging system and your ignition system. It emphasizes how a maximum performing charging system leads to a maximum performing ignition system.

The 18 volts which the Mini-V.I.P. produces, enables you to open up your plug gaps to a whopping .070”, burning your fuel more completely on each piston stroke. This in turn, leads to superior throttle response. Voltage drop, which occurs when you have your accessories running, is eliminated as the Mini-V.I.P. isolates the 18 volts to your ignition system only! In the long run, your plugs will run cleaner. Some applications will also be able to run a richer fuel mixture due to the additional spark intensity. The unit is an easy 3-wire install. True to its name, the MINI-V.I.P. only weighs 1 lb.! To insure maximum results, as we did in our tests, we suggest running our Screamin’ Demon Coil and Live Wire Plug Wires with the 18 volt Mini-V.I.P.

PT Cruiser Computer Chip Module

Quickly add more horsepower with this JET Performance Products module for the 2003 - 2010 PT Cruiser. These inline performance tuning devices can provide increases of up to 19 horsepower. This includes the the 1.6L ( 10-13 more hp), the 2.0L (12-14 more hp), the 2.4L DOHC Non-Turbo (12-15 more hp), the 2.4L DOHC Turbo (13-18 more hp) and the 2.4L DOHC Turbo H.O (14-19 more hp). The performance module modifies ignition advance, air/fuel ratio, and other parameters to performance tune the vehicle throughout the entire powerband. The JET performance module will improve throttle response, increase torque and improve horsepower. These modules can easily be installed in less than 30 minutes.

Stage 1 performance modules for stock vehicles using any grade of fuel.

Stage 2 performance modules for vehicles with at least an exhaust and intake upgrades and using 91 or better octane.

Will JET Performance tuning void my warranty?
No. Federal law prohibits a dealer from voiding your warranty just because you are using aftermarket speed equipment, with only two exceptions: the warranty can be voided if the aftermarket part causes damage or adversely affects the emissions or the emissions system.

Are JET Performance Chips emissions legal?
Yes. All JET Performance Chips and most Performance Modules are 50 state emissions legal. They do not change the emissions at all from the stock tuning chip for any Federal or local emissions test. C.A.R.B. (California Air Resources Board) has issued Executive Order numbers D-234 through D-234-6 covering all JET Performance Power Chips, making JET Performance chips the most complete line of high-performance chips that can legally be sold, installed, and driven in the state of California. Because of C.A.R.B.'s very rigid rules concerning exhaust emissions, the Environmental Protection Agency ( E.P.A. ) accepts C.A.R.B. approval as evidence that an aftermarket part is clean and suitable for use in all other states.

What's the difference between Stage 1 and Stage 2 Power Tuning?
Stage 1 Tuning is designed for the stock engine with very little modification. It requires the use of 89 or higher octane fuel for best results. The Stage 1 tuning will work in conjunction with other modifications to increase performance (intake upgrades, exhaust upgrades, etc.)

Stage 2 Tuning is designed for the performance enthusiast. Premium fuel is required in order to extract the maximum benefit from the new tuning. Other modifications including less restrictive exhaust, modified aid intake, and 180 degree thermostat are recommended when using the Stage 2 to enjoy the full benefits of this more aggressive tuning. Although a new thermostat is recommended its not necessary, unless you live in a warm climate area.

Will Power Tuning hurt my engine in any way?
No. Best power is always made when air/fuel ratio and the spark tuning has been optimized for maximum power, meaning maximum "push" on the piston during each power stroke. Damage occurs if the air/fuel mixture is too lean, meaning that there is not enough fuel for the amount of air in the cylinder. This results in excess super heated air, which can cause burning of valves and pistons and will also induce detonation (which can break pistons, etc.) Relative to spark timing, too much "advance" will cause detonation, which reduces power and can also damage parts exactly as a lean mixture does. When you finish installing JET Performance on your vehicle, your engine will run at maximum efficiency yet safely distanced from possible damage due to leanness or excessive spark advance.

How will JET Performance Power Tuning affect my gas mileage?
JET Performance Power Tuning does not alter your vehicles calibrations in any way that would hurt fuel economy. Fuel economy will remain virtually the same or may even improve (depending upon specific driving patterns) unless the vehicle is driven in a spirited manner (lead foot). For trucks that tow, JET Performance's Power Tuning is generally closer to the better fuel economy than the stock tuning. So in addition to power gains, a vehicle that tows with JET Performance installed will often exhibit better mileage than one with stock tuning.

Does JET Performance remove the speed and rev limiters?
It depends on the specific vehicle. On most chips, we eliminate the top speed limiter. The rev limiter is raised when possible and is completely dependent on the application.
