    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.

LiveWires spiral wound core prevents electronic interference. No radio noise or computer interference. They offer extremely low resistance of 300 - 350 Ohms per foot for optimum spark travel. Livewires are built right from the beginning, no add-on sleeves - just remove your old wires and replace with Livewires!

     

    Available in Blue, Black, Purple, Red and Yellow. Please specify color when ordering.

     

    "The stock PT wires measured an astounding 3240 ohms of resistance per wire. This is way too much to achieve maximum spark at the plugs. We then designed a set of our Livewires for my Cruiser with only 250 ohms of resistance per wire! That's almost 13 times less resistance than the stock wires. Acceleration is now smoother and spark delivery at the plugs is optimized. As a fellow PT Cruiser owner, I can assure you that you'll enjoy our Livewires spark plug wires"

    NGK Iridium IX Spark Plugs

    Iridium IX Spark Plugs are the most technologically advanced high performance plugs available. Featuring a 0.6 mm iridium center electrode tip, they offer superior ignitability without sacrificing durability. The tapered ground electrode increases flame kernel expansion, while the superior heat range design is ideally suited to the demands of high performance environments. Specially designed to meet the needs of serious enthusiasts, Iridium IX Spark Plugs offer outstanding acceleration, high fuel efficiency and long life. When you demand the most from your engine, rely on the proven performance of NGK Iridium IX Spark Plugs.

    NGK iridium plugs represent the ultimate evolution of spark plug technology and performance. The iridium center electrode is both stronger and harder than platinum. This allows NGK engineers to design an ultra-fine (0.6mm) center electrode reducing the voltage requirement for spark. This allows for a brighter, stronger spark from your existing ignition system. The ground electrode has a tapered cut at the firing end which reduces quenching for better flame core growth and increased ignitability. The combination of fine wire center electrode and tapered cut ground will increase performance, improve acceleration, and fuel efficiency. NGK's new Iridium IX is the personification of these qualities and takes premium performance spark plugs to a new level.

    PT Cruiser Computer Chip Module

     

    Quickly add more horsepower with this JET Performance Products module for the 2003 - 2008 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.

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

    Hot New 18 volt MINI-V.I.P.(Voltage Intensive Power) is now available for ’01-’06 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.
