It is possible to fit the HP modified piece through a late one, but it’s difficult and feels like the boot could tear if you are particularly ham fisted. Just an FYI!

Will decide when we add the super charger, I heard Dinan bars won’t clear all. Wish I knew about this!

Damn that looks so friggin sweet man love how the engine is looking! Was wondering if we were going to see any updates.
Are you keeping the intake runners exposed or you coming up with a housing/filter for them?

I have RAM filters but haven’t put them back on. It’s soon to be supercharged so going to be a mute point 😁

Decided to apply the stage I burbles. Not sure what to think and wtf does II and III sound like!

People - you owe it to yourselves to listen to this clip with headphones. My first reaction to hearing your car before seeing it was "that can't be his car".

The induction noise is soooooo good.
Prefer it to the exhaust overrun noise.

Six Pot · 08-31-2023, 09:22 PM

And now for the final phase. I love this car N/A. With the E85 tune its just punchy. So we will eek what is left in it. Dinan TBs, ********** CF Plenum, Turner Intake, and other bits to round it out.

I finally found a replacement shock as well. All this because the EDC wire was damaged 😑. Why did I keep EDC…

Now round 2. S85 or N54 8HP AWD?

Six Pot · 09-04-2023, 01:53 PM

Had take most of it apart for final bits. Adding a Euro camera and now contemplating stock center console or staying with 3 series.

Six Pot · 09-20-2023, 09:12 AM

Waiting for the new plenum but test fitting till then. Couple more changes and I think I can call this done…. For now

Six Pot · 09-22-2023, 09:19 PM

Cut cut cut. Hoping to knock out revised AN lines and HPA + Dinan strut bars (again). Replaced Plenum boots with NRWs… Plenum should be here soon.

Six Pot · 10-21-2023, 03:53 PM

Adding final touches as I wrap up on the first one. Just needs Plenum.

IND custom painting is legit!

Six Pot · 11-05-2023, 06:41 PM

Had to give in and buy a real box , tried to match VO 😂

Six Pot · 11-11-2023, 07:33 AM

Paint finally done and it’s heading my way!

WrathOTM · 11-11-2023, 10:41 AM

Damn, that's nice!

Six Pot · 11-29-2023, 10:56 AM

Now to remove everything to shoehorn it in!

changster · 12-02-2023, 10:00 PM

What an epic build!!! Congratulation on the beautiful ride.

Six Pot · 01-11-2024, 07:41 AM

Small tweaks as we wait for the injectors but so close to finally getting the plenum on.

Six Pot · 02-11-2024, 03:26 PM

Somewhat pointless upgrade why not! The fuel filter will be a nice safety due to running full e85.

Yeineken · 03-06-2024, 10:00 AM

Beautiful build so far!

Six Pot · 04-06-2024, 06:37 PM

Finally together 100%. Small things to work out in the interior.

WrathOTM · 04-07-2024, 11:06 AM

Very nice! Was slightly worried that this build was stopped. Looks so nice under the hood.
So....what's under the hood of the PT cruiser?

ShocknAwe · 04-07-2024, 07:23 PM

Looking forward to what you do with the interior.

Doing my seats soon. Revamped most of the leather with napa redline goods stuff. Need to figure out what I'm doing with dash covers/cluster covers and the arm rest...

Been eyeing AMX/Recaro Max for seats.
