As the PT Cruiser was based on the Neon platform, PVO engineers were able to take the EDV/EDT and make it work with minor non-costly changes for the SRT-4. Output is 230 hp (172 kW) SAE at 5300 rpm with 250 lb⋅ft (339 N⋅m) of torque at 2200-4400 rpm. This engine, code A855, has a cast iron partially open deck block and split crankcase.
In a piston engine, either a timing belt (also called a cambelt) or timing chain or set of timing gears is a perishable component used to synchronize the rotation of the crankshaft and the camshaft. This synchronisation ensures that the engine's valves open and close at the correct times in relation to the position of the pistons.
The PT Cruiser GT (also known as the GT Cruiser) is a high output turbocharged hot hatch variant of the PT Cruiser introduced as a 2003 model. The engine was upgraded over the standard PT. squirters (to cool underside of pistons), eutectic aluminum alloy pistons made specially by Mahle, and forged connecting rods with cracked caps.
The first version of this engine family was a normally aspirated 2.2 L (134 cu in) unit. Developed under the leadership of Chief Engineer – Engine Design and Development Willem Weertman and head of performance tuning Charles "Pete" Hagenbuch, who had worked on most of Chrysler's V-8 engines and the Chrysler Slant-6 engine, [1] it was introduced in the 1981 Dodge Aries, Dodge Omni, Plymouth ...
Another difference with the 3.5 as opposed to the 3.3 is that it has a timing belt, not a timing chain. The water pump is driven by the timing belt on the 3.5, whereas on the 3.3, the accessory belt drives it. At its debut in 1993, this engine produced 214 hp (160 kW) and 221 lb⋅ft (300 N⋅m) with an iron block and aluminium cylinder heads.
A manual transmission (MT), also known as manual gearbox, standard transmission (in Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States), or stick shift (in the United States), is a multi-speed motor vehicle transmission system where gear changes require the driver to manually select the gears by operating a gear stick and clutch (which is usually ...
The top-line R/T. called "R/T DOHC", available from 1992 through 1993, came with the same 2.2 L 16-valve DOHC engine that was used in the American-market from 1991 to 1992 R/T with a 5-speed manual transmission. More options and higher equipment levels were available in Mexico, including leather upholstery, sunroof, and 16-inch alloy wheels ...
Until that time, the only engine confirmed for use was Chrysler's 3.3 L pushrod V6 engine. [4] Chrysler's old engineering system would have required up to five years, but both the engine and manufacturing teams committed to "Job 1" to have a new 3.5 L engine as "an absolute cornerstone for the car."
