Helix Power Tower

Installation Instructions

(2000-2001 PT Cruiser 2.4L Part #24035)

Important! Read all instructions before you begin installation.

1.      Remove the intake trim cover (cover with the “SOHC 16V”) from the intake manifold.

2.      Disconnect the air bellows and air cleaner lid assembly and remove them from the throttle body. Also, the crankcase hose is best removed from the valve cover for better access of hardware to come in later steps. (A illustration)

3.      Remove the throttle cables and throttle cable bracket from throttle body. Two 10mm-sized bolts secure the bracket. (B illustration)

4.      Remove the 13mm-sized bolt and grommet washer from the intake/throttle body support bracket. (C illustration)

5.      Remove the three 8mm-sized bolts from the throttle body and lay the throttle body to the side.

6.      Place throttle body on opposite side of intake/throttle support bracket and install the intake/throttle body support bracket bolt and grommet washer into the throttle body on opposite side. Tighten the bolt snug. (D illustration)

7.      Install the Helix Power Tower by sliding the plate in between the intake and throttle body. Next slide the gasket in between the Helix Power Tower and throttle body. Use the longer bolts provided to secure the throttle body to the intake. Torque throttle body bolts to 12 ft/lb. Torque the intake/throttle support bracket bolt 20 ft/lb.(E illustration).

8.      Reattach the throttle cables and throttle cable bracket to the throttle body.

9.      Reconnect the air bellows and air cleaner lid assembly from the throttle body. Make sure all the clamps and bolts are properly attached and torqued.

10. Install the intake trim cover (the cover “plugs” into intake by locating pins) in its original position.

Note: you may notice an occasional high-pitched whistle while driving. This is normal.
