JE Piston/Ring & Eagle Rod Package, 03-05 Neon SRT-4 / 01-10 PT Cruiser

Modern Performance is pleased to offer a savings package that includes your choice of JE Pistons and Eagle Rods. This package will not only save you a bit of money, but will also save you the trouble of having to purchase components from a number of different places. One kit from Modern Performance is all you need!

This package is great for those of you wanting to rebuild the bottom end of your engine, but not wanting to purchase an complete rebuild kit. This way you can get the forged internals, but build your motor with whatever components you'd like.

Available Compression Ratios

• 8.0:1 (Stock Neon SRT-4 Compression)
• 8.5:1 (0.5 Higher for Faster Turbo Spool Up)
• 10.5:1 (High Compression for Non-Turbo 2.4L Applications. May also be used for turbo applications specifically tuned for E85.)
• 12.5:1 (High Compression for Non-Turbo 2.4L Applications)

JE Pistons are available in standard bore or 0.020 overbore. Wrist pins and locks are included.

Piston Specs:

• Dome / Dish Requires No Deburring or Preparation
• 2618 T6 High Tensile Forged Aluminum
• Specifically engineered for extreme applications, including professional competition.
• Dome / Dish feature smooth flowing radii for excellent flame travel.
• 0.866 x 2.250 straight wall carbon steel wrist pin provided.
• Pin fitting and spiro locks included

Eagle Connecting rod specs:

• Made from a TWO-PIECE FORGING
• X-rayed, sonic-tested & magna-fluxed as part of Quality testing.
• The manufacturing process of these forgings is designed in such a way that it ensures a superior fatigue life by forcing the grain into the shape of a Connecting Rod.

To strengthen the Connecting Rod, the rod cap is forged separately to enable the grain to run perpendicular to the load forces.
Eagle "ESP" Connecting Rods use 4340 steel to allow maximum flexibility in using different materials to achieve optimum results.
These Connecting Rods also contain a high content of nickel & chrome to achieve greater strength and fatigue life.

These rods come with the new ARP 1.5 2000 series bolts which use a hefty 3/8 bolt with a 7/16 head. These are much stronger than previous generations of ARP bolts used with Eagle rods. Eagle rates these rods at a holding capacity of 600hp and onwards!

Please note: the 8.0 compression pistons look identical to the factory Neon SRT-4 pistons with the big ski ramp design. The 8.5:1, 10.5:1, 12.5:1 compression have a dished design like shown in the photos of the pistons above.
