@@AdamKaiser. , a mercury marauder is not a sports car 😑,,, no a grand marquis is not a sports car , but the marauder most definitely is , in my opinion 😉
My grandfather Bought his back in 2003 He was the 1st guy to get one In the of state of New England some days me and dad would fight over who gets to drive it my grandfather would just Laugh at us 🤣 and tell us how about no one is doing to drive it today lol I miss that car and grandfather he just passed away 4 years ago 😢 I miss you So much pops 😢 😞 💔
Super nice all around. Been a gm guy all my life. Bought a really clean 08 merc grand marquis LS with 104,000 miles and I love it. That marauder is super bad(sick)!
I'm setting my 06 towncar up now for the m112 torq Tech kit, been going through a progression build yesterday was catback exhaust, flow master h pipes, 2.5inch all the way back, roush Mufflers and tips - sounds so clean But of course you have your trolls that come by and say it's a luxury car they don't appreciate you making it out to be a luxury performance car blah blah blah and they get their little feelings hurt
Love this car how did you get that aftermarket screen to read marauder on startup? Id like to do something like that with my 07 gt500 and 97 cobra. That is really sweet. Does it have a full terminator engine or just the eaton on the stock engine? Nice build.
My buddy did this swap on his '03 Mach 1, same engine as Marauder, I think. He threw a rod on the first pull on the dyno with just a base tune. Motor had cast pistons and powdered metal rods. Sounds like you had better results than he did. Nice looking ride!
Yeah I know of guys that supercharged and the motor blew after 5k miles and others that have gone 100k plus with no issues. Mine was low mileage and in great shape when I added the blower. Mo’s Speed Shop is legendary for tuning Marauders… I left some power on the table in favor of a more conservative tune. I don’t beat on it all the time either. Worst case, blow it up and rebuild it better with forged internals!
Poor guy, i can only imagine what that felt like. Did they ever find out why? The engine can take 450whp if its healthy. Also if you buy a used eaton off a cobra theres a chance it didnt have the original pullies so it probably made way over 450whp once he put it on the mach1. As a fellow mach 1 owner, i am sorry for his loss.
Black! Good to hear from you. We’re all good over here. Yeah I finally sold the Chevy last year after 16 years! Caddy still runs strong and only has 58K miles. Always been a fan of Panthers, especially Marauders. Last of the body-on-frame RWD V8 sedans. We’ve come a long way from those old Buicks we had back in 03/04… I had an ‘85 Lesabre and didn’t you have a Regal? Take care brother
Liked and Subscribed! Big fan of the Eaton-Swap! What Kenwood double-din is that? How did you program the Marauder logo to show up onscreen at start-up?
Very very nice!!! I have about 85% of my Eaton swap parts. Going to do the head cooling mod while I am that far in. I still need a heat exchanger, fuel pump, injectors, intake, battery, small stuff like clamps and bolts - and a custom tune. Gonna chase down all Motorcraft parts for assembly so nothing sticks out. What wideband are you using? I am using boost and was on the fence about trans temp or AFR. My second cats are coming out so an O2 bung will be simple. With around $20K invested in 16 years of ownership I chased the Trilogy dream while I helped install nearly a dozen. The Eaton seems like the only reasonable choice now.
Thank you. Mine has the head cooling mod as well. Like you said, foolish not to do it while you’re there. I’m using an Autometer wideband. Not because it’s the best, but it matches my (real) Autometer oil pressure gauge and Autometer boost gauge. Yeah I’m very happy with the Eaton setup. At this point, I personally feel the only benefits of the Trilogy is the OEM look and novelty of having one of only 250 kits. There are a few parts availability benefits with the Eaton swap (if you ever have issues).
I have an 03 that i want to supercharge with the same set up as yours. If you dont mind me asking what did it take? Supercharger and pulley only or is there more to it?
good video my brother ,,i got 2004 maruader 112,000 miles on it..eventually im gonna have do my engine it has that rattle sound only when u frist start it up for about few seconds then it goes away..maybe timming chain tensioner latting the chain slap to the oil fill them or hydraullio cylinder in the tensionerare alittle worn
How much did the swap cost you? I'm picking one up Friday with 40k on the clock and I want to do this. I'm guessing it's injectors, fuel pump, blower and tune?
Congrats on finding a low mileage car. See my replies to @Ian Mayer. Probably $4-5K in parts. Then factor $2-3K for install and dyno tuning. I highly suggest joining mercurymarauder.net ... tons of info on our cars, including Eaton swaps. Also, I highly recommend MO’s Speed Shop in Dallas, GA. Guys send their cars there from all over the country, and they also do remote tuning.
I should add that we run less timing than a Cobra motor. As with any supercharged setup, you have to get a good tune. MO’s Speed Shop in Dallas, GA is top notch.
Kenwood Excelon DDX6905S. If you’re referencing the splash screen, you can probably find instructions for most double-din units on how to add a custom graphic. This is the video that I used: th-cam.com/video/mpH-L2vGzDM/w-d-xo.html
The whole car was banging!!!! When you started it up and that flashed across the screen I almost fell off my chair. I have to have that. Thanks for the upload.
Tough to say exactly. Bought parts over time and didn’t really keep track. If you’re talking just the Eaton swap, maybe $4-5K for parts and $2-3K for install and dyno tuning. That doesn’t include headers (another $1.2K), rear gears, or transmission pan/cooler.
I have the same supercharger just like that from a 04 cobra. I had plans to buy the tork tech kit for my crown vic but ended up purchasing a 09 G8 GT , so its just collecting dust.. Probably sell it on ebay..
@@ianmayer2951 No, that’s for all the supercharger parts. If you’re not already a member, I recommend joining mercurymarauder.net. Lots of info on Eaton swaps as many members have done them.

Watch that bottom end or unless you built it up... they will not last under boost. People think they're the same engines as the terminators. Soon find out they are not
