I agree feeling cheated with not seeing the performance after the Dyno and too many commercial interruptions TH-cam.
Love seeing the police vic getting some love!!! However, the fact that the air intake under the frame could suck up water is a no go for me. I would want mine to be a daily that can surprise a few ricers at a stoplight. Regardless, nice vid and would like to see it drive.
I love these guys !!! But as a retired NYPD Det. , who owns a '95 Chevy Caprice 9C1 and a '08 Crown Vic P71 was my last company car when I retired, it should be noted that it took nearly 10 years for Ford to match the performance of the '94-'96 Chevy Caprice 9C1. Not they were in any particular hurry since they had the RWD Law Enforcement sedan market all to themselves since 1997. Though I love my 2nd Gen SBC LT1. Mad props to the Ford Modular V8. They are indestructible!
I remember when rear mount turbo was a concept. How's the lag? Having the turbo on the other side of engine bay used to create plenty of lag. I could imagine this far worse.
Whats the capacity of the average intercooler plus the piping to go from the turbo to that and back to the intake, i think it pans out pretty evenly on volume to full and thus lag, just this setup doesnt cool the air quite as well, maybe if you added fins to the charge pipe and wrapped the exhaust pipe it runs right next to its help slightly but i mean 368hp is probably all that auto trans wants anyway
Could trunk mount turbo intake and filter. Even control temp in trunk with AC vents in center console routed to trunk. I'm mapping out a plan to do just that. Just a little extra plumbing.
did seem like the stock had lost some efficency over the years meaning a well maintained 2011 P7B should get a lil more from the turbo, wonder if they will create an even better turbo for this car 2022. with the 410 torque you should get the 160 mph top speed no prob haha LIT
Tons of comments on here about discrepancies between factory horse power and what the car made before the turbo install. Factory is measured at the flywheel. They measured it at the rear wheels. 50-60 horse power loss through drivetrain not uncommon on a rear wheel drive car. It made 200 hp before turbo install at the rear wheels. After turbo install and tuning it made 368 at the wheels, but that’s not the real story. It made 410 lb ft of torque. Americans buy horsepower, but they drive torque. Torque is what launches that boat, horsepower is what gives you top end speed.
Them: This is a budget build so we'll make our own exhaust in our fully equipped shop with a professional welder Me: This is a budget build so I'll buy dryer hose and clamp it with the 3 hose clamps of different sizes that I have laying around
It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas.

Amazing how handy it is having a full frame to attach stuff to. Don't like that it's not usable in the wet though. My Grand Marquis is my daily driver so that's a no go. I do like how the overhead cam 4.6 reacts to boost. I can only imagine what it would be like if you changed the cam to take full advantage of the turbo.

Excellent work!!! No use though if it can't be driven in bad weather. That's what the police interceptor is all about. My dad was a postal inspector and has had them since 1948. I have been driving them since 1970. Ford designed them tested them and used them. Any and I mean any mods only hinder it's intended usage. Including the restrictive exhaust system designed to keep heat in the engine because of steam holes. Two turbos closer to the engine block with no mufflers work more efficient!!! It's been proven!!!!
Y'all like them girls I dated back when I was a teenager. Let me look at it and get me all worked up. And then shut me down. And then have to go home in all kinds of pain. In other words at least let us see the road test ! Y'all have a Great day.
Yep been inside one of them fancy hotel rooms after too much fun one night ... Best friend right over in the next room giggling for days best involuntary vacation I ever had.
I dunno, it's a cool concept, but "can't drive it in the rain" and I'm sure that we can forget about a smog test? I like builds that can *actually* be driven on the road. And yes, as others have said, we should at least have gotten to see it on the asphalt! 💨
I’d think it would be easier and less risky for the motor if you’d make a remote mount oil system for the turbo. Not risk the line breaking and dumping oil. Plus, the oil would be cooler and less prone to burning after shutoff.
Why would y’all mount the turbo under the car? You just took a daily driver and reduced it to only being able to drive in sunny conditions and what happens if your caught up in a summer shower
perfect timing that this video came out, a lot of 30 crown vic ppv's just went up for sale for less than 4 grand in florida, and im planning on picking one up as a project car. Nice work guys
Dont give me wrong this is a really cool project but i dont get it putting a turbo underneat the car it make no sens plus you cant drive it when it rain or on snow or even gravel road... damn thats wack ! But i love the show the work and idea its just my personnal opinion keep up the good content !
They use whatever parts some company wants to give them. In this case an STS rear mount turbo kit. A Vortech supercharger for a 4.6 mustang would have been a lot easier to install.
Orientation of the turbo for the oiling is important if not running a scavenger pump. You should have gone over all the added parts necessary for a rear mount turbo, part #s, etc.
I see you didn't change out the intake manifold. When mine failed on my 2007 P71, I replaced it with a Dorman with a higher flow rate. It gave me a noticeable increase in hp. Beings you have done so much to this P71, and beings you had her torn down most of the way anyway, I wonder; Why didn't you also upgrade the intake manifold?
I very much doubt you gained any HP by replacing intake manifold with higher flow rate without fuel air remap. In fact you likely lost HP as you've increased volume of air and decreased pressure thus decreasing flow rate.
@@maxdm1583 I don't give a rats-ass what you believe. I drove that car for three years before the intake broke, leaking coolant like crazy, and I had to replace it. I now get a little better gas mileage and a noticeable increase in pick-up. Now call me a liar again. There always has to be a clown out there that believes they know it all.
Damn, I wish Spike was still around. As a kid I would watch Powernation, Trucknation, and all of those shows on a Sunday morning. Same with Speed Network. What a shame
Crown Vic radiators are really low by the front bumper and tend to break very easily over small jumps. The turbo just adds another thing to fall off lol.

Love the intro blues brothers to the max
No doubts about the 1980 Blues Brothers movie intro here. Really great memories.
That torque curve 😍
Excellent work!!! No use though if it can't be driven in bad weather. That's what the police interceptor is all about. My dad was a postal inspector and has had them since 1948. I have been driving them since 1970. Ford designed them tested them and used them. Any and I mean any mods only hinder it's intended usage. Including the restrictive exhaust system designed to keep heat in the engine because of steam holes. Two turbos closer to the engine block with no mufflers work more efficient!!! It's been proven!!!!
That’s why you put a filter on it
Y'all like them girls I dated back when I was a teenager.
Let me look at it and get me all worked up.
And then shut me down.
And then have to go home in all kinds of pain.
In other words at least let us see the road test !
Y'all have a Great day.
Lol I feel ya on that
Blue ballssss
Yep been inside one of them fancy hotel rooms after too much fun one night ... Best friend right over in the next room giggling for days best involuntary vacation I ever had.
I dunno, it's a cool concept, but "can't drive it in the rain" and I'm sure that we can forget about a smog test? I like builds that can *actually* be driven on the road. And yes, as others have said, we should at least have gotten to see it on the asphalt! 💨
its all circumstantial where i live that car would be road legal... we dont have emmisions and smog here so its easy to get cars road legal
the cant drive in rain part got me as well lol
LT always makes the videos better! Love you guys for these unique videos.
Crown Vic is a muscle car. Pure beef.
When your excited to see the Buick....
And you see a damn crown Vic
It's cheaper for the same look. It's perfect!
jeremy brooks *you're
joseph migliore autocorrect failed me but thank you for the heads up brother
jeremy brooks You’re welcome!!
I’d think it would be easier and less risky for the motor if you’d make a remote mount oil system for the turbo. Not risk the line breaking and dumping oil. Plus, the oil would be cooler and less prone to burning after shutoff.
I was thinking that myself a closed system with maybe 3 quarts of turbine oil and its own filter. You could probably ignore it for a good long while.
Seems like no one on this staff "wanted" to do this build
Why would y’all mount the turbo under the car? You just took a daily driver and reduced it to only being able to drive in sunny conditions and what happens if your caught up in a summer shower
"You traded the Cadillac for a microphone"? I can see that.
It's built before catalytic converters so it runs good on regular gas.
perfect timing that this video came out, a lot of 30 crown vic ppv's just went up for sale for less than 4 grand in florida, and im planning on picking one up as a project car.
Nice work guys
Less than 4 grand? I paid 805$ for my 08 a little over a year ago.
I paid $500 each for the 06 and 08 I picked up last year. Both running/driving with less than 150K miles.
I love the panther platform. I wish you guys did more videos on it.
Cops and cabbies miss the hell out of it
With 160 horsepower that Ford can go from zero to sixty to your next court
Dont give me wrong this is a really cool project but i dont get it putting a turbo underneat the car it make no sens plus you cant drive it when it rain or on snow or even gravel road... damn thats wack ! But i love the show the work and idea its just my personnal opinion keep up the good content !
moto4power. I would rather supercharge too, but it was cool to see how it was done. This option is definitely a cost effective way!
It's been done alot, works great just need some intake shields
Cody Parker. I want to do this to my 13 Ram!
@@codyparker679 No it doesn't. Super hot intake flow. Awful throttle response.
They use whatever parts some company wants to give them. In this case an STS rear mount turbo kit. A Vortech supercharger for a 4.6 mustang would have been a lot easier to install.
Orientation of the turbo for the oiling is important if not running a scavenger pump.
You should have gone over all the added parts necessary for a rear mount turbo, part #s, etc.
I see you didn't change out the intake manifold. When mine failed on my 2007 P71, I replaced it with a Dorman with a higher flow rate. It gave me a noticeable increase in hp.
Beings you have done so much to this P71, and beings you had her torn down most of the way anyway, I wonder; Why didn't you also upgrade the intake manifold?
I very much doubt you gained any HP by replacing intake manifold with higher flow rate without fuel air remap. In fact you likely lost HP as you've increased volume of air and decreased pressure thus decreasing flow rate.
@@maxdm1583 I don't give a rats-ass what you believe. I drove that car for three years before the intake broke, leaking coolant like crazy, and I had to replace it. I now get a little better gas mileage and a noticeable increase in pick-up. Now call me a liar again. There always has to be a clown out there that believes they know it all.
The dorman intake notoriously robs HP from the Vic. Unless you got a different type
@@parkourpotato6066 I can only speak to what I see.
Should swap it for the Victor Jr
Nicely done. Tom is ready for the big screen.
Sit on the side of the highway with a part of binoculars and scare everybody who drives past
That's funny.sadistic mind.
wouldn't work. NO police use this car anymore. Would only fool a fool.
@@guysteel its easier to fool someone than convince them that they have been fooled.
Actually they are still in service and still see them from time to time, so I'd still respect them just to be on the safe side lol
@@mrford203 you know what? My freind; rationally speaking. What you think is"law" is not correct. Re ' think what you see
Why not upgrade the intake manifold, plenum and throttle body. Also so e shorty headers or longtubes!
ok... I don't get it... Is it the way you found to get the HUGEST turbo lag you could get?
It actually doesn’t increase turbo lag at all. That’s been debunked so many times.
On the filtered side of the Turbo, a 90-degree tube up into the trunk would make for a closed air-box and avoid excessive dust and water infiltration.
@16:37 100% CNC block? LMAO
It's amazing how many facts this show gets wrong. It's like the writers write anything they want
Damn, I wish Spike was still around. As a kid I would watch Powernation, Trucknation, and all of those shows on a Sunday morning. Same with Speed Network. What a shame
4:40 direct universal kit 😂
Bro where's the rip? Thats the most rewarding part of finishing a turbo build..
Does everyone who owns a P71 have to make a blues Brothers reference, jeez.
yes
No Dukes of Hazzard jumps with that turbo hanging that low to the ground!
Crown Vic radiators are really low by the front bumper and tend to break very easily over small jumps. The turbo just adds another thing to fall off lol.
Air Filter under neath Car Suction Water and Dust 🚓💨
NIIIIICE!! Crown Vics are a BLAST to drive, especially with a few more beans under the hood! Well done guys!
NEEDS COYOTE SWAP
The 4.6 is just one below the coyote
Hearing that thing roar was the happiest I've been since Alyssa left
20:30 How vertical do you want your torque curve?
Yes
Lt telling the welder to stay put is very relatable
21:09 What to do with it? Give it to a vet in need of a car ( cough cough ) 😁✋🏿
@@masterspacetime2826 ohhhh you mean statistically low income kids without great skills that got conned by someone into signing on for a car and a promise of future money but then in actuality got trapped in the life and couldn't escape and now has to deal with all the mental and sometimes physical repercussions when most thought they would be placed in a building handling paper work but instead got tossed into the field with a gun at 18-20? Ok funny man sorry your life's so bad.
@@kylez2141I went to my counselor to ask for tutoring , got introduced to a recruiter. Smh
One of the big reasons I don't like turbos is the shared oiling of engine and turbo.that and the piping
Love it!
Run a tube up into the trunk and put an intake filter there, avoid the problem with water on the road.
WTF. The first 4 min was a waste of time and disrespectful to the viewer.
They were doing a skit inspired by the Blues Brothers movie.
Loved the blues bros intro 👍🏽 🎸
