Boosting A Crown Vic Police Interceptor 160 Horsepower - Detroit Muscle S7, E7 

Bought one a week ago that looks EXACTLY like that. Perfect condition. 80k miles, 600 idle hours and not a scratch on it

Well this gives me all sorts of terrific, terrible ideas for my grand marquis

Didn't want to run an intercooler. Runs a mile of charge piping and an oil pump. "Simple."

How could you turbo it then NOT go out for a rip afterwords?!?! We've been cheated the best part!

Man who ever owned this vehicle took really good care. You don't find many clean 08 Crown Vics like this to often. Nice work.

From 250 hp to 368 hp is very impressive. 118 horsepower increase will come in handy on my 2011 CVPI.

I'm a Honda enthusiast, even imported a RHD civic to the states. But I've owned a fox body and a panther. A crown vic police interceptor is on the short list of domestics I still want to add to the fleet. Ford absolutely over built them and they're gonna be on the road for decades to come

The turbo setup it's completely exposed to the elements could be improved by adding some shield plates. Any ways Nice work clean install

Finally!!!! A crown vic on the channel

Boosted crown Vic?? Cleetus McFarland entered the chat.

Crown vics last for ever!!

"Cop everything" equals "Severe duty equipped". I have one.

Amazing how many people never heard of the STS turbo system nor been involved in the millions of internet arguments about them.

Love the Blues Brothers references

I'm a Panther guy so this is right up my alley.

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.

the set up on this vic is beautiful. love watching stuff like this.

Seems like a lot of plumbing, inefficiency and potential lag for a very exposed and hardly usable turbo car

"Direct universal fit"

When Tommy got in he should have asked what happened to the Cadillac. And of course the response is I traded it for a cop car.....

Is this a blues brothers vibe I'm getting here...

TOMMY RULES THE THE ENTIRE POWERNATION ROOST!!!

These are such great cars! I love my 2010 Crown Victoria!

“This is a direct universal kit that only takes a little modifying.” Uh yeah this totally makes sense...

This ended up being hella complicated. Locating the turbo underneath really exposes it to the elements and road debrix. I have a 2009 Interceptor with 150,000 miles on it and it still hauls ass. I agree feeling cheated with not seeing the performance after the Dyno and too many commercial interruptions RU-vid.

Love the intro blues brothers to the max

Great intro and project, very cool. Keep this kind of material coming and stay safe.

That torque curve 😍

That's too much work for something you can't drive in any kind of weather

Honestly, even though this show is literally from 2008, I’m in love

No doubts about the 1980 Blues Brothers movie intro here. Really great memories.

Just think what Barney Fife could have done with a patrol car like that.

Who needs a tanning booth when you have a welder. Killing 2 birds with one stone. 👍👍

I'm a medically retired Master Auto Tec. The number of custom and street ripping cars have come and gone. But it was allways fun to chat with the customers/new friends, after the first week or so of driving the car. From clapped out Celebrities to $450.000 Convertible GT500KR's. One thing, a dream if you may, has been to take a big ol American family sedan and make a well balanced sleeper. Crown Vic's are the perfect platform in my eyes. The 4.6 is versatile, transmissions are stronger, more efficient and can be modified to great extent. Old school "LUXO BARGE" and modern tech? DUDE!!! COME ON!!! Bro high fives to all of this! LOL..... I can see a twin turbo set-up working well, with sacrificing the rear passanger area and trunk. Who needs rear seats? Heh! Snorkle set-up for the intake, thru the body and into the trunk space. Mainly for the reduction of external intake turbo whine, rain protection as well. Trunk floor modified for an exhaust that only produces a "woosh" out of the tail pipes. A seperate oiling system for the turbos. Dynamat everywhere, custom rear faux seating, carpet and fabric. The most subtle Grandpa paint job, modified steel wheels for more rubber out back and stock wheel covers. AHHHHH....what a dream. To hear a friend ask "what the hell do you need a roll cage for?" Now I wish I had the 75-100k to do it!

NIIIIICE!! Crown Vics are a BLAST to drive, especially with a few more beans under the hood! Well done guys!

I wonder what the intake temps are post turbo with this setup.

Fix the cigarette lighter.

These cars are so much fun. Easy to slide around and control

That was awesome seeing LT help out with the exhaust.

"Budget" build. What's the budget? Yes.

"Direct fit universal kit".......................best quote of the whole episode. What boost levels were they running on the stock block?

Nicely done. Tom is ready for the big screen.

PowerNation's Blues Brothers LOVE IT

4:40 direct universal kit 😂

they make a "direct fit" supercharger that fits directly!

You guys and Richard Holdener have convinced me to get a P71 and turbo it ;)

That was a sweet jump. Ole girl caught some air!

I wish I would've had this one when I was working the streets! Love the old CVPI! Super tough cars!

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.

Love those old crown vics.

now that is totally awesome video about more horsepower on crown vic police interceptor can't wait to see more horsepower ... but i wish you did rebuilding crown vic police interceptor it will be totally awwsome full season just asking

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.

The Price of a used Vic just keeps going up .... Good thing there's a million still on the road . Every youtuber worth his salt is/or has done a Panther chassis. PowerNation does the Motor mods Correctly.

"Direct Universal" fit... love it

We need more crown Vic videos please.... lots of young guys have them and want to make them faster.

Love it!

"You traded the Cadillac for a microphone"? I can see that.

Lt telling the welder to stay put is very relatable

Looks better than 4th gen mustang if you ask me

id imagine water getting into that turbo would be a big issue in any area where you have rain and mild puddles

LT always makes the videos better! Love you guys for these unique videos.

Seems like no one on this staff "wanted" to do this build

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!

11:01 "Yep going to keep it simple." Let's let that sink in...

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! 💨

An intro thats actually fun to watch

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.

When your excited to see the Buick.... And you see a damn crown Vic

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.

Love the looks of the p71's! I need to breath a new life into my mom's 01 expo, 180k on the 2v 4.6

Loved the blues bros intro 👍🏽 🎸

I had to talk my son out of buying an old Crown Vic for his first car only because it had over 300k on the clock and it had been beat to hell. Otherwise, I'd have let him do it in a heartbeat. I love those things

@16:37 100% CNC block? LMAO

That opening is comedy gold!

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

Sit on the side of the highway with a part of binoculars and scare everybody who drives past

ok... I don't get it... Is it the way you found to get the HUGEST turbo lag you could get?

I don’t know who the other hosts are but Tommy is the only reason I watch any of the new shit.

Badass can’t wait to see it run!!!

Air Filter under neath Car Suction Water and Dust 🚓💨

NEEDS COYOTE SWAP

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.

I own a crown vic now I want that whole set up for mine

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 !

Does everyone who owns a P71 have to make a blues Brothers reference, jeez.

Cleetus bought this. I'm calling it.

That's what I ride over here in MASS. What a great Cruiser! Just love it! I liked you spare engine, I may get one wit TF header and some STG-5 cams hehe.. let's see! GREAT VIDEO!

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?

21:09 What to do with it? Give it to a vet in need of a car ( cough cough ) 😁✋🏿

Love the Blues Brotherish intro...

Tommy on the Banjo and Fiddle

20:30 How vertical do you want your torque curve? Yes

Lol..."direct universal kit"..

Love your Crown Vic!! Its a nice car!

Best show on the internet

Why do yall comment before you even watch it lol

WTF. The first 4 min was a waste of time and disrespectful to the viewer.

Great show .

Hats off to the police who helped in this vidja.

I really enjoyed the Blue Brother's themed opening
