NASCAR Boom Tubes on a Cammed Mercury Grand Marquis! Full Exhaust Video.
I've been meaning to do a video on these for a while, always get lots of questions about my NASCAR style boom tubes from SpinTech. You'll bear cold start, revs, idle, and more.
Not sponsored, but these can be found at spintechmufflers.com/
Keep in mind, my motor isn't stock and revs to 7K. Enjoy!

Auto Cross Mercury Grand Marquis on a fast AutoX course. CAM - C Surprises Mustang guys! (Crown Vic)
Переглядів 37421 день тому
First AutoX of the season, definitely didn't know how my tires would grip yet. Running Accelera 651 Sports this year, available at TireStreets.com. On the last run, had a fellow "AutoXer" ride with me, a mustang S550 guy, the Mercury "Mafrauder" surprised the heck out of him! As always, more seat time is needed! Feel free to ask about the suspension and engine, or better yet, check out the vide...

Переглядів 225Місяць тому
Fix a common problem on Ford EcoBoost engines, the dreaded acceleration hesitation and misfire. This can obviously result in poor performance, but if left unchecked could potentially cause damage. We'll go over the relatively simple fix for this, and the specifics. This issue seems most common on 3.5L F150's, but can arise on various other models with different EcoBoost displacements.
The Mafrauder gets a (almost) new PI intake! Tips for your Crown Vic, Grand Marquis, Town Car intake
Переглядів 231Місяць тому
There are several great step-by-step instructional videos on UA-cam about replacing the Ford 4.6L 2v PI intake. But, I thought I'd share a few tips that made my intake replacement much smoother and easier. Plus the end result of gaining back at least 25hp by going back to a factory Ford PI intake (old style, not the new re-release).

I'll soon be adding an oil temp gauge, and when the vortech goes on, I'll run a boost gauge too.

    Its not bad but clean undersized (sized as small as doesnt restrict too much/stock-like but with muffler and resonator deletee) is still my favorite v8 production car sound.

In my Law Enforcement Driver course I got to drive both the Vic and Charger and our course was similar but with even less spacing. I also raced dirt oval cars from the age of fifteen to my twenties.

    My '18 3.5 eco doesn't do that, but it does have what I think is turbo surge. Feels kinda like the turbo is surging, but it's only under wot, especially when in sport mode. Mine has 178k miles on it. I have 4500 miles on the plugs and a new Ford timing set, but it still does the tugging at wot. My wifes '18 Explorer only has 75k on it. It seems to have lost pulling power but still runs great. The dealer is trying to blame the antifreeze for problems, even though it's still under the recommended replacement interval. I've told them the coolant doesn't have much to do with power loss.

    • @Socoolds455
      @Socoolds455 29 днів тому

      Coolant loss shouldn't cause power loss unless it's running hot, or has a bad head gasket. I have a sneaking suspicion that the condensation issues are from the Minnesota climate, seeing regular low 90's in the summer and regular below zero winter temps. That kind of temperature swing can't be good for it!

    in some cases: the stack up in tolerances are tight! So if you buy a rotor on the thicker end of tolerances and pads on the thicker end of tolerances.. it gets tight quick, not to mention tolerance differences in the caliper itself over the course of a decade and multiple suppliers. Used pads certainly helps on initial install, if you have to cheat try an old pad on the outside of the rotor and a new pad on the inside as the insides always wear faster.

So far it has been decent as far as not blowing out and leaking but that's not to say it's great. Hopefully someone will post a review on the newer Ford intake after they have ran it for a while and see if it lasts. It'd be interesting to see how much more reliable it is as opposed to what has been out there. I think if this newer intake craps out I will probably go with the newer revised Ford intake.
