Modifications needed to Install a TORK TECH supercharger on a 98-2002 Ford Crown VictoriaNote: The following is how I Installed a tork tech supercharger on my 2001 ford Crown Victoria police Interceptor it may or may not fit +03 and or other models and years. Before you start removing stuff from your car, Inspect the supercharger kit, in case you need to return if damaged so your car is less time off the road, I found mine to a have a nick under the supercharger on the manifold mating surface, luckily I was able to fix with JB WELD, without returning it to tork tech. Be prepared to spend a lot money on extra stuff like hoses, clamps, etc, an extra set of hands makes it easier to Install. Took me about a weekend to have the supercharger Installed by myself and like two extra weeks to find all the misc parts and stuff. Follow the Installation Instructions on tork techs website www.torktech.com Label all your connections and take lots of pictures before you start to disassemble so you could go back and look at the pictures if you dont remember, I didn't need to remove the hood but I removed the wiper cowl to make it easier, Remove the Intake manifold and salvage all the hardware until you make sure you don't need them ( the tork tech tuner kit brings hardware ) discard the crash bracket, Now is a good time to go buy some thermostat housing bolts, the old ones will probably break off, clean the manifold mating surface, purchase new Intake gaskets. Next you'll have to modify the heater tube that sits under the stock manifold. Cut off the hard line right behind the water pump leaving about 4 inches of hard tube so you could install the supplied 5/8 hose over it. Install two clamps on it,cut the hard line at the other end the picture on the bottom shows you the back end of the hard line.

Next The cylinder head temp sensor has to be relocated to go on the out side of the head over the #6 exhaust manifold there is a hole with the same thread. Below is an image of where it goes in.

Make sure you have lots of wire connectors and wire on hand, also shrink tubing you are going to have to lengthen the alternator wires, IAC, TPS, IAT and Mass Air Flow, I relocated the battery to the trunk, using a summit relocation kit (2 gauge wiring) and a optima red top. Next assemble your new Injectors on the old fuel rail cut off the old shrink fit lines on both ends of the fuel rail and replace them with inch fuel injection hose ( see pic below circle )and install fuel injection clamps. NOTE: BEFORE YOU INSTALL THE FUEL RAIL ON THE NEW MANIFOLD ASSY INSTALL THE ORIGINAL COOLANT . SENSOR ( ARROW ) , IF YOU DONT IT WILL BE VERY HARD TO TIGHTEN IT WITH THE FUEL RAIL OVER IT.

Next the stock fuel Injection plugs of a crown vic wont work with the mustang injectors, Instead of splicing new mustang connector plugs onto the harness , I recommend buying Injector connector plugs ( EV6 to EV1 ) pictured below.

I did not need to grind the block like it says on tork tech's website, the Intercooler tubes fit without problems. ( I might have an earlier version of the kit, the never ones may be different Before Installing the cross-brace its a good time to remove the accessory tensioner and removing some metal from it, if not the tensioner will rub on the cross-brace. ( see pic below )

It's also a good time to change the spark plugs, I'm using NGK TR6 gapped at . 035. Before Installing the cross-brace you need to remove some metal from the mounting pedestals on my case it was of an inch from each side to align the belt, circled below ( make sure you measure yours, might be different ) below is the cross-brace

You also need to cut off a stud from the front cover that will rub on the belt , remove nut and cut stud flush ( see pic below )

Install the acc. Belt then Install the cross-brace and make sure the belt is aligned.

I deleted EGR so I did not use the Included EGR tube, what I did was fab up a block off plate from aluminum ( .40 )and cut off the egr tube behind the head, bent it over it self and sealed it up with JB WELD, I couldn't remove it from the

manifold so that's why I did this.

Assemble your supercharger with the plenum and Install onto the car ( two people make it easier ) make sure to not disturb the gaskets or drag the supercharger on the head.

Note: the pictures above show the original Intake manifold bolts Installed finger tight, the tork tech kit includes hardware, make sure you use the tork tech

hardware and not the original. You need to purchase a 2000 mustang GT cruise control cable ( about $20.00 from ford ), the crown Vic cable is too long. The stock accelerator cable works fine you just need to hold it at the mount, I used a tie wrap ( see pic below )

Time to cut the hood, if you don't have a garage like me you need to cut it now or it wont close anymore :).. get your high speed cutter out and climb on top of the engine and start cutting away. Here are some pics.

Start connecting sensors and plugs, you could use the stock IAC or for a better fit a 2002 mustang gt IAC works good because its shorter, I went the cheap way and used my stock IAC with the TPS flipped backwards so it does not hit the IAC. ( see pic below )

Secure the power steering reservoir to the cross-brace ( I used tie wraps again ;) )

Following the Instructions on tork tech's website for the vacuum routing and plumbing. You need to go shopping. The stock upper radiator hose is too short, the new hose is napa # 8602 like $20.00 The Intercooler reservoir will be on the way of the overflow bottle, so you need to go to a junkyard or to the dealer to buy a 92-97 panther coolant tank, (95-97 preferred) along with a 92-97 lower radiator hose ( make sure to use a CVPI hose 2 pieces if you have a CVPI with an oil cooler ) If you want the bottle from the dealer the P/N is F3AZ-8A080-A, its like $70 , I got everything from a junkyard for $15

Install the bottle on the passenger side fender how it would install on a 92-97 Vic. ( pic below ) Install the Intercooler bottle and pump, you need to tap somewhere for 12V with the key ON, I used one of the cooling fan relays mounted on the passenger fender,( see pic below ) I used the passenger fender radiator ground location to ground the pump also, ( see pic below ) make sure the ground location is free of paint and rust.

Install the Intercooler, luckily we have more room than mustangs, this was fairly easy, I bought an L shaped bracket and some bolts and washers at my local ace hardware some thinking, drilling and your done. Remove the plastic shroud over the radiator, you'll see a support brace where the horns are attached, this brace has a bunch of holes in it, use one that suits you better, below you could see the L bracket attached to the brace with a bolt and nut (top view)

Here you see the L bracket from the bottom attached with a screw (I had some of the hardware laying around) you could use regular bolts.

In the picture below, you could see a seal that runs in front of the radiator, if you peel it off, there's about an inch of metal from the radiator support that you could drill into to support the Intercooler from the bottom, (being careful to not drill through the radiator) this is where you use the bolts and nuts you got at the hardware store.

Here's how the Intercooler pump looks Installed

You need to cut some rubber of the shields on each side (passenger and driver) to run the Intercooler hoses through.

Here's how I ran the new alternator cable

the alternator is mounted backwards and hits the stock fan, you could use a smaller 130 amp (4g) Lincoln mark 8 alternator using the mark 8 pigtail and have about 3 inches of clearance or you could keep the stock one and deal with it ( real pain to remove the fan though ) , also you could change the fan like I did, to a slimmer Taurus fan.

Stock alternator and fan

upper rad hose

No clearance with stock fan

here's how the supercharger belt is routed ( really tight to get on )

another one of routing

Notice the washer under the alternator on the pic above (the washers keep the alternator from rubbing on the engine timing cover) here are some misc pictures, that might help.

Behind plenum

the above picture shows the Lightning MAF (90 mm) and maf adapter.
