Hi guys,
The host of the video explains the V8 motor is capable of being 800 hp at the crank. That's amazing!

 

nevermind

 

200 horsepower is way high for this kind of blower. It is not that big of a blower, nor that heavy of a mass compared to some designs out there. I'd realistically guess you're closer to 100-120; and you also must remember peak power required to spin the blower does not line up with peak engine power, so you can't just add the two together to determine how much stress the engine is under. I'd be very interested to know where this guy got him information.

 

Lot of smart members with mechanical expertise & experience!
One would think he got his info straight from the Jaguar folks.

 

Harry is an advisor to JLR SVO

 

That's assuming they're using the TVS R1900 blower. They might be using the TVS R2300.

 

Imagine how difficult that would be to get, but so worth it!

 

It's all unicorn farts and fairy sprinkles if you can't use it though.

 

A block of aluminum, a milling machine and some VAP software manipulation should easily make that possible. I am contemplating mounting an R1900 on my V6.

 

Are you pining to become JVIIII? (Just joking.)

 

Comment of the year.

 

One question is why would they hold out on us and leave us with a smaller blower?

On other hand, thankfully, JLR didn't slap bigger blower and manual gearbox into SVR. I don't think I would be able to resist 650HP V8 RWD 7spd MT F-type. Just thinking about it makes me want to go play with a shifter.

 

Remember that recent heist of 100 engines from JLR? By my estimates, Unhingd has at least 90 or so engines left to go through.

 

That made my day.

 

I'm sure its more expensive, unnecessary for where they wanted to be from a horsepower standpoint, worse from a fuel economy standpoint and potentially would cause packaging issues they couldn't easily fix.

 

I'd go for the sprinkles before the farts, real or imagined

 

Considering and doing are two different things. But, then again, I am Unhingd.

 

That new ZF 7 speed dual clutch (true) manual transmission is indeed beautiful to behold, but it looks to be set up for AWD.

The 2300 blower would be awesome...and I do alot of questionable projects...but eh, I couldn't pull the trigger on going down the road of trying to do a 2300 swap.

 

i adapted a ken bell 2.6 litre twin screw to my 4.0 v6 in my nissan 4wd truck that came off a 6 litre vette. Runs real well @13psi and pushes the 1000cc injectors to 70% duty cycle @7000rpm. And they said it wouldnt work! Been running great since 2012
