Great video !
These guys are absolutely on top of their A game.

 

1000 Nm of torque! Wow.

 

That'll make the ZF 8HP sweat!

 

Brilliant video! The F-type is my first supercharged car and this is the first video that shows a supercharger in details. A few comments:

- I think the car's model year and mileage should've been mentioned
- Were the cooling pipes replaced at the same time? Wouldn't it make sense to replace the injectors while the supercharger was out?
- this car will need much bigger brakes
- it would've been nice to see it driven on the road.

I drive a base model, V6 manual all year round on twisty roads. I can't imagine what'd be like driving an RWD car with that much power to be honest but again, really good video.

 

A younger version of me without kids probably would have done something like this on my R, or an underdrive pulley swap + tune, or maybe both?

I'm curious what mods like these do to the value of a vehicle when selling private party or even trading in? If it's out of warranty already it's probably less of an issue?

 

Most people would probably not consider it added value, unless they were planning to do the same mods and you've now saved them some time/money.

 

Oh yeah. It's definitely not increasing the value, in almost any scenario. I was more worried about it having the opposite effect, decreasing the value. Like when I was searching for F-Type R's, there's no way I would have pulled the trigger on a modified one (aftermarket SC, pulley, etc.), even at a discounted price (unless it were an absolute steal, but even then I'd be very cautious). Dealers probably aren't keen on having "molested" models on their lots either, esp. when they can't/don't know the source or quality of the aftermarket parts.

 

Yeah I wouldn't necessarily say it should 'de-value' the vehicle, but you're certainly looking for a more niche buyer now.

 

A few folks on here have reported buying used F-types, and discovering after-the-fact that the car had been tuned. Pretty slimy not to disclose that.
