LoVe This car. By far the most exciting car I’ve been in. Looking to Boost this thing to 700+ HP.

any tips?

 

Looks great! Only thing i see issues with in CarMax vinyl sticker.

Unless you are looking to make internal mods to the engine, it is unlikely you'll get to much more than 675hp with niothing more than a tune and a couple of pulleys.

 

Tune is done. These r old pics Carmax sticker is Gone. Haven’t changed the pulleys. Where should I start internally?

 

Internal mods will require a complete tear down and rebuild with component that will require custom fabrication. Also a larger SC. $$$$$$... but contact FType17 for specifics. The two pulleys will provide you with more power than you can possibly use on the street.

 

No way to hit 700?. tune and pullies you said 675 max.

was thinking about changing the SC. It’s roots would changing it to a screw SC get it to 700 or not worth the trouble?

 

With these things, I always fall back on my old working life adage; what is the objective of hitting 700? What will it do for you that 675 wouldn't, or is 700 just a number? If it's just a number, don't waste your money. Just my view of course.

 

The upgraded SC will cost a penny or two, and then the custom fabricated billet adapter manifold, and the probable hammering on the bonnet to fit the assembly. Then, you would need to to upgrade the intercooling capacity if you want that additional hp for more than a few seconds. Nothing is imposible if you throw enough money at it.

+1.

 

Well said. I'm always asking my friends why they need or want more HP when they barely drive the car.

 

You can always get more power out of the engine for more money, but keep in mind that the transmission was designed to handle a max of 516 lb-ft of torque, which is the exact official number of the SVR. Going over that with engine mods increases your chances of blowing your transmission/drivetrain, which would be very expensive to replace. And the potential improvement in performance from the engine mods is incremental. Ditching some weight with lightweight wheels, brakes, or other things may make more difference without breaking anything,

 

Agree with many other comments here. These seem like pretty decent engines, but I think 700 would be right on the edge of needing new rods, pistons, titanium head bolts, and a ton of other item$ to keep it from coming apart...Then, as mentioned you have to contend with the rest of the drivetrain that will be over-maxed out.

I have added VAP Stage II ECU Tune, VAP Lower Pulley, Yellow Wolf Lower Intake, Mina Gallery Upper Intake, Methanol/H2O Injection System, VAP 200 Cell Cats / Downpipes, Cooler Iridium Spark Plugs, Sprint Booster V3, New Nitto Motivo Tires, & VAP ZF8HP70 Transmission Tune. (among other mods)…And it is about as fast as I can imagine it needing to be. Before I would add anymore to the engine, I will likely get lighter wheels, rotors, battery, etc... Other than aesthetics...not much left to do.

Agree also 700 is a number, but my 911 Turbo with less power can smoke most cars and motorcycles in a 1/2 mile...I have done it twice a year for 5 years at No Fly Zone events...30 + runs a day...tiny little 3.6 liter flat 6 boxer engine, with two tiny VGT turbos ..Lots of BIG HP, LOUD beasts nicely placed in my rearview mirror!

Good luck with whatever you decide to do...

Tip: Make sure you can afford replacement motor.

 

What’s sprint boost v3?

after all those mods. What’s the HP at 0-60
time? 1/4?

also how much $ did u drop for all that?

 

Sprint Booster is a device that remaps the throttle signal to remove the delay between the Accelerator Pedal Sensor and the Throttle Body Plate. It has ~ 36 settings, and in race mode level 9, it is like a direct cable to the TB...No delay at all, almost hard to drive as it can be jerky. I usually run on Sport mode #7, and switch to Race #9 when I want to have some fun.

I have not had much opportunity to get any good runs as I had an issue after the last round of updates....and it has been cold and/or snowy. I was able to get ~ 11.02 on 1/4 mile and 0-60( 1 ft roll) 3.17 sec in 30 degree weather(Dragy recorded), so I think it will do better when the tires are not so cold. I will likely go to the No Fly Zone with it this year instead of my 911 Turbo, and see what it can do? I also have not had many 1/4 mile runs, as there are no good spots to do so...Will use my Dragy at the No Fly Zone to check as they only give you the 1/2 mile trap speed. Of note on my times etc...these are on the street, in cold temps, and just punching the pedal....I am sure with some practice and/or trickery I can do better!

On the cost...luckily my wife does not have my login to look at this site...I have done other things like Project 7 grille, Rear JLR wing, etc.. And my total bill over this last year is ~$16000.00. I am likely going to add the SVR rear diffuser, and then maybe some better brakes, and Black wheels....Then just drive a bit until my next car or adventure??

Take care,
DC

 

Epic!! Have funnnnn. So from all the mods you have done and beautiful body work. In hindsight where would you have started first after Tuning?

 

Thank you...

With respect to the modding order, this is just my opinion...That + $25 will buy you a cup of Starbucks coffee, and is very much a personal preference, so just take it as that...My opinion, and my approach when I get a new car/platform.

My typical strategy when I get new cars that I am not as familiar with...This is after I have researched, read forums, driven, and selected a new platform. (I have followed similar approach an many Porsches, BMWs, and others).

• I usually do not tune a car first...I typically drive it for a bit to see what I like, and do not like, and get a sense and feel for how it drives and performs out of the box
• Then, while I am becoming comfortable with the performance etc., I put a plan together of aesthetics/accessories, suspension/ride, and performance upgrades
• Accessories (like badges and small updates - start/stop feature etc.) are easiest and cheapest while I continue to learn about the car...So I do those first, while I continue to research the other mods and vendors for the platform
• I typically address suspension/ ride (which also bleeds in to aesthetics ) next. Lowering springs, spacers, sway bars, wheels, tires (while still on factory power performance)
• After I have done the accessories and ride/suspension, I decide what all (or most) of the performance upgrades will be, AND THEN I choose a tune and vendor that supports those plans...For this car, Lower pulley (not wasting time/effort with upper), Type of tune/vendor, Cats/downpipes/exhaust, and other supporting updates for the tunes and/or accessories I have chosen...In this case better intercoolers, or water/methanol to address changes I have done with the other mods...You sort of need to know what the platform is capable of and what your goals are (and if they match).
• Last, AND VERY IMPORTANT, is I go through the car, after upgrading it, and change all fluids and wearable parts, and decide on a much more aggressive maintenance schedule. Fluids are amazingly important to the life of your car, and when you change the performance and/or driving conditions, it is a must to change the quality of fluids/lubricants and schedule for changing them.
• Throughout the update process...there are always more sprinkles of accessories and other things you decide on or lean about (e.g. my recent SVR diffuser order )

Again, this is just my approach. It means absolutely nothing beyond my preference.

Welcome to the Tuned F-Type R club! Enjoy!

 

Thanks for the love!

Talk to me people.. my focus is Performance and Maintenance. What are the best “additions” for Performance that Won’t blow my drivetrain.. misfire engine blow the pinion seal .. incinerate my Transmission...

These are the things I need to know.

 

Guess I did it a bit in reverse. Drove for about 1000 miles before tuning . Strangely my tuner was advising against a downpipe.. saying my engines supercharged. Left me confused. Did you apply the sprint boost After the tune? And is it possible to expand on your Last and Important part? Which are the best fluids.. which wearable parts were changed? I’m sitting at 40,000 miles. I have used Lucas for fuel injector cleaning.
