Pulley swap V8S?? thoughts plz
Hello dear members,
My first post and my first jaguar....
Just got my 2014 f-type V8 S.
Love it! amazing in every way...
As usual, im already looking for upgrades
I was reviewing threads on SC pulley swaps.
As i am sure you know, I have the V8 5.0L SC.
Mina has a pulley for the 5.0L.
My questions, are basically:
1-Will i get issues with driveability?
2-Is the ECU same as in the XFR?
3-should I do it??
4-Is it worth it?
5-Once installed, should I do master reset on ECU?
Thanks in advance..

New member "here" to the Brit scene!!!!!!
Just got the wife's F-Type V8 S, deliver tomorrow, but I have to say, I might be driving this one more than she will!!!!! What a "sound track"!!!!!!!!
Anyways, I am also looking for upgrades!!!! I know 500hp is a lot but when you have a TT UGR SuperG (1,000hp) you can never have enough!!!! LOL!!!!!
I hope some stuff will come out over the next few months??????

Will you be doing dyno runs before and after? It would be nice to know the exact improvements of the tune and pulley. I am very interested in this too. But I am always leary of vague and seat of the pants comments, The more it cost the better it feels.

Aftermarket power gains should always be taken with a huge grain of salt. There has been various opinions on even the effectiveness of a pulley change, if the engine electronics allow the extra boost or simply regulate it down to the stock levels.
As to the re-flash, insist on dyno results, otherwise it is empty claims, as far as I am concerned. Also, you do realize that every time you take the car to the dealer for service, they may flash a software update and eliminate your tune. Then, you will have to reflash each time and, I believe, only two free reflash is included in the purchase.

Any news? email me at MYREDXFR@GMAIL.COM and let me know if you received any performance upgrades. I want to upgrade my car with a pulley and tune as well.

Work all done but haven't had a chance to drive yet!!!! Car is now down in Miami and will spend the winter down there till next spring when it will be back up in Toronto!!!! I've also set up a dyno pull which should be done by early next week by a local shop in Miami!!!!!! I will post dyno sheets and driving impressions as soon as I get back down to Miami!!!!! I've been told that it is even louder than before and pulls like a freight train!!!!!!
