Thanks for your input Bruce H. Your absolutely right.


What it would take for me to buy in:

People have different comfort levels. Most products and services today come with a manual, a detailed description, risk and safety issues, a written warranty and any effects (changes) it may have on the customers property.

A simple write up of what is being sold, what is being promised, what is being changed, how the promised service will meet it's objectives, and the warranty (what happens if the tune is lost).

Currently as I see it tuner's offer this:

Customers should anticipated performance gains in horse power and torque with no documented confidence.

Customers property may be damaged from service at customers own risk with no recourse. No terms of reference are set out. What happens if something goes wrong? The customer is left with any resulting damage (could be many thousands of $s to fix).

Customer is left at the mercy of the tuner to perform changes on his/her car in a safe and reliable manner and not cause damage. What are the limits the tuner uses. How is the AFR settings changed. How much is it leaned out. How will the engine protect itself.

Tuner will make changes to customers ECU with no explanation of what is being changed and at what levels.

Everything is vague. There are a lot of services and products sold today with similar vague promises, terms and conditions. Most are scams. I'm not saying these tuner's are scammers. With so many unanswered questions tuner's make their service/product open for interpretation. Why the secrecy?

I don't want to buy a black box to find out it only contains air, is only temporary as long as the tuner is in business or decides to provide tune, and worse yet to find out, I destroyed my engine and lost my manufacture's warranty. I love my car, I enjoy taking car of it and protecting it. I'm asking the tuner's to provide some answers to the above and raise my confidence in there product/service.

 

Is there any way to get the Jaguar F-type R trim tune from the coupe installed on our cars? that's 550 HP and pretty certain it won't damage the engine in any way and pass smog tests. Plus it should be less expensive than what the tuner shops want for a tune and pulley.

 

$1900 sounds cheap. If someone finds it cheaper please post.
Does the warranty get voided if I change pulley and tune.
Also I was told no change needed to belt. They said use stock one.
Any thoughts. Gene

 

I agree can't we get that. Someone please check. Thanks

 

If the coupe has it is must be available for roadster.

 

I believe most tuners start from the Jaguar 550 hp tune on the 5l SC. Ask your tuner. If I get my car tuned I'm going with Eurocharged. I believe Jerry is the man you want to talk to.

 

Hi JerrytheBanker


I'm in Weston. What shop in MIA is doing the work (if you don't mind my asking)? I'm brand new to Jaguar and it never hurts to have a good shop in your Rolodex.

 

I sent you a pm with the contact info for the service shop that I use!!!!
So, how do you like the Jag so far???? Wait till you get the extra power, you'll want to start using 27 on Sunday mornings just to see how you match up against the TT cars!!!!! LOL!!!!! I'm back down in a week, maybe we can hook up and start some Jag runs with others on this board from South Florida!!!!!
JP,

 

I like virtually everything about the f-type: styling, interior, super-charged V8, and especially the exhaust note. The 8-speed ZF (paddle-shift) automatic is crisp and responsive, but after nearly 25 years of clutch & stick, I'm not very good at paddle-shifting. The lower gears aren't very tall compared to my Z06 Vette, so my timings off, but I'm all grins while "learning" the car. Let me know if any f-type meets develop - maybe I can play hookie from the hospital. All this pulley swap/tune talk is making me lust for more HP (even though I can't harness what I already have) (lol). Thanks again for the info.

 

I have done many pulley and tunes from eurocharged on xkr, xfr, and xjr here in NJ. Huge increase! I just got an ftype and will do that one soon as well. Eurocharged FTW.

 

Just ordered pulley and tune from euro charged TX. Jerry is very good to work with.
We are shooting for close to 600 hp. Pulley might not be easy to do but Jerry is going to try and assist.
Can't wait. Where in nj is euro charged or you had them do it and now you do it yourself
Wow jag with close to 600. Man o man.

 

Congrats...I am very happy with my Eurocharged pulley and tune. Luckily for me they are local and I got to meet everyone. They are a great group of guys and did a terrific job on my car.

You should be over 600 hp no problem. I went from 480 rwhp to 540 rwhp. Pulls like a freight train throughout the RPM band.

Upgrade your tires next!

 

Thanks. Very excited. The person 2 posts before states euro charged in nj. I don't think they are there ?
I am looking to do tune and pulley. Thanks for the reply. I will order another set of back u tires !!!

 

I don't know all of their locations, but I think they have several. Jerry sometimes goes out of town and does tuning as well.

Get some sticky tires...Try the Michelin Pilot Super Sports. My friend has them too on his 911 and they are great.

 

Would I happen to the be the member you're speaking of?! Regardless, I agree with your post(s) 100%. I did a pulley and ETG flash on my old '12 XKR and it didn't do a damn thing, except LOSE 1mph of trap speed. *feeling* faster and actually being faster are 2 different things.

Never dyno'd it - but the track tells the story.

I just based lined my F-type at the track today, 11.83 @ 119.55. I'm going to try the Eurocharged setup this time, as long as I can get my money back if it doesn't perform at the track

 

I'm doing a survey on the XKR thread, https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...-5l-sc-111917/, concerning tuning the 5L SC. Please make a post of your times, tune and experience on the thread you've had with your 2012 XKR. I'm hoping this thread will reveal some measurable results.

 

I was told at a dealer (different then I bought the car from) that the “tune" would run around $1,200 to $1,500 depending upon your engine.

I didn’t get full info. as I wasn’t interested, but now may be

 

Hi Jay. Yes, I was referring to you. Good luck with the F and a tune!
Bruce

 

Good information. Please post your times from your XKR. I want to update my survey. If you have your F-type times/speed I'd sure like to see them.

 

I'm over here lurking from the XKR forum and noticed this thread. I have an 3lbs pulley, cat back exhaust and RSC tune, and in town the car is a rocket but can't get over 12.33@117MPH trap speeds(street tires 90F track temp) which is only a few MPH over stock.

Trying out Eurocharge with a before and after Dyno hopefully this week if the tool is available.
