Do you happen to have a video of the version with the pops? What is the difference from stock sound, does it pop at lower RPMs with it or just pops more often above 4000 Rpm? Does it burble more, that's what I would want more of that kind of roar or burble.

 

The pops are accentuated if decel is initiated over 4000rpm, but can be minimized or eliminated entirely if you maintain just a bit of throttle. For full popping effect, leave your foot off the throttle entirely.

 

Little trick for producing crackle and pop indefinitely even on factory tune:

Let revs drop to about 4k, then repeatedly "tap" the throttle to produce oscillation of a few hundred rpm either side of 4k. Done just right, this will produce indefinite crackles and pops.

Just a party trick of course, but more than sufficient to entertain a juvenile like me. Stuck behind boring mini vans in a slow moving queue? No problem! Just down shift a gear or two and amuse yourself (and your fellow motorists) with a "wide range of intoxicating noises"!

 

Yeah, I've used the (very light) throttle tap to good effect.

 

He knows and works with fm MoscowLeaper who surprise surprise live in Moscow, who has the correct gear and is very experienced with using it so maybe he can help out the OP.

 

I don't have nice videos anyway added some, stock, vap stock and vap pops, burbles gone.

Nice clips!

 

Thanks!

 

Hello Everyone,

Quick note to let you know about a couple of things... Chris is going on Vacation next week (3rd-7the of August) and on the 17th-21st. During this time we won't be accepting file submissions for tuning. When he's back it will open up again.

Secondly, we have simplified and combined our listings for both the V6 and V8 ECU Tunes and the pulley upgrades. You can still purchase pulleys individually but for those looking for both it's just a little simpler:

https://www.velocityap.com/product/j...ace-svr-xj-xf/

 

Enjoy vacation and thanks again for making the F-Type experience that much more BADA&$!!!

 

Onya Chris, have a good break!
Great web page redesign for the tunes and pulleys Stuart, muuuuuch better!
Still a major problem for us Oz mob though - the Scuderia Autoart page is still useless with zero trace of F-Type tunes, pulleys, exhaust options etc etc.
But I s'pose it's not easy for you to get Scuderia to update their pages and you would only be losing a handful of sales at most with the existing set-up.

 

XE forum is dead...so I'm going to hang out in here again. Waiting for a sale on VAP tune....😋.... I thought I had bought a crank pulley from VAP, but turns out I purchased it from EuroToys. Not sure if I will need to purchase a new crank pulley for the XE or if I can just transfer the one I currently have from my XF. Will sort it out after I get back from Russia in September. For now I spent my tune money on a sub/amp set-up....hehehe.

 

If you are talking about the larger lower/crank pulley the Eurotoys one is effectively identical to the VAP one.
If you check out my sig you will see I have a Eurotoys pulley with a VAP tune, works a charm!

 

Thats what I am hoping for. But Stuart mentioned belt size may have changed. I will have to wait and see how it all works out.

 

+1. The only reason I got the Eurotoys pulley is that Stuart wasn't producing them yet when I was ready to install one.

 

Vacation is for the WEAK!!!!! More work is the key to real happiness!

Kidding aside, enjoy your time off; my comment above is out of pure jealousy.

 

Lol...actually..i love your comment. My wife has been stuck in Russia since the lockdown. After the first few days...it will be 24 days of hearing all the pent up gripes and complaints that she hasn't had the opportunity to express for the past four months....lol 🤣🤣🤣....but I am definitely looking forward to those first four days!!!! 🍌

 

Not just the belt length but there's two different pulley offsets as well. So your existing pulley may transfer over but it might also be wrong and shred the belt.

 

I'm going to have to reach out to EuroToys and see if they have a belt to match the pulley or if it uses the same set-up.

 

The belt they recommend for the V6 is a Gates Micro-V DK080568, also known as a 8DPK1444 (metric). A bit tight getting it on, but still within the limits of the tensioner.
