Sell current s-type, buy str. There is no easy way to do it.

You are gonna need alot more then just the supercharger. Just off the top of my head you would have to source all the intercooler parts. The entire upper intake along with heat exchanger and all the piping, plus the ECM. I'm sure there is a ton more stuff. You might as well just sell and get an STR like Michael said. Just the price of trying to source all that you would be well into STR range anyways. Plus you would be better off just going with the STR cause you would have the suspension and the rear end and the Brembos to stop all that power. Just wouldnt be worth it too you.

Just get a STR like everyone above me mentioned. Its well worth it. Think about, speed but no brakes and suspension to with hold such power.

Forget the idea.....

like BRUTAL says, engine internals are different, e.g. pistons (lower compression Marhle made, about $250 each) same on the con rods. Then there's the pulleys, supercharger, induction, intercoolers, pump and exchanger. Engine brain for the supercharged engine, this alone is over $2500. You get to see the point. Now you have a pile of parts on the floor in front of you, and the bank account missing over $10,000, you'll have to find someone to fit it. Here comes the expensive bit......
Once it's all bolted up, there's systems to check, and then the frightening prospect of an underbraked/overpowered Jaguar.......I'd just have done my research, and looked for the R version.....
