Default Eaton m112 supercharger upgrades

Looking into supercharger replacements

I have done my research into what is possible in terms of tuning the standard Eaton m112 supercharger on the AJV8 4.2

Does anybody know of any off the shelf replacement chargers which are direct bolt on to this engine for performance upgrades. There seems to be limited info on the internet without actually contacting supercharger companies directly and asking them if they do one.

Cheers for any info

there are zero after market blower options ! bar the avos kit .
which at least for now is discontinued . it may pay to put your name on his list if he has one . it may help to force another batch if interest is shown .

Last I recall, wasn't the twin screw somewhere around $3,200.00 US. I have to scratch my chin at that kind of money being spent on what seems to be a dinosaur STR. Especially when no tunes are available. Hell one member just recently sold his immaculate 2005 STR for the same price.

Sorry to be a Debbie Downer.

Noted , and a very realistic remark .
i agree a car is only worth what you can get for it .
some markets are better than others .

but i also understand that cars can be like family and become priceless
to some individuals . i still own my first car. i have spent about 4 times its now value on it over time , and 400 times what i payed for it , and i love it !
and it's now appreciating. and not for sale. ever! it will stay in the family .

03-05 STR,s fetch $10k-12k usd here in NZ.
and alot of the tech is still current or not long phased out in new fords . so hardly a dinosaur . to you maybe.

plus there really is no replacement for the STYLE of the S-TYPE
since the S-TYPE .
and i can understand why some one would rather mod than up/side grade to something newer .

Also TL Jaguar near Reading offer TS kits using some different blowers from what I've seen, I believe even Whipples. But at the price, it would be more effective and economical to buy and tune a XFR which would be significantly faster. Perhaps even a tuned XF SV8 (with Cambos tune) would come very close to TS performance on a 4.2 STR.

OK, I stand corrected .
i was unaware of any other current production kit's,
thanks .

I really like the XFR's exterior .
but it would take the detailed interior of the XFR-S-GT to sway me towards a non or less of a jaguar interior with in a jaguar .
and would in that case be cheeper to mod the STR.
