Believe it or not - motor number 3 on its way-- 1st boom second NA -(dont ask) 3rd mod-- so that being said if anyone is looking for a supercharger for cheap Ive got one about 45000 miles on it -- BTW new to the forum Shalom to all!

 

Hey there;

I am currently talking to a mechanic to see if they have the ability to slap a native STR supercharger onto my S-type (non-R). If the mechanic says it can be done, how much do you want for it. How much do you think all the parts would weigh? I am in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Depending on the timing, weight, feasibility ect, I might either fly down, drive down, or get you to ship it. Of course, I would first need to see if it can be done.

Then, once that is done, all I have to do is see if I can slap the CATS into it and some Brembos and my transformation is complete (well, and the wheels, and the tinting).

FYI, I recently obtained a 2006 S-type VDP with 30,000 km on it at a price I couldn't pass up. Since it was such a great deal, and no warranty to worry about, it frees me of anxiety to see if I can super-ize this car. For those that will ask it....yes I love the car, yes I love the car even if I can't mod it, I am doing it because I can.

Cheers

John

 

hey cyanide, did you by chance see the thread in the XK8 section where it was discussed going 'R' from normally aspirated? Its there if you want to browse.

 

How much? shipping zip code 66205 to us

 

Thanks H20boy, that is the general concensus I am finding....people saying don't even bother. And, I am a reasonable person, so I am comming very close to fully embracing the truth about that. Still I will be talking to the mechanic (for multiple different things....suspension upgrades, supercharging, brakes, methods of paint touch up). To some extent, money really isn't a concern on this. I was looking for a sports orientated car. But, then I found an s-type and instantly fell in love with it....it has so much character. Now, I am stuck with two competing interests.

The only solution involves a jaguar for me now. Either:

1) mod the s-type I have
2) spring for an s-type-r
3) keep (=/- mod) s-type now and wait 2 years to get a XKR.

Probably option 3 without significant mods will be what happens. Without the adaptible suspension I am guessing any switch in suspension (my main concern) may leave me a little "flat".

But, we will see what happens.

Cheers

John

 

Hi Cy-
THe answer is absolutley not~! An NA motor carries a high compression of 11-5 and with a forced air you will get an insane amount of ping and a ECU freaking out in trying to map out-- weird codes and popups like performance restriction will appear. So there is no solution out there for a high compression to Supercharger ratio-- You need the 9-9-5 compression in order to run it.

 

Ive shopped on used pricing mostly in the 7s and sixes -- make an offer - Ill ship it at no cost

 

Didnt someone buy a supercharger (M112 STR), intercoolers, and elbow for around 500 recently?

 

Yes. On Ebay. There is a blower on there now for about $700 but it's been on there for months. To me it needs to be in the $300-$400 range to make it worth while.

I agree.....That guy on ebay now has had it there for a while.....not worht buying at that price for sure......I been waiting to see if he will drop it instead of listing it over n over....



How bout this I will give you 100 bucks for the blower for me to send it off and get ported/polished and I will give you my stock one back in return......and ***** the blower out as a "core" charge.....

 

I was hoping some sort of friendly blower swap would get started but I just bit the bullet and got a used one for a good price. I may keep my stock one until I hear the "Snake Bite" in person and decide if it's too much noise for a Jag!!
.

Ill give a few bucks to have less down time on my STR for anyone who wants to lend me a blower in return.....

Come on it is just sitting on a self collecting dust.....Make a few bucks and not do anything....

 

I will give you $250 for the blower and I want to know what engine you blew up. i want a 4.2l, to bore out and have it race ready and i can swap it for current one. I sent you email this morning.

i would like to port this one and have the current one for back up.

 

Super_jag, let me use it for an exchange first!

 

ok Ill let you use it, you can probably pick it up from him I think he is in Illinois, but he has to sell it to me first.

I am serious about this, my paypal is gabeanel@yahoo.com . I will email you my address unless i send it to Riski first.

 

ill pay 100 and shipping for it to use it for a core, and give ya mine

so there you go....350 for the blower

 

ok

 

SuperJag i sent you a response- not sure if you got a chance to check it- Does anyone have a personal recommendation - as in used them personally for porting supercharger -- other than dyers-speed performance -or Stiegemeier? Pricing for S1 usually runs around 500 - just checking if anyone had a carrot
Thanks in advance

 

Where in IL are you?

 

no message received.... so $350 shipped to Riski and he will ship to me
