thank tbird
I hope that avos will post links to the picture of his swap to get a clear idea of the job involved in ts swap
I have seen in your picture that it's not the S type R engine
in my opinion our engine has little dimensional difference in air box over the compressor, but it's only an idea

Thanks to everybody will help

 

@Crocodile62
I hope you understand that I can’t give away to much details of my setup, there have been companies in the past (mentioned both here) that already took my posts as a basis to even start thinking (and later) building their own TS conversion. I think am already giving here a lot of extra info, also that I have already done a conversion on a STR is info for others as now they know it can be done. You could either do the TVS, TS yourself, or when I finish my package and you can buy that as a DIY kit.

 

Trust me, Andre AKA Avos is the man to get his done and package it for sale. i have seen pics posted by him of it done on an STRor XKR don't remember. He cannot just give his Research and Development away for free so other companies take it. Just be patient, he will get this done, but more important he will get it done the right way, you can strap a kenne bell on but to have it work effiently and w/o codes, takes time.

 

 

I didn't know that avos is a commercial business
I want to make my own developement not for any business pourpose
S-type is just for fun
I am only asking which kind of job is involved in order to know how much time I have to spend of my free time to build and make this swap
Have I to build my own intake? Have I to construct special support plates or other supports?
The kenne bell and 112 have the in and out ports in similar locations?
Thanks for these little infos

 

Andre is taking his time (damnit) in order to do it right. I am going to take care of other things, exhaust, handling and looks first so that I can be ready for when the time comes.

 

To find out those kinds of things..... just do your own research if you don't want to wait for avos.

 

x2!.......but need more power til next yr

 

@Crocodile62
That was a harsh statement; I am not in this for a business as mentioned, my normal business (not car related at all) is what I live off, all my time spend on our cars causes a loss of income, but was/and still is a joy to do which why I am doing it.
On top of that I have spent quite a bit over the years, and first started in 2006, buying milling machine, aluminum welder (and learned how to use it) to get to a point that I am completely satisfied that everything works as it should and can reproduce what I have made at the lowest cost possible. I have found a company that helps me in making 3d Drawings, so they can be send to companies that can CNC the parts. Some have already profited over my work, and I am still providing as much information that I can on performance, which would not be a healthy business in my terms if that would be my business. All I am looking for is to make a DIY kit, and get a small margin so at least I can get out of my costs (if ever…), so my time spend is what you get for free, and I have had the pleasure to create something.

So the enjoyment of making something yourself is cool imo, so don’t ask around and get to it I would say (here should come now a thumbs icon, anyone know how to do that?)

 

Agreed. My old Vette started off life with a weak 454. Went to Rodek 502 and 700HP before I stopped. I hope not to go along that path with this car! LOL.

Headers, TS, exhaust and chip will likely be the final config for the motor.

Upper and lower pulley with a nice port job in the meantime. Should Andre come through, I'll sell the existing set-up.

 

Trust me there is never enough HP! That is what I thought w/ my 02 ZO6.....and now it has a 408 w/ AFR 225's and Procharger D1 and all the goodies to go w/ it making 660rwhp and 649rwtq, 418 rwtq at 1800rpms......and that is only on the large pulley at 7lbs of boost.......One day Ill put the smaller pulleys I have for it and turn the boost up for what the motor was built for and crack a nicey nice dyno number to play with the supras......but as far as traction, I dont get it til top of 3rd gear sometimes if I am lucky HAHAHAHHA I mastered the drift stright racing!



And yes, I do all the work, it saves on the corvette tax, similar to the Jaguar tax!.....

Ram Dual disc clutch install and replacement od a busted axle and upgrade to 300mm axles, and carbon fiber heavy duty clutch packs in the rear dif...

 

Seriously... toss a turbo feeding the 112 and you can get as much as much power as you'd like with plenty of low end power.... It's big with the mustang guys right now and some other cars. I saw a trailblazer with a small magnacharger fed by a huge turbo that made over 1100 wheel hp.....

Okay, who's going to do it to their jag?!

Riski, it sounds like we're from similar backgrounds. Not too many corvette guys do their own f/i work.

 

Not much room is under the hood.....the thought has crossed my mine a few times haha, then again it still is my daily driver and winter car here in Chicago haha

 

Where the %^& do you guys get the $$$ to buy these toys? You dudes either are single stay at home kids or members of a cartel. I'm a friggin busy doc, and still I don't have the dough beyond ny support of my wife and four kids, and overhead.... I want to be you guys! Wahhhh! Weep, weep, weep....

 

haha! I wouldn't be able to pay for this if I had a kid...let alone kids. I don't have a wife either, so I have the final call on where the funds get blown... err invested.

 

x2!

Im only 32, and the Jag, and 2 bikes are paid for.....the vette is getting close.....Have a decent house, and a good job, but Uncle Sam helped with some of it, served 6 yrs in the Army.....

 

Attached is an image of the dimensions for the TVS superchargers.

Enjoy.
