What does it include?

 

Nice upgrade. I also went from a pre-facelift to a SC 13.

I can't answer your question but if I had to guess it has different rims than the Draco and a seat time upgrade (like colored stitching).

My non-portfolio 13 5.0SC came with the updated stereo, Sport seats 17 way driver/14 way pass (all black), rear power shade, blind spot monitor, heated wheel/front windshield.

 

the seat specs are different as far as adjustment variations. it does have the nice stitched piping on the seats, and the rear power shade, blind spot, heat/cooled seats and heated steering wheel.... but it comes with 18' wheels which is think is weird for a portfolio package.

 

If you are buying a V8 SC, it can't have 18" wheels.

The rotors (both front and back) cant fit anything less than 20"

If your car has the V6, I am not sure that exhaust will work on your new car.

 

The exhaust will likely need to get re-routed by the shop, but it will fit, the boxes are smaller than stock.

Yeah..i am getting the V6 S/C

 

I was confused for a bit.

I have driven plenty of the loaner v6SC cars (and T4s) when I was fighting a noisy seat in my car. They are very close in performance from the n/a v8s of old. And much more tuner gains.

You may be able to get creative with the TCP kit and make parts of it to work. I built my own setup from scratch and that kit will be a good starting point.

Have fun with your new car.

 

Thats exactly why I went with the V6 S/C instead of the 5.0L

I think the torque gains and tuning options will make it a much more 'fun' car to have. I just couldn't do much of anything else to the N/A V8.

Now I will have a reason to get back on the forums !!!! lol

 

You may be in luck with the TCP intake.

I don't understand why you would think the 3 liter 6 cylinder could match torque with the 5 liter 8 cylinder. The V-8 spec is 380 lb.-ft. compared to the V-6 at either 332 or 339, depending on variant. That is a substantial difference that no tuner can make up outside the world of false promises. Note that hotter tuning of the SC V-6 produces a gain of 40 hp in the upgraded engine, but only 7 more lb.-ft. of torque. Further aftermarket tuning will undoubtedly get you near or over 400 in hp, but still almost certainly below 345 in torque, which is still roughly 10% less than the NA V-8.

 

I think it's more along the lines that the options for N/A engines are more limited than their super/turbo charged cousins. Same happened over in the Audi camp when the 4.2L V8 transitioned to the ubiquitous SC V6 3.0L everybody seems to be using as a V8 stand in.

 

holy ****...is that your new F Type?

Yes...I did everything that can be done to a N/A V8 short of messing with major engine work. I just think that with the available tunes and pulley upgrades I will be able to have a more customized car and get better enjoyment...I love my V8, but I also know that it is getting up there in miles and in age, so it's time to let it go. I can;t really say that I would be able to utilize all of the power from a newer S/C V8 even though those cars carry more prestige and give power bragging rights to their owners. My goals for this car are:

1. having a 'custom' aspect to it.
2. Being able to keep pace or outpull a IS350 or a C Class or a 335i.
3. The fact that it is NOT one of those cars is pretty cool.
4. I can take the leggy blond to the opera and scare people in the parking garage
with a freakish sound!!!
5. Have something newer to drive.

I hope to eventually move into a new XFR, but I can't take the new car depreciation hit right now and jumping into a new car every four years won't accomplish anything towards getting into that XFR

 

Yes it is. Heart signed the papers whilst head was looking the other way...took a hit on the XFR considering what I had invested in her recently (new tires, brakes, rotors etc) but sometimes you have to just say WTF...

 

:icon_ clapclap::icon_clapc lap:

 

MY guess, is that a tuned S/C v8 would blow away a tuned S/c v6....... just my guess. ive looked at the zero to 60 times un tuned between to v6 and v8 and they are not even in the same ball park im sure a more knowledgeable member will chime in but if i had a NA v8 and wanted something faster a S/C v6 i dont think is gonna do it imo

 

My tuned and pulleyed 5.0 V8 XFR was putting out 500WHP so the F-Type is probably slower but I've never had a coupe before and wanted to ditch the sensible rear seats ;-)

I've got the VelocityAP tune on the way though...

 

I went from a tuned XFR (XKR-S tune plus a few other tweaks) to a V6S F-Type, and yes the XFR is quicker and faster. But not much quicker 0-60, traction and wheelspin are still a problem. It's the mid-range and throttle response where the XFR kills the V6 F-type, at anything over 60 mph the XFR walks away from it and the instant "shove in the back" is much stronger.

 

same motor in the F, but i was referring to the op thats going from a NA v8 XF to a S/C v6 XF and i agree on the tuned v8 XF fastest car ive ever had.... thats not saying too much i know....but its pretty fast

 

Its obviously not going to go head to head with a V8 blown engine. But it's SUPERCHARGED !!! It will be my first !!!

 

WELL....tune it and enjoy
