Hello there, did't see any topic about turbochargers in x-type...so i create one new tread

And here is questions for those who loves and like to upgrade x-type Did anyone tried to upgrade by adding turbocharger to x-type sport 2.0gasoline v6? did anyone has any info about that? about this idea all "yes" and all "no" be intresting to read..

 

There isn't a thread dedicated to turbos, but there are many threads discussing how to upgrade the X-Type to get more HP. Turbos/superchargers are discussed in those threads.

And unfortunately, the X-Type isn't very mod friendly, for multiple reasons. If you feel brave enough to try it anyway, good luck and let us know how it goes for you :-)

By the way, I'm guessing you mean you have a 2.0 Diesel? I've never heard of a 2.0 Gasoline. Unless that was a typo and you really meant 3.0 Gasoline.

 

one of my freinds parents got a 2.2l gasoline

 

I was referring to the X-Type, not just any car. Or are you saying that your friends's parents have a 2.2L Gasoline X-Type?

 

yeah i talking about eh x type, it comes in a 2.2/2.0l v6, gasoline, i know i was amazed too, when i was talking to my freinds parents they said it was 2.2l gasoline engine, i asked them if they were sure it wasn't diesel.

 

yes there is a 2.0l gasolin but it's not AWD it's FF 156 hp

0 to 100 in 10 sec .max speed 201km/h.

elniasg if u know any thing about adding a turbocharge on x-type let me know i have 2.5 x-type.

 

hey.. first about model this model is "x-type sport".engine is 2.09gasoline. 117kw 100km/9.5s. front wheels drive
about turbocharger i found one but dont know is this for sure:
http://www.dieselevante.it/info.asp?id=6994
so actualy i thing best is to search something thats fits to ford mondeo, cause lot's of parts fits.

anyway as i understand no one has "x-type sport"

p.s. and what you think about thing like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=150346978285

 

I had no idea there was a 2.0L version of the X-Type. I knew about the FWD version, although I had never actually seen one, but I had no idea it was using a 2.0L V6 engine. Speaking of which, you'd expect a 2.0L Gasoline engine to be 4 cynlinders, not 6. That's one small V6!

As for the transfer case being a weak link, if that X-Type is indeed FWD, I'd guess that there is no transfer case to be worried with in the first place?

 

yeah, i'd like to have a turbo, but rather not risk it with the transfer case

 

that's interesting thing.. i found info about superchargers for jaguar x-type they say that's very big risk. and you guys with advices... thank you all for info.. i think for a wile I'll stay with default configuration.. ..but what's intreting in autoservis they say that's no problem to find and conect turbocharger. and i'ts no risk.. just ne to be a pro to do it.

 

You may have different results than us because obviously your FWD powertain has to be different than ours.

But for the AWD version, it has been said repeatedly that there is :

1. not enough room under the hood, so you'll have to relocate some components in the trunk like racerx did
2. too much risk to break the weak powertain
3. not enough info for DIYers, and pretty much no third-party components to help because of the X-Type's lack of popularity ; in other words, you're pretty much on your own

I know nothing about the FWD version and the 2.0L engine, but perhaps in your case to get more HP you could replace the engine with the 2.5L, or even better the 3.0L?

 

i wish i had the 3 liter, this guy in town, i saw a ls crammed under the hood, it was crazy, he pulled up, black on black on black, and he had a big chrome blower, and hes like wanna race, im like no thanx, how much horse power, and it was like 450 - 500, and, he said he had to gut a smashed corvette, and take te whole power train out.

 

what about exaust system? how many horses can get thru that? and is there any special exaus for jaguar, or need to find somenthing that fits?

 

Man, I would love to see pictures of that blown X. Disco, if you ever run into that guy again you have to get pictures. From your description he must be running it rear wheel drive now. That must have been one motivated X fan! Although that sounds really cool to do I think it would be even better if someone would do those sorts of mods and keep the awd. I always wondered what that would take. Like someone taking an Audi S4 drive train and shoehorning it into the X. Can only imagine what that would involve if it would even be feasible. Way above any level expertise/money/motivation I would ever have, but would love to live vicariously through someone that would do that. I would volunteer mine to Overhaulin' for something like that!

 

yeah the exhaust on these cars is really resrictive, and borla offeres a kit for these cars, it sounds relly good too. O yeah, it was rear whel drive, and man, when that thing pulled up it made the nizest sound oever, it sounded like a v12, And he said he still had the stock exhaust on it ( or parts of it), it probally took him a while, he said the police don't like it ethier, he always get complaints of niose and muffler sounds. But yeah if i see him again ill get some pics. I would love to do that to my car, but i barley now how to do some regular stuff.

 

uUu good info i was checked Borla catalog, but i find out exaust just for 2.5 and 3ltr v6... but i have 2.0... intresting is there is way to check some how did that exaust fits or not?
and there is question: i have only one exaust back box in left side(it's normal fot 2.0ltr engine).But can i double it like 2.5ltr and 3.0ltr has ?

 

yes u can it's very easy
u can buy the 2.5 or the 3.0 exaust system and it well fit
but the only defrint between the 2.5+3.5 & ur car(2.0) is in the rear bumber there is two curvs for the two exaust
but in ur car it's hidden.

(sorry for the bad speling my inglish is not that good )

 

yes, i now about bumper, and it's easy to change that very end off bumper, cause it's black plastic added, i already found one from 2.5 .
