Harrop 2300 Supercharger

We have a upgraded blower available for our Supercharged Jaguars. Harrop 2300 TVS is a direct swap for factory. 20% larger than stock. You can use the factory belts, intercooler and pulley even so if your S/C needs replacing you can just upgrade instead of replace. Curious if anyone on this forum has already switched? More than power I am more interested in IAT being lower with less heat soak.

I have been investigating that the R2650 blower could be swapped for the 1900 we have and run it slower, which will result in a little more power, but more importantly half the heat input. This blower is 18% easier to turn than the 2300 and 15% larger. 25% more airflow. 4% more efficient and better sealing performance. I am hoping with the mods below we can get close to 800HP with close to ambient air IAT.

It's pretty bad when IAT's get that high the ECU pulled all the power out of the car. I was sitting in the pits of a racetrack when I really noticed it. The first runs was going about 82mph on the straight, the third run the heat soak was already 180+ degrees IAT and I only hit 60mph on the same track.

Car handles great, brakes were strong enough, the engine was great but the heat soak is an issue.

To combat this I have a plan to eliminate the source of the temps. I researched the problem extensively and found there are a few design flaws in this system. To fix:

-water-jet an ePTFE spacer to insulate the S/C off the block. Also have ports in spacer to add .
-Replace the 1900 TVS blower for a R2650 blower and turn it slower to make less heat in the IAT charge while still making more power than stock.
-Epoxy Aspen aerogel to the bottom of the Supercharger to keep motor heat from baking it.
-Divorce the engine coolant with the supercharger heat exchanger and run a separate insulated tank with this add Piedburg pump.
-Add a interchiller to the intercooler and insulate the lines and possibly ceramic coat the intercooler housing with bigger intercooler radiator.
-Add a Stagemeyer Venom Cooler to the S/C.
-Run a Prius electric compressor on the system for the interchiller to have its own compressor.
-Have a dual walled insulated made with ceramic coating and aspen aerogel inside the dual walls.
-Remove the stock intakes from over the radiator and find a different path side of the intake to the fender or straight through the hood with a dual .

I plan on recording the intake temps as I do each one. Most of these are inexpensive. Some like replacing the blower are very expensive. Most are in the middle. The results of having ambient air intake temps are worth HP but more importantly the heat soak will not be prevalent like it is now. The car makes plenty of power as long as it doesn't get hot. It would be awesome to do a HPDE session for 20+ min on a race track and not have any power pulled by the end of it with ambient IAT. I think that is more than achievable.

 

Old post was wondering where this all went?

 

VAP has a kit out?
They show the F-Type but the 5.0L engine is the same across the Jaguar product line. We have had several people installing these but I can't point to any threads at the moment.
