Sure does!

I can vouch for this product! I have driven spiritedly 25,000miles since getting a pulley, tune, and cats and the car has performed flawlessly! Last time I dynoed my car I had my old blower with a worn torsion isolator and I put down 490whp on a dynojet. I'm sure I'm running over 500whp now on the XJL SC. Best thing is I go in for service at the dealer and it's all gravy because it's pretty much undetectable by mechanics. Velocity APs customer service is top notch with Chris for tuning support and Stuart for product inquiries! Awesome job guys! Now let's see if I can get into the 11s at the strip! I need traction!

Good to know! I am considering that for my 2014 XJR.

I am really impressed that you have been driving it for 25K miles that means a lot for long term durability.

On these we are seeing around 620/625BHP with pulley & tune. It will feel like you swapped in a bigger engine.
Question for you on the tune:
1. Are the HP numbers going to be the same between a 2014 XJL Supercharged and a 2014 XJR after pulley and tune? Is the ECU the major difference in making more power?
2. It sounds like you are able to get more HP from the 2016 ECU?
3. Any stock dyno numbers from 2014 up XJR?


Thanks,

Hi,

Yes, the final figures would be the same on both models, there's not physical differences between the engines.

Yes, the 2014-on cars switch from Denso to Bosch and we are able to get a little more power from them.

No dyno numbers from the later XJR, but we have lots in the FType section on our website, showing around 40WHP gains with tuning (from the 550BHP Base) and 56WHP with upper pulley and tune. All these JLR 5.0 Supercharged engines are the same, just different levels of software limitation so if we tune an XJ or a V8S FType, they still hit the same final numbers as if we started with an FType SVR.

Stuart;
My 2013 Supersport has Bosch not Denso. I believe that that is the year that Jaguar changed to Bosch along with many other changes made to the XJ in that model year as the first 3rd year refresh.

The ECU Tune will get you to 416BHP, addition of a crank pulley (bolt-on) will get you to 450BHP.

You are saying I will get 450 dyno'd bhp on my 2014 XJL 3.0 AWD with the tune and new crank pulley?

The Pulley is listed as $1000 plus on your site. Am I looking at the wrong part?

Should see that, +/- 1 or 2. We recorded 453 with 60.5mm upper and crank pulley on our software with this engine. The upper at that size only makes 0.75lbs of boost so it's only worth a couple HP. Especially since the combination of the two is pushing past the upper limit of the blower's efficiency range so it's more than likely not making more peak HP, just shifting torque lower in the RPM range.

There are 2 pulleys. The upper pulley is $200. It makes 1.5lbs of boost and is about a 4 hour install. The lower pulley is $1095 with new belt + idler pulley and it makes 3.5lbs of boost, installs in about 1.5 hours.

I only see the lower pulley for the 5.0L in the F Type?
Can that also be used on a 2014 XJR?

Thinking a lower pulley and tune would be the way to go as the upper pulley seems to add very little boost?

What is the price for this combo?

This is the crank pulley that fits V8 and V6 engines:
Jaguar F-Type V6 & V8 Supercharger Crank Pulley

Although this says Denso, just order this one. The programmers get sent out configured for all JLR options anyway so you'll end up with the same thing. We'll work on getting the website set up to reflect all the options.

Good to know and thanks for the quick reply. Car is brand new to me so it will be a while before I will get to the tune.

Can't even find a service manual yet!

Hey Stuart,
I just added a Mina Gallery Intake Tube to my setup. Will my tune file adapt to the new part? It is just the tubing after the MAF sensor. What do you u think?

Plenty of other vehicles have had crank pulley + tune from VAP. Just wondering, whom from the x351 family other than those who have already posted have had this mod performed? Any results or DIY lessons learned?

I've been running the VAP tune with Mina upper pulley and Eurotoys lower pulley for a year now. The crank pulley installation is pretty simple and straightforward, no tricks to it. It took about an hour or so. Installation of the tune is even simpler!
