The XJR LOVES Cold Weather!

Finally got some cool temperatures down south and I had forgotten how much extra power the cold air brings to a blower motor.
Just a pleasure to feel it pull so hard at 40F!

i was just thinking this the other day. I havent had a car with forced induction in years, and i forgot what a profound difference it makes when the temperature drops. Its pretty fantastic.

It also makes a difference in my old XJR6 - it’s specialty is cold moist days. It has the Powerhouse lower drive pulley, 10% bigger, makes a real difference, as did a new Bosch electric intercooler water pump
