Default XJS 1996 AJ16 Supercharged

Just saw that on YouTube.:

Is that reliable to do so, and what would be the cost for installing that unit?

Thanks in advance!

I don't know about the cost. A few guys in the UK have done it, particularly with the rare Getrag 290 manual gearbox that was available in the UK on that setup.

Reliability shouldn't be an issue as he's just taken the supercharged engine and GL480E gearbox out of an XJR-6.

Even with the autobox, it will have transformed the performance of the 4 litre XJS!

I expect the performance would be very similar to a 6.0 V12 car.
