V6 F-Type Performance Upgrades?
#61
Mine is getting its VAP quad exhaust next week, and I will get the VAP tune and pulley done at the same time (initially more for sound than power but 450hp does sound pretty good). I'm going to stick a "S" badge on the back (currently debadged) in case someone thinks I am trying to pretend it is an R.

Last week I told a (materialistic, status-conscious) friend that I'd de badged my v6s. He replied "Don't people usually do that so no one knows they only got the base model?". LOL

That said I wouldn't mind sticking a "450" badge on the **** end just to cause a few to scratch their heads, do some research and come up blank!
Edit - just found the perfect stick on badges on Fleabay, ordered!

Hey, easy there. My Aussie cousin I haven't seen in 50 years just visited with her husband. Both born in the land down under. Neither one was a criminal (unless they are escaping to USA to avoid capture).

Back on topic, another performance upgrade is the optional auxiliary radiator fitted on hot climates, thinking about installing it on my V6S.

In the second graphic part # 3 is the SC intercooler radiator and part # 4 (which lies horizontal not vertical) is the auxiliary (engine coolant) radiator fitted only to "hot climate" market F-Types. Engine cooling only, nothing to do with the SC.
Quote from the Workshop Manual: "The auxiliary radiator is connected in parallel with the (main) radiator to increase the engine cooling capacity on hot climate market vehicles."
I don't remember seeing this part on my F-Type, and on my travails through XF and XFR coolant systems I remember reading that in JLR speak "hot climate" means pretty much the Middle East and nowhere else and Oz is not considered "hot climate". Never mind that it often gets to 110 F plus where I am in Adelaide, go figure!

What you can see is more likely to be an auxiliary engine coolant radiator and not a turbo intercooler radiator.
Both of my XFs had an auxiliary engine coolant radiator in the same place.
My guess is the XE P300 four-potter turbo intercooler radiator is in the same place as the the F-Type SC intercooler radiator - smack in the middle in front of the main engine radiator.
