Stuart, I'm interested in the tune + crank pulley kit for my 2014 V6 S, but I have two questions:
1. In the list above you say "Jaguar F-Type V6S Supercharged ECU Tune", does that include the oversize crank pulley or not?
2. Do you post to Australia, and if so can you give me a postage cost estimate?

 

This is a huge deal. Props to AP for making such a bargain available to the community.

 

I would like to take advantage of this offer, however, my car is in storage and we have a half foot of snow on the ground ... so I was planning to wait until spring ...
Anyway to delay this offier?
Lawrence

 

Oz, just buy the tune and pulley for the V8R. Everything is the same for both cars.

Why not just buy the pulley & tune now and have it ready for the car when you take it off ice in the spring?

+1.

 

Lance, are you sure the V8R tune is the same as the V6S tune? Doesn't seem right to me!
Or is it simply a case of buying the hand-held tuning kit regardless of whether it is described as the V8 or V6 version, uploading the stock tune to VAP, who then see it is the OEM V6S tune and fire back their V6 tune?
And is the V8 crank pulley, belt and tensioner exactly the same as the V6?

Edit - checking VAPs site it seems the V8R pulley and ECU kit is for the smaller upper pulley, but the V6 kit includes the crank pulley instead. Effectively a completely different kit.
My original question was based on the listing in the first post which seemed to suggest that the 40% off deal only applies to the V6 ECU tune without pulley and not to the kit of crank pulley + tune.
Here is the VAP page for the V6 pulley and tune kit: http://www.velocityap.com/Jaguar-Lan...pev6cptune.htm

 

1. Oz, sorry, my mistake. I thought you had the V8S. There is little doubt the V6 tune would be different than the V8, but the handheld device used to load the tune will be the same. The development costs for the V6 vs V8 tune might be different, so you'll need Stuart to respond regarding the Black Friday deal he can cut for the V6.
2. The crank pulley kit is the same for all the F-Types regardless of engine size.

 

Do you guys offer the lower pulley as well or just the upper one? I think I'll just change the lower pulley... don't want the headache I've been hearing of dealing with the upper.

 

Stuart - Thanks for starting my Black Friday shopping early. Order placed!

 

So sad, I ordered like a week too early. Just missed an amazing deal. :'(
Can I return and re-order? everything is still in the box :P

 

If you read the offer closely, it is the lower crankcase pulley that Stuart is offering.

 

So, for my V8S - can I opt for the V8R tune?

And how complex is the lower pulley install?

 

With the V6 Base ECU tune, any change in the exhaust note/ pops and crackles?
More prominent or about the same? No active exhaust on my base.

 

I'd love to order the base V6 ECU tune + crank pulley - would it be possible to make a deal for that?

Looking forward to hearing from you!

 

Everybody,
Since Stuart offered a Black Friday deal, he's probably in the shoppe today. Give him a call.

 

I had forgotten that the tune package provides a hand held, so I'm ordering now as applying the tune in the spring is not an issue.. So, I ordered the tune only at this point for a F type R. (2015)

Stuart:
On another thread, you mention that the R provides something like 13 psi of boost and the SVR around 15 psi (approx.) of boost as the R simply bleeds off the excess. I was curious if your tune increases the boost on the R by eliminating the bleed off, without adding a pulley.?
Lawrence.

 

Me Too, I have a V6 XE and want the handled and crank pulley as a package.

Hoping to go from that boring 11.6 psi to the SVR 15psi?

 

Why stop there? Go for the 19psi V6U (unhingd) tune. Stuart at VAP can make that happen for you.

 

Really dumb question, but I've never used a tune before.

A programming unit attaches to your ODB port and you upload the tune that way?
(can someone provide a video link that would show the process - or another thread?)

Say if I wanted a mild 91-92 octane tune and bought the 200 cell downpipe and it threw codes - is getting a 'fix' as easy as receiving an attachment via email and then putting the new tune on a SD card/uploading again?

When it is time to take the car in for service at the dealer do you re-load the factory tune back in?

I am sure there are many others that would consider getting a tune but they are as ignorant as I am about the process and are too meek to ask.

 

I understand it works like this:
1. VAP send you a hand-held programming machine that you plug into your OBD2 port with a supplied cable (OBD2 at one end, USB at the other end).
2. You download your existing tune file (ie the stock file in 99.9% of cases) to the machine.
3. You then connect the machine to your PC (presumably via a USB cable), copy the existing tune file to your PC, then send it as an email attachment to VAP.
4. VAP then read the file you have sent them, determine exactly what it is, and email back to you the correct tune file(s) (could be more than one, eg with and without modified upper and/or lower S/C pulley).
5. You then select the tune file you want and copy it to the machine.
6. Then you plug the machine back into the OBD2 port and download the selected tune file to the car.
7. Then drive the car for a few trips so the ECU fully adapts to the new tune.

Of course I am "educated guessing" here, YMMV!
