Ditto to 1320racer...If maintaining an Eaton blower, a method maintaining low air intake temps. is critical. The "Killer Chiller ($650), NOS ($400), or methyl alcohol is the way to go to both maintain and create power. A twin screw STR with hi-flow cats, x-pipe, and mufflers could deliver 600+ chp and trq. without an ECU tune.

 

 

awesome stuff

 

Jasus! Looks like 700 hp even when not running.

 

Looks good so far, how do you get the air from the supercharger to the engine? I also don't see any intake system. When do you expect to have it up & running?

 

I see you're getting closer.

If your customer would allow, it would be wonderful to have an Open House to highlight this major build. Many would love to see and hear the completed build. You could have dyno runs at "X" AM and 1/4 mile runs at "Y" PM on "Z" date.

Honesty though, not many would be willing to spend the big money for this extensive of a project but would pay good money for bolt-on power adders like a new supercharger (and the required parts to complete the install) along with a limited slip rear.

I am looking for the best new supercharger option to use without requiring a change of the stock injectors and fuel pump etc.. Maybe it is the 2.6 KB, 2.3 Whipple or 2.3 TVS? I just don't know yet? I have already been doing some research/reading to determine which new SC gets the most hp/trq bang for he buck while not requiring too extreme of mounting modification to fit our 4.2 "R" cars (S Type-R, XJR, XKR) intake system. Unfortunately, all seem to require extensive part development to mount.

 

That looks like beautiful - like a proper racing motor done with an unlimited budget! Who made the strut bar?

 

That's a shop light haha

 

Whoops haha you are right. I didn't notice it was floating and not connected to anything haha. I thought for a faint second there that someone was actually making commercial performance parts for Jaguars lol. Wishful thinking...

 

Dear BIP, All we want for Chanukah, Christmas, Kwanza, and Ramadan, etc., is an adaptor kit to fit a twin screw on our S-Type R's (4.2 s/c). Thank you.

 

I Agree 101% Pretty Please??????

 

LOL! Doc, how'd ya get those letters so big? If that don't catch B.I.P's attention....

 

Its ALIVE

 

Awesome Craig! Can you make a video with sound? Can you make an intake manifold adaptor plate to fit a twin screw on the STR's 4.2?

 

Yes, can you??? Would you???? Pretty Please?????

 

Yeah, come on Craig.

 

Just curious, Whatever Happened?

 

And headers!!!

 

No-one would fit the headers that were touted around. Much asked-for, never stepped-up for.

Generally people want gain without pain. That is, without spending time or money.

Ain't gonna happen.

 

The project was abandoned when they were unable to sort out the engine management. I know the car was sold to Buckhead, but nothing else.
