IanP...
How about explaining what you are doing in these Photos? This looks pretty much like the Standard XKR SuperCharger to me...along with the same Inter-coolers that came on the XKR.....Where is the Twin-Screw S/C? Sorry, I don't understand what this is all about...Please explain as a bunch of us would like to have a Cost-effective Twin-Screw!
Thanks!

So the supercharger you can see is a kenn Bell twin screw it’s twice the size of a standard one. The intercoolers you can see have been modified to fit the Maxrace bypass valve which has been modified with a Y piece welded on. Which sits on a custom cast intake. Mounted to that is a bored out throttle body. That’s the headline elements there is other parts to make the 4.2 engine fit the 4.0l car.
this is a picture of the 4.0l engine, so the 4.2 will look the same once done.

Scubaguy,
I came down the same Road one Morning, in at that time my 2000 XKR Coupe that I had just bought in the NYC area. It was also Black/Black with Double 5's ....but I was going South toward Tennessee on my way back to Houston, Needless to say, I really enjoyed the trip and this area was just beautiful...To be Honest, I got tired of all the curves after about 50 miles and cut over to the Main Freeway.....Really pretty over there....

Gave my “new to me” XK8 a thorough cleaning this weekend. Still a few bits to tidy up, but the leather was filthy, the headliner was worse. $100 in Gliptone and Autoglym and there’s a big difference. The car had Mickey Mouse window tint, and that’s a thing of the past too (Grr!). Modern Gliptone doesn’t seem to smell the same as the older stuff. I’ve got some Zaino on order, see if that will give it a Connolly smell. The Gliptone’s FAR superior to the way it was, but not the same as my old XJ6, which had Connolly. This being a 2006, it’s Italian, not Connolly, so might be on a hiding to nothing ( ), but we’ll see. Either way, it’s a LOT cleaner than it was, living under a tree, as it did.
