Hi Guys,

New F-type SVR arrived with me last week so I wanted to say Hi :D :D :D :D

Car is going in for Paint Correction and fully ceramic coating for 3 days at end of week.

I've just clocked it over 600 miles but once its done its 1000 miles I am considering the below Modifications anybody else around gone down this route or have any better options for me......I would greatly appreciate any advice

See below for what im thinking :?: :?: :?:


As discussed, please see below a break down below on what is involved in the kit, and the costings etc.

High performance air filters- These high performance air filters will help the car to breathe better. They are designed to increase horsepower and rate of acceleration and are able to be cleaned and re-used.
Upper supercharger pulley- This, smaller than stock, supercharger pulley will spin your Eaton supercharger faster, giving you improved throttle response and midrange power. This differs to other supercharger pulleys available on the market by being made of high grade stainless steel and does not require any belt changes.
Lower supercharger crank kit- This, larger than stock, lower crank kit comes with all relevant belts and fixings. This works brilliantly in tandem with the upper pulley, by spinning the Eaton supercharger even faster, aiding spool and increasing performance further. Please note that the lower crank kit shouldn’t be fitted on its own. Due to the increased air flow this produces, our custom ECU software is required to match fuelling and the chargecooler is required to aid cooling.
Uprated chargecooler- This unit is 33% thicker than the stock chargecooler. When we were doing our research and development for this kit, we found that 33% thicker than stock was optimum. Any thicker and the liquids in the intercooler lose their viscosity and performance is lost. This aids the car keep cool and is NEEDED when changing both pulleys.
Custom ECU remap- A custom, hand written map is produced for every single car that undertakes this transformation. Developed in-house, on our 3000 BHP dyno, this map is unavailable to any customers that aren’t having the full VIP conversion. We take into account all the modifications on the car when writing the map, and bring the whole package together. The remap has been described as “not subtle” and gives massively increased throttle response and mid-range power.
Custom sports cats- Handmade 200 cell sports cats that will increase throttle response, mid-range power and add volume and tone to the exhaust note.

The only piece of this I forgot to mention on the phone is the sports cats. They are very important in getting over the 650 BHP figure. The price of this kit is £6,822 and includes VAT, parts and labour.

I presume that you have seen this but on the off chance that you haven’t, here is the video of the car that had this exact kit fitted.

Only go with Velocity AP. Search jaguar forums (US site) and this one.

No other tuners are trusted as much and are as reliable.

Filters may not be as effective as they claim as most aftermarket filters are actual worse than stock with the nice addition that the wider mesh allows derbies to score the inside of your supercharger.

Again think hard and research your tuning company thoroughly.

I wouldn't fit the crank pulley if i was you, with the supercharger pulley the supercharger is pretty much maxed out.
Fitting the crank pulley will over spin it, filters do bugger all even an induction does nearly bugger all as tested by people on other forums.
A bigger charge cooler over here is pretty much a waste of time especially up t'north, if you lived in america i'd understand but it doesn't really get hot enough over here.
Just my 2 penneth worth.

As above - steer clear of K&N or similar. Just a good way to mess up your motor with grit passing through. Just change the oem air filter frequently to keep it breathing

As an observation you do sound to have bought the spiel of every performance company in the market

Agree air filters gain will be marginal but doubt they will do any harm tbh
Chargecooler i would agree wld be essential
Both pulleys wld be spectacular but wld still possibly cause heat soak of the chargecooler if used hard but if anyone is trying to use a 650bhp car hard on the road for any length of time then they deserve to loose their license
I think viezu can be trusted as much as any tuner but i have found velocity ap to be very knowledgable
I say go for it but add some colder range plugs as well
You may also consider a killer chiller from kincaid perfirmance as this will 100 per cent eliminate any heat soak
A double pulley swap will give blistering performance and heatsoak will be ur biggest issue and might be worth raising with ur tuner

Another one to confided is that the Velocity AP dealer in the UK also prepares the GT4 race F Types.

Food for thought.

That is a very good package price it depends if velocity cld match that price
The upper pulley and cats and remap is 2600
A chargecooler 1200 plus fitting
Crank pulley and plugs circa 2k
I dont think david appleby wld move much on pricing

No pics of your new toy?

Edit - Just seen a couple on the main forum! Very nice! I have a glacier white R AWD with the black roof, black wheels and black pack. The colour combination and contrast is great!
