am looking for Jag forums, for questions on modding the engine and ICE etc in a XKR V8. i have tried jaglovers.org but they cringe at the mention of daring to modify a jaguar lol! and it doesnt have many regular users. i am looking for somewhere thats a busy jag forum and doesnt have a purist approach ideally.

as for shops i've found jaguarxp.com which looks good, does anyone know any others? i looked at paramount but costs were huge.

What about a smaller pulley for the S/C? Computer remap? Exhaust could use some improvement, too. Maybe a better water heat exchanger for the intercooler? I've been looking into those XKR engines for some reason

Get away from my car you weazels! You're drooling on it!

Those Jag guys.... So up tight their butt cheeks squeek when they walk.

They get all upitty about the X-Type too. "Not a REAL Jaguar. I hope it goes out of production soon as I detest all the peasants runing about who think they're actually driving a Jaguar.".

Turds. Were it not for the X-Type, Jag might have gone under by now. It may yet...



Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

yep i was looking at the pulley/belt for sale on jaguarxp.com and it says its a bolt-on mod that gives 2psi increase, i just wondered if i would likely cause engine damage if i done this without a remap in case it made the engine run a bit lean.

i've also seen the various exhaust and intercooler systems and wondered if the cheaper ones are crap or whatever.

also wondered if theres any other stuff available for them like bigger throttle bodies, better maf, cams blah de blah.
