Just wanted to get a few opinions from most of you guys......especially Quick. A very good friend of mine was just hit by a drunk driver head on in his Jaguar S-Type R and is willing to give me his supercharger that is 100% functional. I was wondering if this SC can be utilized on my LSE? Any info would be great. Thanks in advanced ladies and gents.
 
My guess is that it would be a hard install b/c you would also need the computer, fuel rails, etc not to mention that. the pulleys may not line up correctly. If the engine isnt damaged it would probably be just as easy to do and engine swap wich would be cool :cool: . In the long run you would have to modify alot more than you think you would.

I think it was attempted, but was never done. I'd still take that supercharger though, if I was you, just in case there was a way.
 
hey maybe it will work on my continental lol doesnt the jag have a simular engine... lol wishful thinking
 
Correct.

The Jag uses a very nice setup - with twin water cooled intercoolers and an M112 Eaton. The parts cost about $7K new - we looked at it first, but too costly for a kit and trouble fitting under the hood - and the intake needed to be relocated.... which I felt was not an option.

You will have to go through most of what I did to make it work - custom manifold, cooling re-routing, belt routing bracket, upgrading the fuel injectors, figuring out how to route the cooling lines into the intercoolers, adding a MAP/boost sensor, ...etc

then you'll have no idea what boost it will make until you try it. Then tuning, tuning, tuning.

With that said - anything is possible with time and money.....

I learned a lot about the LS that I never would have without the SC project, and had an excuse to purchase a ton of new tools, bits and pieces...

If your LS is your daily driver - be warned it will sit in the garageall apart for a while....

Well my initial plan was to spend about $5-6K supercharging my car but I figured that getting a free SC would cut down on the cost. Do you think that that kind of money can get it done??
 
Well - I've bought three complete T-Bird SC setups off e-bay for less than $300 each, add another $60 in parts to rebuild the snout bearings and coupler.....

so you'll still have to do everything else....
 
I'm polishing one up for me....

the other two are for the next kits.

you know anything's possible with all the work, but you and your buddy might be better off just selling the parts and starting the way Quick did since he's got somewhat of start. good luck, keep us updated

Which is WAAAY more than we'd like for a forced induction engine. But it's what we have to work with. That's why Quik has been very conservative with his boost and tuned,tuned tuned, tuned....and then tuned some more...
 
quick you are out of your mind telling him you got a complete kit from an sc on ebay for less than three hundred. i cant believe youd lie like that and if your serious then you were lied to about it being a complete kit. and before you start to talk :q:q:q:q back to me look at my photo gallery i got one of the "complete kits" for 650 and it cost an additional 1300 to complete the kit. less then three hundred you must have only bought the supercharger and intake because theres alot mor eto it. i know because before i bought one i checked ebay twice a day for 2 years looking for a good kit. so im not talking :q:q:q:q but dont say you got complete kits when for a fact i know is a lie. if so ill buy all three from you for 350 you make a lil extra money and i get 3 "complete kits". also building the supercharger kit using a m112 would not be that hard. me and a company "remaining annonymous to everyone" are going to be working on a jaguar eaton m112 kit on my 01 ls. dont know how long to create but shouldnt take that long since i have already built a few customn supercharger kits using the eatons. but quick im not calling you a liar but dont say what a t bird sc kit goes for expecially when you have people that know the truth
 
Read what I said:

"You will have to go through most of what I did to make it work - custom manifold, cooling re-routing, belt routing bracket, upgrading the fuel injectors, figuring out how to route the cooling lines into the intercoolers, adding a MAP/boost sensor, ...etc"

Again - my point was that the only thing usuable is likely the supercharger off the Jag itself.

Since my kit is using the T-Bird SC setup (supercharger, inlet plenum, output plenum, bypass valve, even the throttle body) a lot of the kit is already done - so you can buy those pieces off e-bay and the aftermarket - that was the whole point.

and I was able to purchase those items for under $300:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=260029558303&ih=016

and I rebuilt the snouts myself for just under $60 a piece.


I don't understand your quickness to start calling people liars.... I have posted every painful step (both forward and backwards) on my project and shared everything I have learned about the LS in the process - the tone of your post is un-called for.
