Jaguar XFR Monster Remap by Viezu Tuning (Top Supercharger Pulley Upgrade)

After a supercharger pulley upgrade, I needed a remap to get the full benefit from it. I chose to use Viezu after hearing a lot of good things about them on the Jag pages. I’m so glad I went there, their service was fantastic from start to finish and they really know their stuff when it comes to Jaguar tuning as well as other high end sports cars. This is no back alley set up, they are the headquarters of thousands of franchised tuning venders around the world that use this hub to code the maps.

I read somewere change lubricants in the supercharger, rear differential, oil and coolant. I've seen 675 horsepower and close to the sane in nutemeters of torque. I know they have changed intakes, exhausts and added radiators for additional cooling. There is a massive learning curve on these cars. I mean in 2009 the group Rocket ran an XF at 225 miles an hr on the Utah salt flats. It's on KZbin . Good luck with your endeavors. I'm keeping the XF for family but heading for an 2018 f type R

I have a xkr 5.0 with upper pulley and high flow filters . What kind of power do you think I could get with a tune .

[@69racer69]

Depends on what pulley reduction you have, should be around the 600bhp mark with a Viezu tune, I’ve seen others get 560-580 with the off the shelf tunes. I would definitely recommend going to Viezu or one of their partner tuning stations and make sure you get the Viezu tune. They have always done their best on my car and other jag friends of mine. Very happy with the tune and it has been very reliable too.

[@struppi0815]

Hello I also drive a 2010 Jaguar XFR and it's really a very nice car with character. I wanted to ask you how to activate the test stand mode on this car. I also have a small pulley on the compressor and I still have to go to the tuner for the software.

[@69racer69]

What do you mean by the test stand mode? Yeah you need that software to unlock any gain from the pulley, the software limits the torque so stops the gains 😫

@@69racer69 The car is put in an extra mode when it is on the test bench because otherwise it cannot drive. Otherwise it thinks that you drive on the spot. Or you need a 4X4 test bench.

[@edgarhernandez8711]

Very nice sounds great, have you ever wonder on upgrading the supercharger, like whipple?

[@69racer69]

I’m contemplating on changing the lower pulley to get the supercharger revs up higher. I haven’t wanted to change the supercharger for a different one no. I think taking the Eaton charger up to the 18,000 rpm rage that it’s rated for will be good enough. It’s only 14,000 as standard, and 15,000 with the top pulley change, so 15k to 18k is a good jump. Don’t want to over stress any other parts, would end up needing to change so many other things if it was taken any further. What are your thoughts Edgar?

[@69racer69]

That’s the figure most of us have been close to or achieving. Some may get a little less. I would make sure you load the car up with weight because you may get some tyre slip. Take a look at my gearbox tune video and see the 2 guys cars on the dyno that day.

[@GaryTaylorvw]

Hi mate, do you know what the oil temp is running at after the remap and mods?

[@69racer69]

I can plug in my OBD and find out, but I wouldn’t have the before and after to compare. Plus I use different oil now, so that may also have an effect.

[@cbrboy76]

Has the upgrade made any noticable day to day driving changes. Also with the extra power and torque being made, does any mods need doing to the gearbox?

[@69racer69]

The day to day driving is the biggest improvement I think. In this weather I haven’t been able to floor it, so all the driving has been day to day, and it feels SO!!!! Much better. I will do a video about how the car feels and the difference it has made now it’s been a week. The gearbox doesn’t need a mod no. You can get the boxes mapped and that will sharpen it up even more than it is if you want it. The Jag box is so fast anyway I think you only need the box map if you’re really into playing

[@cbrboy76]

@@69racer69 thanks, will look foward to that video. I was just interested about the gearbox as i was'nt sure if the extra power and torque would create reliability issues. Lol due to lockdown i hav'nt realy had a chance to let her stretch her legs yet, work and back mainly. i am planning on enjoying some track days next year so was mulling over wether to have her remapped or wether 500bhp was enough!!!!

Hey dude, mine is a petrol, they don’t have a dpf/egr. All the dpf’s seem to be causing issues because people don’t drive the lengths needed to clear them out. Drive at 60-70mph for 20mins and it’ll start clearing. Need to do it at least once every tank of fuel I would say, if not more. Try that and hopefully you won’t need to spend any money.

It’s a safe map, developed and tested for a long time. Of course it will add extra stress at extreme times, but how often are you red lining the car? The rest of the time it is actually safer then a standard map because it fuels the car properly and will reduce unburnt fuel bore washing the cylinders, so this will lengthen the life of the oil and lessen the wear on the internals.
