This upper pulley does look easy enough for a diy. The lower pulley is a different story though. 😳.

[@steventhornton4716]

It's also readily available on ebay the mini supercharger pulley works just fine it's about 50 quid

[@garykish8951]

This also makes a Big difference in the Supercharged 3 liter Jaguar V6. I only have experience with the smaller pulley that requires some light grinding in the snout. If you're going to got through all this work just get the smaller one. It only sounds scary. I used a freaking crappy hand drill with a cutting bit. It took longer to cut off the old pulley. The ecu mod makes a HUGE difference but you have to use a reputable company. $1,500-$1,800.

[@meme-ml6fc]

Great video, please can you tell where to get the pulley from needed desperatley.

[@nyplantingsgardendesigners5645]

I cannot even find where to buy this stuff! Thanks for the vid!

[@HJsGarage]

I can speak to my friend and find out where he purchased the bits?

[@kleetus92]

When do you think you will do the lower pulley? Did you do a remap after putting this pulley on, or did the car take it and make more power already? I imagine the remap would allow for more power since the blower bypass valve probably regulates to the factory boost levels regardless of blower output.

Hi Questions To remove that center bolt it looks like your going clockwise. Isnt removal counter clockwise? 2. A upgrade smaller pulley just slides on and permanently bonds Without using the center bolt? Meaning that bolt is only for the stock setup? Thanks for your support im new to this tune stuff.

I know it does My question I'm asking if I want an additional 4strips Instead of the footwell lights Can you swap the two? So I can have for my console instead of the foot

[@steventhornton4716]

That tool it pays to go buy longer bolts for the puller its self just grips easier

[@nrick6800]

Hi, great video. Was it the 10% or the 6% pulley ? Does the ECU needs to be reprogrammed ? I’m surprised there is no bolt to keep the new pulley in place. Could you tell me where to by it (sow ones in powerhouse.uk...) Thanks for your answers, and sorry for my English 😅

[@HJsGarage]

Thank you! I'm not sure but will find out, so my friend had the exhaust done on the car as well and had the ecu remapped and it ran a 625bhp at the flywheel, I will get the link for the pulley and add it to the description! You're welcome and your English is fine!

Thank you, It is much appreciated! As far as i am aware they are pretty reliable for the most part, but things that can go wrong are the following to my knowledge - Timing chain stretching - Supercharger coupler failing causing a rattle Apart from those points just the usual inspection, tyres, brakes, gear changes, service history etc

Thanks for the video! I have an 2011 XKR new 2 me and want to do the same thing. Is there a company that makes stage kits like, pulley, tune etc.? At what point do we need larger injectors or fuel pump booster? Would love to have just a bit more snap! Thanks

[@HJsGarage]

You're welcome! Im sorry i don't know of any companies that do that as a whole package unfortunately. I reckon you'll be beefing up the diff (as it is a weak point) and doing the crankshaft pulley upgrade and shorter belt and few other mods before you will need to do fuelling as far as i am aware.

The stock fuel system can handle more than you will need. U will start to have nock do to low octain before u need to upgrade the injectors or fuel system. U can even run a mix of upto 40% ethanol and still have the stock fuel system

Nicely done and presented. No "fluffy" mechanics language. May I just ask to turn the music down a bit? When you are concentrating on your voice then the music cuts in a bit loud, had to keep my finger on the volume button. It's a minor thing, but as someone already pointed out the lighting, I though I would add my bit. And yes I'm old! lol

Usually done in conjunction with the ECU remap, ends up at about 600bhp

[@garykish8951]

Oh it makes power. Get the smaller one and grind the nose down. It only sounds scary. I used a hand drill and a metal cutting bit. Maybe 30 minutes. I didn't have a pulley remover so I cut off the old one. Putting the new one on is the easiest part. Get a thermal gun and torch it up to the temp the directions say. It slides on like butter until it cools down. The smaller pulley offered by ebay.com/usr/powerhouse-uk made a very noticeable difference in the low-mid and upper rpm range. The ecu makes a bigger difference (if done correctly) but you should still do the pulley. Just because... Cheap, sound, power increase.

[@Nvable]

I dont own an XFR i have been looking at them recently. I want to do this but doesn't the heat affect the overall integrity of the pulley, i.e. make it weaker?

[@HJsGarage]

It is a good point and I see where you're coming from, however as the pulley is an interference fit without heating it up it would never fit nor achieve the interference fit and the pulley has a good weight to it and well built and is pretty thick, I very much doubt it would affect the integrity, also my friend has been running the pulley for some time now without any issues at all

[@Nvable]

@@HJsGarage thank you for your reply. This eases my mind if and when I come to this point. Great video.

[@DPW864]

Why did you move away from the cones, not running right?

[@HJsGarage]

It was running fine but because of how small the filters were and the positioning wasn't the best there was significant amount of heat soak obviously reducing power so decided to go back to the stock set up but with the K&N Panel filters instead

[@BanHaNetanel]

How do you replace the PCV valves without removing the supercharger?

[@krankinkogs]

No bud you've got to line it up more or less with the snout otherwise you'll have issues with the belt

[@adamhughes5860]

Hi great video. I am doing this job on my 2010 xfr tomorrow. I have bought the tool you use to get the pully off. What was the loud noise as you started pulling the pulley of the shaft? Anything I need to worry about? Cheers

[@HJsGarage]

@Adam Thanks bud, make sure that you've got the tool absolutely square on the pulley and its abit fiddly and make sure the two screws on the circular part are tight. The pulley is essentially an interference fit on the snout of the supercharger so its really tight on hence why the new pulley needs to be heated up to fit over and immediately cooled down. The noise was nothing to worry about just breaking the taper as its been on there for such a long period of time. As said above just very essential that the puller is on completely square on and the two bolts that keep the circle together are as tight as you can get it without damaging the tool etc. Also when fitting it back on mark the position of the old pulley so it goes the same distance on the snout. If you need any help/guidance, drop me a Instagram Message to @hjgarage I'll be more than happy to help!

[@adamhughes5860]

Just an update. The job went very well. The puller worked like a dream. Had to heat the pulley in the oven as I didn't have a blow torch. 350 degrees for 50 minutes and the pulley just slid on like a dream. Although before doing that I had to file some high points of aluminium of the snout of the supercharger as there wasn't enough clearance. But after that all is well.

[@HJsGarage]

Great news bud! Glad to hear it and glad the video helped aswell!

[@edgarhernandez8711]

Does anybody know if someone has changer the stock supercharger to a better one??

[@garykish8951]

On the 4.2 Supercharged Jaguar V8, only a handful of people following Andre (pioneer of this mod) have replaced the roots blower for the twin-screws (autorotor, Kenne Bell, Whipple). Look on Google or Jag forums and search under Andre- Kenne Bell Supercharged XKR. Massive power increase. Andre was putting out 700+ rear wheel dyno sheets but that was years ago. He might be much higher now as he can't stop himself. On the 5 liter Supercharged Jags, the TVS is already an incredible supercharger. Increase the boost and take off the ecu limiters from a reputable company. When Eaton releases a larger version it should match what the big twin-screws are giving as the TVS is a hybrid design between the roots and twin-screws. Spend some money on the ecu. It makes a huge difference in these motors as Jag really held back tons of power for emissions and mpg. As well as to have something exciting to sell by gradually raising the power in new special edition models they release every few years.

[@henrysiegertsz8204]

Great how to video, but, seriously disappointed not to hear that engine revving!

[@HJsGarage]

Haha we did rev it but I messed up the video on my end sorry!

[@stephenwhite5444]

Great video! I thought most of the upgrade pulleys have a smaller inside diameter inset on back and require grinding the s/c housing for them to fit.

[@garykish8951]

Depends on how much you want to increase the boost. I've gone with the smaller ones a was able to grind the nose down with only a power drill and a metal cutting bit. The right bit is the most important part. Powerhouse UK supplies the template. Very easy for the power increase which is extremely noticable throughout the curve. It's not only on the bottom of the curve like some say. It's everywhere.

[@stephenwhite5444]

@@garykish8951 with the smaller pulley that requires the nose grinding do you think it may over spin the supercharger? I was looking at a small one on Ebay by QualitySuperchargers that requires the nose grinding....but I started reading where the additional rpms pushes it out of its efficiency and generates a lot of extra intake heat. It doesnt seem to me like the smaller pulley would cause that....especially with a stock crank pulley. Wondering your thoughts on that. Also, how it the driveability? Is it as smooth as stock on and off throttle? I'm doing a pulley and green isolator at the same time. Just stock tuning for now.

[@kleetus92]

If you do the lower pulley, going to the ultra small top pulley may be too much, but just this one isn't too bad.
