how to get more supercharger whine from your Jaguar XFR/XFR-S

- Reading through forums, I found out that replacing the stock intakes with cones will get you more supercharger whine...
Yes, I know my engine will heat-soak worse now but thats only during standstill - it should go away once I get moving and air comes through... and yes, I know I need to secure the intakes down....
For the pre-facelift engines, the MAF is part of the intake box so you have to get MAF adaptors - you can find these on eBay for cheap... The measurements are: 76mm flange, 49mm between the bolts for the MAF and a 26mm hole for the MAF (also need M4 bolts to bolt the MAF down to the adaptor).... I kept the bottom of the airbox in and the feed that goes from grill to box...
The cones are K&N RU-5111 (76mm flange and 143mm in length) but I would say you can fit larger cones in there...
I facelift'd my XFR so it has the pre-facelift engine...
The interior shots are with the door closed....
Hope this is useful for whoever's watching :)
Loved the sound of supercharger whine since my first supercharged car, an 02 Mini Cooper S when I was a teenager. Now that I'm an adult I have adult money to buy a Supercharged Jag, and an early-mid 2010s XFR is on the list of options!
Sounds sooo much better.
That sound is beautiful
Great stuff! Just got a 2010 xfr and would love more whine
Thinking about getting one with 125k miles was there anything to look out for that needed replacing when you got it?
@@aarongdukey not for me, but there are some electrical issues this model gets that you should be weary of
@@Crixxtachi868 thanks man I’m I’m lookin into Em now
@@Crixxtachi868 and damn as long as none of these issues are like the theft lock issue on my dad Cadillac. He has a nice SRX that he can’t even drive because the ecu locks the whole car up everytime he drives like 2 miles. I spent 1,500 of my own cash trying to fix it for him at the dealer and they sent it back twice saying it was good to go. It’s a lemon at this point
@@aarongdukey I've only had my xfr since July but it's been a perfect dream so far. Made me fall even more in love with Jaguar, to the point that I plan on upgrading to a 2016 ftype in the next five years
That extra noise is sexy! I've an XF R-S and rarely hear the whine, my OH's RangeRover 4.2 SC (ancient but great) sounds way better for whine. How did you go about the MAF side of things?
I used a universal adaptor to put the MAF in it's OEM position - link in the description
Hey brother Great Vid!
I ordered a spectre intake and MAF sensor adapter for my 2010 Autobiography. Should be here Jan 3rd.
Please tell me how your holding the intakes down? I will start making vids on my rover soon.
i reverted back to stock intakes with K&N panels to see if there is any performance difference
@@achu2691 why did u revert back to stock? Was it a heat issue or performance? I'm curious as I'm about to instal a new intake tube and cones with heat shields
@@thomas_Customz i noticed some heatsoak issues which would throw a code... also just by touch, i could see the cones were becoming very very hot...
@@achu2691...... did u have anything in place for heat shielding or just the bottom half of the box as u described in an earlier message?
@@thomas_Customz no heatshielding
Do you know if those would also work on a 2016 jagaur xj with the same 5.0l supercharged v8. And should I go for the same 76mm or bigger?
I'm pretty sure you don't need MAF adaptors for the facelift, the MAF isn't integrated to the intake box
Just subbed! I wanted to know if there are any cons to this car I plan to get one soon!
Fuel consumption lol but it's better than my previous M5... Also if you want to get a lot more power from the engine, there are some weaker components in the drivetrain...
@@achu2691 can you be more specific
@@bigmatt2896 i havent yet pushed anything to the limit but i believe the diff is only good for 750nm - but i'm not 100% on that number....
Rear tires....
It's really hard not to smoke them a bit when you're not trying.
I didn't think I was being that bad but I guess I was.
@@achu2691 There are plenting running 950nm
Yeah but you lose hp with the cone filters.
Yes, you loose arround 20hp with Hot air and hood close on dyno, but for sure this sound is so beautiful
Not sure what yall mean. Cold air intake and a smaller pully should be a 50hp gain
@@JeffMcDuffie72MeridianGate
Look on RUclips. You will see dyno tests that show cold air intakes don't work as well as the factory engineered systems.
@@kevinc4325 yeah ive heard that everywhere but i also heard if you install the cold air intake you have to remap the engine on a dyno. I got a jaguar xf supercharged and just recently straight piped it and will probably soon upgrade the upper supercharger pully. A cold air intake was on the list but i really dont have the extra cash for a professional dyno tune at the moment. Plus i got to save cash in case of a issue with them coolant lines.
@@JeffMcDuffie72MeridianGate the air cannot be cold with this air intake because if you want real cold air you need BMC with pipe or OEM but you loose again the sound so it's compromise, I loose few horse power on my Jag but for sure I love the supercharged sound, so many video on dyno on many different car it's not surprise anymore
Hi,
Could you please tell me how you facelifted your Jag? I know that i should change the hood, fenders, bumper and headlights but are the headlights plug and play or does it need some adjustments?
Yeah all those bits + the arch liners, they're different... The headlights have the same plug but the connections are all different so they need to be completely rewired and a resistor needs to be put in for the LED strip...
So, when you start the car for lets say the first 10 sec before you start to rev is where I am concerned for my jag and maybe yours.
I can hear the injectors firing off, which is ok, but theres another distinct noise that follows the rpms. Its like a bad pulley, or a belt tensioner or something... I have the same engine sound (non S/C though) and that sound gets more apparent when the car is colder, once it warms up properly it almost nearly goes away, but you can hear it on Idle faintly..
I'm not sure how to describe the sound.. its really apparent when it settles down a bit since the revs from the initial start are settling down and can be heard on 0:05 - 0:08... Its not a rattle,maybe sounds like pulley whine.. Or maybe its just the way these engines are..
WHERE AND WHY DOES IT MAKE THAT SOUND... :/
On the 5.0 engines that sound is usually caused by the slight slack in the timing chains due to less pressure from the tensioners. It builds pressure as the engine runs which is why it slowly goes away as the car warms up, not really an issue unless the tick turns more into a slapping noise as that's a sign of tensioner failure and you're getting too much slack and the chain is actually hitting the case. I had the same worry when I first got my XJ Supercharged and thought it had an issue; some digging brought me to the forums where they discussed the cause and that it's pretty normal especially if you have one of the earlier 5.0s without the revised tensioners
MAF Adapters the same for the 4.2l SC? Having a hard time finding info on this. Nothing seems to come up when searching for them.
Best way is to take them out and measure them, that's what I did
Did you find out
I have an xjr 5.0 SC and 640 horses and should I continue to pour 0w20 or 0w40 oil ? Thanks for your reply
I was using 5w20, if you're usually below freezing then go 0w20... I don't think 40 suitable for this engine
Also do I need to worry about water or anything?
Pretty hard to get waterlogged from that height
Hey bro so after installing this on my rover i got all sorts of codes and misfires. Did i maybe do something wrong? Everything was properly hooked up on my end.
Did you put the MAF sensors in the right way? They have directional arrows for the airflow
@@achu2691 Yes i had a shop install it for me, But to no avail 🤔. It was hella depressing" so i just went back to my normal airbox.
@@TrueBlueWR it definitely sounds like they installed the MAF sensors the wrong way
@@achu2691 Im stumped brother. I ordered K&N panel filters instead"
Tomorrow i will head back to Air X Racing to have them give it another shot. I will let them know what you told me.
Where did you get this custom made?
Adaptors are from eBay, see description for more info
Did it add horse power
no, it probably reduces HP from the heat soak lol
@@achu2691 Loses 30-40hp with the heat.
Thats the worse one ever its literally a hot air intake you need a box set up cold air intake
