Jaguar S type 3.0 V6 - Adding a turbo??

[Breezie]

Hi all,

I have a Jaguar Stype 2000 3.0 V6 (Manual). I would like to add a turbo to this vehicle and and happy to admit I am unsure where to start!

Can anyone shed some light on this matter from choosing the correct turbo, avoiding engine knock, correct pressures so on and so forth.

What I do not want to do is ruin the engine, would be very interested if this can be done safely and correctly.

Thanks all.
Breezie.

As stated many times before you can't simply 'add' a turbo. It's a major job but there are folk here who will have the necessary knowledge to help you. You could well be close to five figures to do the job properly.

I am aware. I am happy to spend the money on this and am aware of the complexities involved. Any advice would be most appreciated.

Turbo'ing a naturally aspired engine will prob cost ££££'s.

as said it will cost a bit.
might work out cheaper to just fit the supercharged 4.2 engine

as the link T9 has put up itll mean needing to look at lowering the compression and possibly strengthening the block.
uprating the fuelling
sorting out all the plumbing
then the mapping
