WOW!! I was thinking the V6 had BALLS!! I live in Germany and here most of the modifications aren’t possible, but before I do anything I have to get one. I’m considering coming to the US and getting an V8 because they’re so much cheaper. Approximately 5K or 30k is 25.500 for what You paid. But here a V6 R costs 50K US!! That’s a 2018. V8 R costs 56K € or 66K US. Have a Broker in Philly the foot work for Me. Hopefully before September or the Virus restrictions change that I can get something inexpensive and good. Thanks for the information. You’ve opened my eyes to the other side of the V6.
@@brianhardaway9716 Glad you’re figuring out a great way to get the car you’ve been looking for. Hoping you find one you like for an awesome deal. Good luck!

They closed the hood vents because they was an issue with water getting in there and damaging the injectors. The newer versions they moved them slightly and have rubber drains underneath them that divert the water

@@Sals_Garage love the fact that you explained as well hard to find info on f types good work brotha. I just picked up a 17 f type r. Been thinking of making youtube vids on it for others since there isn't much info on these
@@pvmsupra9607 I appreciate that! Congrats on your F Type R! Looking forward to any videos you upload about it. You’re right, there isn’t much info on these cars.
Great video. Really like the supercharger wine mod, and the red seat belts look fantastic. You've got a great car there. Also like the Guinea pig too. Hello from the UK.
That would be really cool. Orange seatbelts sounds perfect for the Abarth. The customer service from safety restore is top notch. They received my seatbelts in the morning, re webbed them, and shipped them out same day in the afternoon.
You gave me some cool ideas…. I’m going with a burnt orange metallic wrap with black and mock carbon fiber accents with the wrap. That will be my first mod.
I just bought a ‘17 V8 F type R…. It’s hard for a woman to find competent trust worthy people to work on it. I love cars but don’t do my own work. So even though it’s $$ I got a couple really good warranties and I take it to the dealer. I love driving awesome cars and I just can’t say enough good things about the driving experience and instant power this car has. It’s a comfortable drive as well.
Totally agree. The F Type is a wonderful driving experience. If you’re not a DIY person, I would definitely stick with the warranty since it’s not an easy or cheap car to work on.
Awesome project Sal, quick question on the TCU tune, redline is raised to 7500 but if i look closely at your latest quartermile Dragy video, it shifts at around 6800 correct?
Thank you for the comment! That is correct. In S mode the shifts max out at around 6800 instead of the stock TCU shifting at around 6400 RPM. The F-Type gains max HP at high RPM so the more you can ride the powerband the better your results. If you manually shift with the paddles, you can rev all the way to 7500 rpm, but I had best results with the car shifting itself in S mode when engaging launch control.
Hi Sal, great video. Question on spacers, you installed 15mm, did you have to trim the OEM studs? I heard the tips that have no thread need to be cut, did you have to do this?
do you recommend the v6 motor over the v8, seems the v8 is over kill/too much power. my gut and maybe yourself wanted just more out of the v6 to keep is a nimble more balance car? i did read that the v6 motor design had some flaw. since its just 2 cyclinders chopped. maybe this bogus about v6. any of your thoughts appreciated. thanks mike
I like the V6 exhaust sound more. To me it sounds higher pitched and exotic vs the V8 which sounds similar to an American muscle car. With all the mods I did, it felt just as quick as a stock F type R. Obviously tuning the V8 will yield significantly higher performance, but we don't race or track the car so it would be too much for the streets. Good luck.
Thank you agreed. So you think there are no flaws with v6 motor reliability wise? and maybe info I saw was bogus. At 70k on your car, it’s sounds ivery strong and healthy. Thanks much for your time and great content
I like what you done to your jaguar F type I just purchased a 2018 jaguar F type 4 solar 2.0 I'm looking to upgrade the exhaust system what would you recommend I also like the brake system on your car send me a link to that
@@Sals_Garage appreciate it best believe I’m dropping likes on all these videos 🤝you think the spacers are fine for the convertible too? Think coupes a bit wider in the hips but it should be fine

Loved the video! Looking to get an F type soon and might do a few of these mods. One question, what was the app you used at 19:30? That tells you what is wrong with the car? I'd love to use whatever it is! Thanks

@@bhawk8279 I appreciate the comment! Yea the wiring for the factory light can be a bit tricky. There really isn’t a trick, it just requires a good bit of pulling force to separate them. I try to pull from the plastic connector instead of the wire to avoid tearing it.

Thanks! Yea I’m in Fremont. The crank pulley will not affect your ability to pass smog. It might be hard to find a shop to install it since it’s an aftermarket mod, so if you want, I can install it for cheap. Thanks and take care. Just make sure to buy the correct color crank pulley (black or silver). Check the current one you have.

I would recommend a Velocity AP tune. If you want more power, add the crank pulley from velocity AP. If you want even more, do the supercharger pulley and transmission tune from Velocity AP.

Thanks! I use Torque Pro app for android.
For the hood vents do you think it’s sketchy washing/ rain with them that open? My car didn’t come with the engine cover
Many washes later without any issues. They are OEM hood vents so I doubt Jaguar would make them if they had water damage issues.
question: since you have more power up on top, didnt you have to change the gap setting on the plugs? like slightly shorter?
Gap settings are unchanged and have not had issues. Check with your tuner to see which gap they recommend. 👍
