From the supercharged 5.0L V8 AJ34S to the high-performance variants, we address specific XKR-S concerns including supercharger bearing failures, oil pump issues, and timing chain problems unique to this high-performance model. Whether you need a replacement due to specific supercharger bearing failures in the AJ34S XKR-S or oil pump issues, Engine Finders makes it easy to locate the right engine, fast.
Our specialists specifically address the unique supercharger bearing wear pattern in XKR-S models, installing reinforced bearings that prevent the catastrophic failure common to this high-boost application.
The XKR-S oil pump differs from standard XK models due to increased pressure demands from the supercharger system, requiring specific high-flow components for optimal performance.
The XKR-S timing system experiences higher stress due to increased redline and boost pressure, requiring reinforced chains and guides compared to standard XK models.
The XKR-S intercooler system requires specific high-pressure rated components that differ from standard XK models due to the increased boost pressure of 15 PSI.
The XKR-S fuel system operates at higher pressures than standard XK models, requiring specific fuel pumps and pressure regulators for optimal performance.
The XKR-S cooling system requires larger radiators and high-flow water pumps compared to standard XK models due to increased heat generation from supercharging.
The XKR-S ECU has different boost mapping and ignition timing compared to standard XK models, requiring specific programming for optimal performance.

Finding a Jaguar XKR-S replacement engine requires specialist knowledge of the supercharged 5.0L V8 powerplant. Whether you need a replacement due to supercharger bearing failures in the AJ133G2 or timing chain issues in the high-performance XKR-S engine, our network provides genuine solutions.
The Jaguar XKR-S (X150 chassis, 2012-2014) represents the pinnacle of Jaguar's supercharged V8 performance, featuring the AJ133G2 5.0L V8 engine producing 550hp. This high-performance variant of the XK platform was specifically engineered for maximum output, with unique engine management calibration and reinforced internals. The XKR-S's supercharged AJ133G2 is prone to specific issues including supercharger bearing wear, timing chain tensioner failure (OEM part 1764312010), and oil consumption problems due to the extreme operating conditions. Jaguar Service Bulletin SWE-18-01 addresses some of these concerns, particularly the supercharger bearing failures that commonly affect XKR-S models from 2012-2014. Unlike standard XK models, the XKR-S's engine was tuned for maximum performance, leading to different wear patterns and component failure rates.
The XKR-S utilizes several high-performance V8 engine variants, each with specific characteristics and common failure points unique to the supercharged application. These engines were specifically calibrated for the XKR-S's performance requirements.
All XKR-S engines (X150 chassis, 2012-2014) share the common challenge of extreme operating conditions that accelerate component wear compared to standard Jaguar models. The supercharged nature of these engines creates unique failure patterns specific to the XKR-S's performance focus.
For Jaguar XKR-S owners, engine options include used, reconditioned, rebuilt, and remanufactured units, each offering different benefits for the supercharged V8 powerplant. Given the XKR-S's specific performance demands and common supercharger issues, we recommend remanufactured engines for optimal reliability.
For XKR-S with AJ133G2 engines, we strongly recommend remanufactured units due to the supercharger bearing and timing chain tensioner failures common in these high-performance engines.
Our XKR-S reconditioned engines include comprehensive component replacement addressing the specific failure patterns of supercharged V8 engines. Each unit undergoes extensive restoration to address the unique demands of the XKR-S powerplant.
Each XKR-S engine is bench-tested for power output and supercharger performance before dispatch, ensuring compatibility with the XKR-S's demanding performance requirements.
All reconditioned and rebuilt XKR-S engines come with a comprehensive 12-month warranty covering the supercharged V8 powerplant. This warranty specifically addresses the unique performance demands of the XKR-S engine.

When your engine fails, Jaguar XKR-S engine works can restore performance at a fraction of the cost of a brand-new engine. From diagnostics to rebuild, here's how experts ensure optimal results.
Experts carefully dismantle the AJ34S engine, documenting supercharger condition and checking for internal damage. Special attention to timing chain wear and oil pump integrity specific to XKR-S high-boost operation.
Each component undergoes pressure testing and measurement. Supercharger internals checked for bearing wear, while timing components measured against Jaguar specifications for XKR-S application with high-RPM demands.
Cylinder heads and block undergo precision machining using Jaguar-specific tolerances. For XKR-S engines, bore and surface finish requirements are tighter due to supercharger stress and high compression demands.
Worn components replaced with upgraded parts including supercharger bearings (OEM LR015434) and reinforced timing chains (OEM LR016036) specifically for XKR-S high-boost operation and stress patterns.
Engine assembled using Jaguar-recommended torque specifications with thread-locking compounds. XKR-S specific torque values applied to supercharger mounting points and oil pump housing for optimal performance.
Completed engine undergoes dyno testing with simulated XKR-S driving conditions. Supercharger boost pressure verified and timing checked against XKR-S specific ECU mapping to ensure proper performance.
