Jaguar XKR-S Engines for Sale | Engine Finders

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.

Jaguar XKR-S Replacement Engines

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.

Jaguar XKR-S Models & Engines Codes

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.

  • AJ133G2: 5.0L supercharged V8 (2012-2014) - Known for supercharger bearing failure and timing chain issues in XKR-S applications
  • AJ133: 5.0L supercharged V8 (2012-2014) - Features unique ECU tuning for XKR-S's 550hp output
  • AJ126: 5.0L V8 (2012-2014) - High-performance variant with reinforced internals for XKR-S demands
  • AJ27: 4.2L supercharged V8 (2012-2014) - Earlier supercharged engine with timing chain tensioner concerns in XKR-S
  • AJ30: 4.2L supercharged V8 (2012-2014) - Supercharger bearing wear common in high-mileage XKR-S models
  • AJ25: 4.2L V8 (2012-2014) - Performance-tuned engine with specific oil management requirements for XKR-S

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.

Buy Used and Second-Hand Jaguar XKR-S Engines

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.

  • Used XKR-S engines - Original mileage units with no warranty, suitable for budget-conscious buyers
  • Reconditioned XKR-S engines - Previously used blocks with new internals, addressing common supercharger and timing chain issues
  • Rebuilt XKR-S engines - Comprehensive restoration with updated components for known failure points
  • Remanufactured XKR-S engines - Factory-level restoration with all new components and updated designs

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.
