Hello, I want to recursively tar the files that are bigger than 100M in a directory and delete the original files. Can any one give me a hint how to do it?

Maximum compression with bzip2: find /dir -type f -size +100M|tar cjvf /tmp/file.tar.bz2 -T -

If you have GNU find, xargs and tar, you can do something like
find /srcdir -type f -size +100M -print0 | xargs -r0 \ tar --remove-files -cSjvf tarfile.tbz2
I suggest you try first without the "--remove-files" option.

I was not clear in the original post, Can I have a separate tarball for each file?

Can I have the individual files tarred to separate tarballs in the same directory as the original ones?

wait: you want to make tar archivea with one file? Or do you just want to compress large files in your directory tree?
