Re: Cobra kit kar: Powered by Jaguar V12

i love the raspy sound the jag engines have too! Thanks! Getting a good sound for the Cobra was my biggest fear about the whole project. The car now has the exhaust system I wanted and the sound is indeed "most acceptable". Quiet at idle but with a distinct non-V8, non-V6, non-4cyl sound,...

Re: 1984 Jaguar XJS V12 5.3L HE (11.5:1 CR)

I hadn't considered that the default MAT correction might be too aggressive, since it's still breathing hot air from in front of the radiator and the weather's been fairly consistent I hadn't noticed much of a deviation when tuning the VE tables. I'll look into that before I try to route cold air i...

Re: 1984 Jaguar XJS V12 5.3L HE (11.5:1 CR)

Where do you have your ECU mounted, in the original location? I was concerned that using MAP based AE would be defeated by the long vacuum pipe running to the stock ECU which is mostly why I want to move the MS-II to the front. I'll try playing with it and report back with the results. I've got my ...

Re: 1984 Jaguar XJS V12 5.3L HE (11.5:1 CR)

Time to trim the air intake snorkels and find a way to route some cold air into them! Here's how I did it: http://www.jag-lovers.org/snaps/snap_view.php3?id=1177702011 You will also have to make sure that you have your MAT correction table well tuned. This can mess you around big time. Have a look ...

Re: 1984 Jaguar XJS V12 5.3L HE (11.5:1 CR)

Ross, I've been meaning to ask, did you have any issues with injector flyback currents causing noisy MAP signals or somesuch? Some guys had serious issues with LoZ injectors until eventually it was found that running the flyback currents back to the injector 12V supply by lifting the collector legs ...

Re: 1984 Jaguar XJS V12 5.3L HE (11.5:1 CR)

I was considering leaving the mechanical advance in place (since I just rebuilt the darn thing!) and just using the MS-II to emulate the vacuum advance. My recommendation is that you MUST leave the mechanical advance in place. Otherwise you may find the spark jumping to the wrong plug terminal much...
