Good work, nice to see you got things together. Would be interresting to hear more about your impressions with the setup so far, also some more details of the fuel and ignition install.

hello janm!I'm using a 36-1 motronic trigger wheel,multipoint injection and wastespark.its not 100% yet,works well on regular driving but misfires at full throttle,i suspect the coils and considering to try a distributor setup or maybe some other coil on tops.on the haltech software i have imported a toyota supra map to start with,and i think its not so far of..is your setup something similar?if you have some info to share on your setup it would be great!

From car reviews some years ago, I remember a couple of phrases, and your car has just brought them to mind again : "Brutal class" "Refined Aggression" That looks so damn cool. (Blimey! I just looked at where you are. I visited Lillestrom last year Hoping to blag a work trip to Oslo again soon.) |

Hello norwegian
My setup i based on the somewhat more low-budget Megasquirt MS2 ECU, using a single coil and distributor from the AJ6 engine. Injection is 2-channel batch or bank fire, not very refined but ok so far, will maybe upgrade to semi or full sequential later on. Trigger wheel is the original AJ16 60-1 with one more tooth removed to make it a more "generic" 60-2. Probably not necessary but seemed to be a good idea at that time. The trigger sensor, CLT, MAT and TP sensors are all the originals.
The map tuning I´ve made so far is, I´m afraid, not very professional, mostly a guesswork based on AFR and Ve-fuel tables that´s been generated by the software. The program also has an autotune function that works really well but, of course, much depending on how you set the AFR and spark tables, a quite tricky balance between safety, max power and disaster. I don´t know if your Haltec ECU has the capability to handle the knock sensors but if so things becomes a little easier. And you certainly need a Wideband O2.
I can, if you PM me your e-mail adress, send you a copy of the msq.file I´m currently using. You will need to download the Tunerstudio program to open it to see the tables and the configuration. The file is still very basic, lots of values like lag factors, battery correction and so on are still set to the default values but as long as the engine is running ok I have avoided messing too much with it.
Hope that the info will be to some help, I also welcome your opinion on the maps or other settings.
Regards /Jan M

thank very much jan for this info,
i also use the stock sensors from the motor and a wideband sensor in closed loop.have good afr values with the supra map.if you go to haltech.com and download the software you can look up the toyota supra twin turbo map I'm using.i will check up on the knocksensor bit I'm not sure about that.yesterday i installled the distributor setup and the misfiring is much better,but i think i also have a problem with the fuel line between the tank and pump.not enough flow.
i will pm you my email, not many who have done this conversioni think,so its god to have something to compare with!
regards,

Purely by coincidence I found this thread. I once owned a Double Six Coupe that was always breaking down, but the model is still one of my favourites!
After several V12 Jaguars of better quality, we now have a XJS with the 4.0 AJ16 engine. Always curious about the XJR with the 6 cylinder.
So, I decided to look into the possibility of having that supercharged motor in the gorgeous XJ-C body. And finding out that that is exactly what you are doing!
Thank you for sharing all this information.

Hi All,
I am doing the same thing but to a Series 2 XJ6 4 door saloon. I know these are not as popular but I brought the car in 1987 as my first jag and athough I have had others over the years, it sat in the garage waiting. I have been replacing all the rusty panels and those that I fitted badly years ago when I was learning about cars! I decided that due to the low value of the series 2 cars, there was no point in rebuilding the exisiting 4.2 NA engine and why not have a little fun and go for the XJR6 engine. Having driven around a 1995 4.0L XJS for the last 9 years and 90,000 miles I knew a bit about the XJS and AJ16 anyway. In Feb this year I brought a XJR6 (with LPG!) and completely dismantled it. I got rid of the shell and have the rest scattered around my garage! Having read a couple of threads on here around the problems with the electronics, I do have some doubts but being an electronics engineer in the past I hope to get away with it! I do plan to use the auto box and I do have all the matching cabling/ECU/modules etc
I can always go for the MegaSquirt option if not.
Rather than hijack this thread, I will start another with some pictures and ongoing status.
BTW I did a first fit of the engine today 30/11/2014 and even with some XJS engine mounts, the sump fouls the steering rack meaning the engine needs to sit maybe 2cm further backwards. I'll have to play with the different holes and mountings as everything I have read in various posts seem to state that they will fit.
Cheers
Dodgy
