Janspeed Conversions - Info

[xjrtwinturbo]

Hello!

As you guys might know, I own a janspeed twin turbo jaguar xj40, I have a couple of friends who also own janspeed twin turbos.

I have been doing a bit of research on the janspeed conversions and have decided to set up a website (www.janspeed-conversions.co.uk) and post as much info, photos, sales brochures and magazine articles as I can.

I'm just wondering if any of you guys might happen to own a janspeed, no someone who does or even have info, photos, sales brochures etc.

If you do, could you email me at [e-mail]

Cheers

The "Performance Conversions" website is by bible for 60's tuners.

Head for the tuners archive and there's a section on Janspeed

I think it still exists in some form or another, it was featured in the Dolomite owners club mag a while ago.

Nice idea, there is a dearth of info on these conversions.

I've got a Janspeeed single turbo Range Rover 1990, had it 3 months now, I bought it for the winter.

I'll email you.

Thread revival! (thanks google)

I've just bought this.

1979 Datsun 280ZX widebody with japspeed turbo. I actually emailed the OP before posting this but felt compelled to post on my favourite forum

Had two janspeed four branch manifolds on my two Suzuki jeeps and a few janspeed sport back boxes years ago.
Tuning firms dedicated to research and development that showed results / bring back the good old days.

Loving this thread 'boost'...!!!

Janspeed has a fascinating history that really does need documenting for the future! It seems that they'd turn their hand to many a motor during the 1970's and the motoring press had nothing but praise...

I had a janspeed xj40 many moons ago and couldnt find any info on it back then either.

It was a white one with grey leather and supercharged wheels which I sold on ebay to a jaguar specialist in Paris. I'll have to try and dig out the registration number to see if it made it back home

Was a Janspeed turbo set up for the MGB for sale in Norway a while back
