I'm not an expert on the jag ones, they are vvt and I know where you can get brand new complete engine for 1200 plus vat if that's a route you want.... But regarding cams, mapping etc you would be on your own as we all use the st220 engine and it makes silly power and revs to death so little point upgrading to the jag.
We also run ecu variable boost which the mbe also has, so your power curve is easily tailored to your application.

As my engine is traverse the skyline gearbox won't fit, I use a modified st220 one that I bought for 250 from eBay and had a quite and oil cooling added along with few other minor mods.

I have an AJ30 in in my Stylus and I love it!


Sorry I do not know what it weighs but the answer is not a lot. I was really impressed at how light it was also the Getrag box is pretty light as well.

I am really interested in this method of increasing the capacity to 3.5 using 2.5 parts, can anyone confirm which bits are necessary. 2.5 crankshaft but which con rods?

not sure I thought the jaguar used the mondeo 2.5 crank if the 3.0 one is different then that where it comes from. I would think andygt could possibly have the answer.

OLI192 what gearbox have you used in the sylva

I used the S-type gearbox. It is shorter than the Type-9 that came out but it is a little wider so it is VERY tight against the frame now.

With only 7 bhp more than standard and almost 900kg less to resist it the gearbox is not straining. The real compromise is that I am still using the Jag dual mass flywheel until I can find an alternative solution.

I am using a K6 Emerald so that is an option that does work.

Aluminum flywheels are on Ebay all the time

Fidanza # 186251

Same flywheel used on the Noble

I will be using a MegaSquirt MS2 on mine.

Hi - thread resurrection

What clutch do you use with the Fidanza? and Getrag 221 (S Type manual 5 speed)

I'm looking at ecu options on this standard engine with only inlet KnN and exhaust - no cats mods.

What Throttle body are you using with cable (Modeo ST220?) or I can convert mine to fly by wire as I have a complete Jag car at the mo

I don’t know of any of the shelf jag s type single mass flywheels. Those that fit the the x type or Mondeo have a differant ring gear patern to the s type.

The only of the shelf combo is the s type dual masses setup.

There is a guy that has machined a single mass Mondeo flywheel to take the jag ring gear.

Mine is a little more complicated as it’s an rx8 gearbox so I can’t even use the jag flywheel as the clutch won’t work. Leaving me with the above as an only option, or .... I could make a bracket for the Mondeo starter but it mounts to the gearbox and also needs to go into the transmission tunnel.

I’ve worked back the St220 ecu so that should run it nicely for the princely sum of £25. But it won’t switch the Jags vvt.

TTV do a lightened flywheel for a 71/4 clutch for the jag
They may even do a standard bolt pattern or they will do whatever you wish.
Ecu canems is a great option

Thanks for that.
Last time I looked it was only the x type / Mondeo and I bought one of them as I was going to mid mount it.
I bet that's a £1200 package and it still won't work with the rx8 box with out a new plate.

I must stop buying ttv flywheels for projects and not using them.

Glad to hear I am not the only one
Flywheel was around £250
I destroyed an automatic gearbox chopped the bellhousing of machined it down and and welded two ends of a bellhousing together so I could fit a T5 tvr tuscan box

Hi Big Wasa, so you have the pin outs etc to get the st220 ecu running in a kit car for example?
Thanks

Yep, just need to do some testing before I post them up.

Hi
can you show / tell mewhat youhave done regarding the oil filter. I'm looking to fit a remote filter and oilcooler but they seem to need either 3/4bsp or M20 blockconnection but the Jag is M22.

I machined up an adaptor sleeve/tube, half is threaded M22 for in the engine and the other half is 3/4 unf (common thread for Mocal take offs and filters), the take off plate just screws on as normal then. I can post a picture tomorrow if needed, but it's fairly simple really.

I've cut the original S type filter extension/housing down and welded AN10 fittings onto the housing where the exposed holes exit

My welding skills aren't up to that. I tapped the hole and used fittings

I've been wondering how the aj30 differs to the Duratec 30 ?
It's got a big filter on a big and rusty modine oil warmer.

So the thread is M22 ?

Unlike the st170 / Rs the sleeve is one piece not two so I can't just bin the modine and leave the filter even if there was room for engine mounts which I doubt. I can't just add two hydraulic fittings either as the block is machined for a filter and the casting is very thin.

Something else to ponder

Duratec 30 has a water to oil cooler with a filter that's inline with the block exit (so would be were the AJ30 engine mount is).

Im running a dry sump system on my AJ30.

Yep! The AJ30 uses the Duratec filter fixing to fit the engine mount
