Any recommendations on induction and exhaust upgrades for 3.6 XJS?
Blake Dodson - 11 Aug 2005 04:25 GMT
Unless you undertake major cylinderhead work and install high lift ,
long duration camshafts, there is no benefit in replacing the factory
setup. (Its that good.) Oh, and there is no benefit in adding more fuel
either. (Chip)

That said, yes there are improvements you can make for better power.

-Replacement of the second set of silencers with eliminator pipe.
-Adding extra length to the intake runners. (Cut open and install
velocity stacks, reweld.)
-Machine the mass sensor 2mm larger.
-Remove air box trumpet and install velocity stack.
-Buy a "Green" brand air filter element.

All that will make it more aggressive but not a beast.

Cheers,

Replacing the second set of silencers - I've done it on my 3.6 and it
now sounds cr*p - louder & like someone spitting down a pipe. No
discernable increase in power, although I'm sure there was if you
measured it carefully enough. As soon as I can I'm putting original
silencers back.

Thanks for the advice, will leave them at present.  Going for a green
filter and cropping the neck right back to open up the amount of air
available.  Will probably use an old induction kits rubber hose to
direct a little more air.  Will post a pic when I finish it.  Just got
this clutch fault to fix now!

Thanks again,

Gary
