Just a quick update re chipping
I sold my ProBitz chiip and went for an invisible remap last year by Big Fish Tuning (after looking around).
Power/torque is noticeably better than with the chip (which could only be turned up so far without a Restricted Performance alarm on the dash and power cutting out until restarted).
The remap has no such alarms (once engine up to temp) and the gearbox has coped well with the huge increase in torque (presuming its the same gearbox in the XJR so shouldnt have any future problems).
Rolling Road figures show the power up to 241.6 BHP (221 Bhp with tuning box) and torque (which went down with the tuning box!) has risen from 435.21 Nm up to 516.57 Nm!!!
At Santa Pod in June a number of Jaguars raced down the 1/4 mile and the ONLY cars to beat mine were the X308 XJR and two X350 XJR (the X308 was the fastest).I got within .53 sec against an X350 XJR to 1/4 mile and my car was faster than a std S Type 2.7d, two 4.0 V8 S Types,the 3.0 XJ.
A number of us are going back down on Sept 17th so anyone who would like to go are invited to Santa Pod II on Sept 17th.
Book via their website http://www.rwyb.co.uk/
Here are the results from June
Jerry................X308 XJR.........101.95 mph........ET 13.67 seconds
Davey..............X350 XJR (Paramount Performance)..no times given but was between the X308 XJR and X350 XJR
Djdex..............X350 XJR..........100.3mph..........ET 14.25 seconds
Mark Rogers......XJ TDVi LWB.....90.51 mph........ET 15.73 seconds
Anthony..4.0.....V8 S Type.........89.42 mph.........ET 15.89 seconds
Smilerson.........S Type 4.0 V8....87.53 mph........ET 15.93 seconds
Dan.................2.7 TD S Type.....86.20 mph........ET 16.53 seconds
Marie_Noelle......XJ 3.0.................82.57 mph........ET 17.08 seconds (manual gear changes)

It would be very interesting to see how Mike Kennedys remapped 4.0 V8 compares :twisted:
I'll start an invite thread.

After Paramount Performance remap, fitment of 6omm resonatorless Miltek exhaust and K&N filter,
indicated increase in BHP went from 228bhp at the flywheel to 269bhp with my 4litre V8.

I was warned that I should not expect to see the 271bhp that Jaguar say a stock 4 litre V8 would produce. Paramount said they would expect the car in stock form to produce 225bhp or thereabouts. My extra 3bhp was probably down to the fact that the K&N had previously been fitted.

Jaguars are apparently the oddball when it comes to indicated and published power outputs. With a BMW or Merc, they apparently do the figures the manufactures indicate. Ths anomaly is probably down to manufacturers using differing standards when publishing their figures.

I susiquently noticed a small increase inpower output whilst on super unleaded. MPG also improved by a couple of miles per gallon.

Good to see the V8 responds better han the V6 petrol (like one I had).
How did the torque increase with the upgrades go Mike?
As I understand it BHP maintains speed once moving but its the torque that gets the car off the line which could proove all important in the 1/4 mile dash.
Given your cars extra BHP but also extra weight and presumably far less torque than the X350 TDVi it would be interesting to see how it performs on the 1/4 mile with the claimed increase in power so hope you're up for joining us to see how it does?
Also there were no 4.2 N/A cars there, nor any XJS cars so get yourselves along too
Its a great day,great comraderie,lots of fun and you get to find out if any mods youve made have been worth it after all.
Remember ALL welcome
Heres a vid of mine up against the fastest car of the day (Jerry is colourblind in his X308 XJR so didnt go until I did which is why I lead for the first few metres)
cick for video

Back on the forum! As an update to my original post, I did eventually get a remap with protune; http://www.protuning.co.uk/faq.php.
It definitely improved mid range pull, and I think economy is up by 1-2mpg, Unfortunately once you get used to the change you forget what it was like before. The good news was that my insurance company only wanted an extra £30 on the premium...

Hi Guys.
Had my 2.7D done by one of Elite Remaps agents about a month ago and its made a big difference . If you drive the car normally it seems to do a bit more to the gallon but when you put your foot down there is a big difference ie more power the guy said it will gain about 40 more HP and its smoother with no turbo lag.
Im going down to Cornwall next week so I will get a better idea on fuel consumption It usually does 42 mpg between 70/80 mpg.

Jeff.
