Hello from the Costa del Fylde
Posted: Tue Mar 20, 2018 8:16 am
Morning all! My name is Mark and I'm on the Fylde Coast. I currently have a 1992 Volvo 245 in which I've just dropped an AJ26S from a 1999 Jaguar XJR with a 6 speed manual from a 2.7L diesel S Type.
When I say "dropped in" I mean that quite literally. It's in the car at the moment but I need to do a couple of mods before I can start to make the mounts for it.
The plan is to get TTV Racing to make a custom flywheel for it that retains the stock flex plate, and to use RusEFi to perform the engine management duties. The car is an April 1992 registration, so won't need cats for the MOT, which is great news.
I've also been talking to the engine's designer and he's given me some very interesting insights into the engine's development and the best ways to get more power out of it, in case 370bhp isn't enough in a 26 year old, 1300kg car
