tech advice on 4.2 supercharged v8 (AJ34S) engine
Hi Guys,
Just after some information on the 4.2l v8 supercharged jag engine (the AJ34S). Does this engine have variable valve timing, and if so is it fully variable or is it switched?
And also, does it have throttle by wire setup.
Thanks,
Rob

ok thanks.
Because we would be using this engine for a race car and would therefore need an aftermarket ECU to run it, and they want to know whether it is fully variable or switched valve timing, and they would also like to know where it adjusts to and where it adjusts from..
Like I said previously we have never had any experience of jaguar engines before, could you tell me where the tech guides are situated on the site??
Thanks

@jagV8.. Well we are looking to get the aj34s model, found in the s-type r (2003-2008) the xkr (2003-2010) or xjr (2004-2009). And so what do these flat spots/ wires represent?? Sorry for being dull!
And @rhankey, I have read on other sites that they don't have VVT as well, but thought I'd come on here because there are a lot more people who know a lot more than me

thanks for all the replies guys, much appreciated. Haven't actually bought an engine yet, which is why I was trying to establish what cars had what engine and whether it had VVT or not so we can focus on looking for that type of car. People have said we could pick up a new engine for around 2-2.5k but I'm not sure which version of engine that is and whether it has VVT or not. Will have to keep looking I guess. Does anyone have an email address/ contact number for the bridgend motor plant that actually make the engine? Whether anyone there would be able to shed light on the issue?
Cheers again,
rob
