ECU Tuning Group | Jaguar XJ/XJL Supercharged ECU Upgrade

![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
By reprogramming the ECU, not only were we able to increase power for the Jaguar 5.0 Supercharged engines, we were also able to remove the speed limiter, hesitation/flat spots, and raise the RPM all while improving fuel economy by 10-15%.
We can take the 470hp 424lbs tq XJ/XJL Supercharged and 510hp 461tq XJ/XJL Supersport to: 565hp & 525+lbs tq with just an ECU tune. By replacing the supercharger pulley, total gains of 590hp & 550+lbs tq can be obtained.
For owners who are not accessible to any of our dealers, you are in luck. We are offering a new package where you will be able to reprogram your vehicle through the OBD II port in the comfort of your own home. The process is simple, safe, and easy. Contact us directly for more information.
Please inquire about any Jaguar model.
Contact the sales department for any questions or concerns.
Please obey all traffic laws. ECU Tuning Group does no encourage speeding.

Hey there, thanks for the post, I'm sure the guys with the larger and more powerful engines that are always screaming about "more power" will be interested for sure.
Have you got any Jaguar customers that can speak of their experiences, maybe some dyno results?
They always get the juices flowing especially when in video form

By the OP description, this "tune" sounds to me it would lean the mixture to achieve those results.
My questions are (I am no expert), if you lean the mixture:
1 - Will this decrease spark plug life span?
2 - Will this cause the engine to operate in slightly higher temperature?
3 - Will the higher temperature damage the catalytic converters?
Having several OBDII muscle cars tuned in the past, I've been through all the good and bad, so I'm just wondering if it's actually worth it to mess with this kind of thing for a few more HP, on such classy car that, in my opinion, was developed by the engineers to operate the way it is.

In no way is the vehicle put in harm to achieve a few extra horsepower. To answer your question:
As we have stated earlier, beneficial features of reprogramming the ECU are not only increased power, but a decrease in fuel consumption as well. As a matter of fact, these vehicles are actually intended to perform and operate better than how they left the factory. Not only Jaguars, but other manufacturers de-tune their vehicles because of careless drivers, poor quality fuel, and neglected maintenance. We bring the vehicle to the factory's optimum performance, and then add more power.

1 - Will this decrease spark plug life span? No
2 - Will this cause the engine to operate in slightly higher temperature? No, vehicle will operate at it's normal temperature
3 - Will the higher temperature damage the catalytic converters? Does not apply

I guess my questions are:
1. Does this have to be done at your shop or is this something that the customer can install?
2. Does this void my precious 5 year warranty?
3. What is the difference between the two quotes below.
Jaguar Supercharged with pulley $1,395 Jaguar 2010- Supercharged with pulley $1,695

Depending on where you reside in Germany, turnaround time should be same day. What's your postal code? Also, the ECU reprogram is completely undetectable to factory diagnostics.
The difference between the two prices are:
$1,395 - pre 2010
$1,695 - 2010 to present

Prior to reprogramming your ECU, we update it with the latest data straight from the factory and we tune around that. So when you walk into your local service center, they already see that you have the latest software. As time goes by, and if by any chance your ECU gets flashed back to stock, we offer 2 free reflashes where on the third, there is a fee.

Also, can you purchase a new ECM for us, tune and allow us to buy a turn key install, so we have a stock ECM...just in case.
I find them online for around $1085, but would be better if it was sent to you and just done (prepaid of course).
