AJ6 3.6L Twin Turbo
*BACKSTORY* So i just got an XJS inherited and the engine has been sitting for the last 15-20 years.
However this is gonna be a one-off custom build but i never do thing halfway.
So the end goal is gonna be an 3.6L I6 AJ6 engine from 1987 with a twinturbo setup making around 500 Engine HP.
After doing some research it seems that there are no off-the-shelf forged internals for the AJ6 or AJ16 so after having some talk with Wiseco,JE,CP and AutoVerdi it seems i might have the option to have them custom fabricate the pistons and rods for me. *CRAZY EXPENSIVE*
The recipe will be the following
*3.6L Stock Crankshaft
*Forged Pistons
*Forged Conrod
*Cometic or Athena Headgasket
*ARP Bolts
*Custom made Xtreme clutch Twindisc Clutch kit
*2x Garret GTX2860 Turbos
*Custom made Exhaust manifolds
*Custom made Intake Plenum
*Haltech Standalone ECU
*E85
I hope you will be along for the ride.
AutoVerdi had about 5 months before they have the time to manufacture the rods and i'm still in talks with suppliers for Pistons.

Streetnation,
I don't know if there would be any value to you, but perhaps you might want to contact Jaguar Heritage to understand if they can provide you with any info on the 3.6 twin-turbo that they originally built back in the 80s?

There's a forum member who turbo'd a later version of the engine, 4.0 AJ16, might be of some help:
