Default XJR - Improvement of Throttle Body Elbow & Intake

Hi everyone

With a lot of excitement I read about the Kenne Bell Upgrades... what I also read quite often is about the bottle neck of the intake elbow.

My guess, is that the AJ-V8 was developed as compact as possible to fit a variety of different models.
Fact: the XJR has a lot more space than the XKR under de bonnet. Has anybody tried to benefit from this?

On first glance it seems beneficial to delete the elbow with a straight part, to which the auxiliaries flange to.


I have attached some pictures to illustrate.




Comparison of XJR and XKR engine bay

More generous routing of intake

You would need to replum some items and to what benefit? If you haven't been in the Marketplace, here's a kit from Avos he was selling years ago with the KB that's for sale....https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/market/258970 ...shipping would be a cumbersome amount I bet from Europe.
