Going ahead with the MaxxECU Pro-race and latest generation smart TCU from HTG! Parts being ordered now and will update once the install begins in approx 2 weeks! Set up will have a keypad control for gear mode selection Park, Reverse, Neutral, Manual, Launch control etc. and a quick shifter for sequential gear changes...........will keep you posted.

 

Please do! I am getting ready to do the same this week but I am going to go with the OFGear TCU since I have the Mercedes 722.6 in my car. We will keep the PVE guys busy with Jag orders!

 

Any updates on these builds?

 

nothing to report here, I talked to PVE back in April and was told they are not ready to sell the kit and were hoping to have it ready later this year as the work was currently being done for the Swallows guys. I reached out to Swallows but did not get a reply. This was going to be my winter project but I don't see that happening. I thought about going with a different ECU system but with all the work Steve at PVE put into making the Maxxecu work so well with the Jag CAN I would rather just wait. The plan is still to use the OFGear system for the trans unless PVE reverse engineers the TCU as well. Honestly I think the OFGear would be a better option so I can control the shift characteristics and even install a paddle shift set up just for fun.

Thankfully I have plenty of other projects on the car to take up my time until PVE is ready.

I think Paddy mentioned possibly going another route, hoping his progress is further than mine.

 

Any more news on this please guys?

 

Still waiting, last I checked with PVE they were saying early this year but no updates and I have not checked since December. Just starting another project (inter chiller) so that will keep me busy for a few weeks then I may try again with PVE.

 

Hello everyone!)

Just found this thread and am very curious if there is any progress with ECU/TCU on 4.0 XKR?

This Denso etc is soooo slow... I spent 6 years trying to find anyone who can remap it, or replace ECU/TCU without loosing ABS and Traction - all in vain.. 😁😁😁

My car is heavily modified except electronics. I was also thinking to install 2006 bodykit and 2006 Maserati Quattroporte rear boxes that sounds extremely amazing and shall add Italian notes to Jag's engine sound; I've tried to fit it in a garage and it's just CRAZY!!! The only thing is that all rear compartment should be rewelded, and that is a lot of efforts. With modern ECU/TCU all those further upgrades would make more sense))
