Has anyone added a performance chip to their Jag, any Jag ? What model chip ? How did it work out ?

 

Ahh, what year of Jag do you have. Details and you wil see some replies.

 

thanks for the reply. Have a '97 xk8, conv., normally aspirated. Anyone have experience installing a performance chip and seeing any mileage or HP increase...with a Jag or any other vehicle ?

 

Enzo- There is no magic chip for your car. But there is lots you can do to make sure you are getting its full potential:

-Get an OBDII reader and make check that your throttle cable is reaching 100% throttle..adjust it if necessary. Also, if you have any fault codes, get the problems addressed.

-Make sure the downshift switch under throttle pedal is working and adjusted properly.

-Reset your ECU adaptations (Remove the neg. battery cable, turn on the ignition, touch the negative cable to the positive for a few seconds, turn off the ignition, reconnect the neg. battery cable.) Then begin to drive the car aggressively. It will learn that this is your preferred driving style.

-Make sure your air filter is clean.

-Clean your throttle body and part load breather orifice.

-Make sure your spark plugs are in good condition.

-Add a can of BG-44K to your next fill-up

 

Umm... the XK's don't need a performance chip. It's not a family sedan, economy car or commuter model. Push the sport mode button until it is lit up. If you want to drive around fast, you can get your gas mileage to about 12/13 mpg playing speed racer. The only thing holding back any performance is your foot...

 

Oooookay, I didn't realize that Jag made any turbodiesel XKs...
