Project 300HP NA/NA
2 Attachment(s)
So a friend a few months ago brought up the idea of using a V6 AJ30 out of a Lincoln LS or a Jag. About a month ago I found a 2000 Jaguar S-type in the junkyard with 100,800 miles. After removing the valve cover, there must have been a old lady driving this one due to the amount of dried sludge in the engine. So far I'm starting to break down the engine for a short block factory rebuild. The upper end will have race heads and cams from Cat Cams. The factory weight is same if not lighter than the factory engine.

what's the draw to this engine? anything particularly better than...say the K sway that's been posted about recently?
|
I've seen 418 hp and 269 ft-lbs NA with a 9K Rev limit. This engine is used in dozens of different RC's.
|
AJ30 V6 dune buggy
Noble M400 1050hp the engine comes out of a Mazda6 Here is the audio of a 350-380hp Naturally Aspirated version in a Juno SS |
whats the plan for the rest of the drivetrain?
|
Stock 5-speed and 1.6L open rear end (need to stay STS legal).
|
I will be running a 1.8 diff and a T5 trans
So Far the Pro's Light weight Engine is designed by Porsche Short Block internals done by Cosworth The engine comes in Mazda6, Lincoln LS, Jag X and S-type and numerous other cars. Negative's Front sump Tall intake Manifold Lack of after market Factory manual trans is weak Ford design heads, do not flow |
Does/Didn't Noble use those in their cars? 400-600 HP with really nice manners from twin setups. Kinda cool. Does the T5 bolt right up with a stock and/or common bellhousing?

Wow. I see a lot of work in that Head...
|
I'm vomiting and I can't stop.
Please send help. |
The double post (deleted) made it even worse...
|
Nice to see they were on top of oil changes. :eek:
|
ewwwwwwwwwwwwww
|
:barf:
|
those look like variable valve timing intake cams.
in which case good luck cleaning out the mechanisms and oil control valves this engine is screaming for like a week in the hot tank lol |
Throw that one back and try again.
THis is the 3.0 liter version of the 2.5 v6 from the mazda6 (which shares no relation to the KLDE) right? A local built up the 3.0 liter version with a bunch of nobel parts and made some decent N/A power on an engine built for boost through some cracked up shitty ebay headers. I kind of cant wait till he gets money again because IIRC theres a PTE 6262 sitting at his house waiting on hotside parts to go in. |
Take it back to the yard, that thing is junk
|
Lulz, you couldn't pay me to run that engine. Try again.
