CEgg11 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 If anyone knows where I can find a pair of HS8 SU's, I'd be grateful. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z240 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) These are the 2" so called Jag SU's, correct? I have a set. Somewhere. Send me a note to z240@shaw.ca and I'll send you back some pictures. Edited April 30, 2015 by z240 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malibud Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 just curious are they that much better . You are talking about the skinners union carbs from an e type ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvdmynhnz Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Although I haven't installed them yet, I do have a set of early '90s New Zealand spec 2.8 liter Jaguar XJS HS8 carbs mounted on a bored out 260Z manifold. Still playing with the manual choke linkage & it will all have to wait until I complete a fresh stroker build with the diesel crank. I truly don't know how they're going to work but tuning should be simple. Burlen evidently purchased the rights to make each and every part for all SUs (http://sucarb.co.uk/?SID=r3qtcioo9ipslka8mii5j45r52&___store=su) . I'm going to use a broad band O2 sensor-air/fuel gauge to take out some of the tuning guess work. There's a ton of information out there regarding needle selections. I suspect there will be a fair amount of trial & error until I get it dialed in. By the way, they look fantastic...in a sleeper kind of way.

morbias Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 This might be helpful for figuring out which needles you should go with: http://www.mintylamb.co.uk/suneedle/ KL, BAR and BDL needles are good starting points for L24-28 engines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 At least you don't need a spotter to sit on a crate head poked out the remover rear window to read dome position/needle stations whilst driving to get needle taper cut points...
