1999 JAGUAR S TYPE torque

IntroductionAJ-V6/AJ28
3 The new S-TYPE sports sedan has an in-line powertrain and rear wheel drive configuration and is
available with either a 3 Litre V6 or a 4 Litre V8 engine, both normally aspirated. The V6 engine,
designated AJ-V6 is new to the Jaguar range and provides expected Jaguar levels of performance with
smooth power delivery, economy and excellent torque characteristics across the engine speed/load
range. The engine is of a lightweight but rigid design with particular attention paid to minimising noise
and vibration. A major innovation is the use of a variable geometry air intake manifold, which is
controlled, via valves, by the engine management system and produces optimised volumetric efficiency
at all engine speeds. Two stage variable valve timing is also fitted and both systems are optimised
together to achieve the wide torque delivery at all engine speeds.
The V8 engine, designated AJ28, is a developement of the now established engine fitted to the
successfull XK Series sports and XJ Series sedan and incorporates the latest modifications fitted to the
AJ27 variant, in particular the continuously variable valve timing system and air assisted fuel injection.
Both the V6 and V8 engines are fitted with a new, common, electronic throttle which does not require a
mechanical cable. Another new feature, also common to both engines, is the use of a returnless fuel
system to reduce the formation of fuel vapour (evaporative emissions).
A new 5-speed automatic transmission is fitted (with slight differences) to both engines. In certain
markets only, an optional 5-speed manual transmission, with new self-adjusting clutch, is available for
the V6 engine only.
Both engines and the automatic transmission are controlled by a completely new powertrain control
system.

Variable Valve Timing (VVT)
A VVT system is used to allow the phasing of the
inlet valve opening to be changed relative to the
fixed timing of the exhaust valves. Two positions
are used, 30û apart, with the advanced position
occurring at 30û BTDC and overlapping with the
exhaust opening. The system is similar to that
previously used on the AJ26 V8 engine but uses
different components and a different oil feed
arrangement.
The operating regime is controlled by the engine
management system in conjunction with the
variable geometry induction system so as to
optimise torque characteristics over the engine
speed/load range. The engine torque curve with
VVT operating points is shown in the section on
the Variable Intake System. The VVT system also
provides increased amounts of ÔinternalÕ EGR
under certain speed/load operating conditions.
VVT Oil Feed
The VVT/sprocket unit is fixed on the nose of the
inlet camshaft via a locating pin and hollow bolt
and is driven directly by the timing chain. Unlike
the VVT systems on the V8 engines, the oil feed

Air Induction System
range, the manifold geometry can be set to three
different configurations, each of which maximises
the tuning effect over different parts of the range.
This variable geometry is achieved by the use of
two gate valves, the intake manifold tuning (IMT)
valves, which are controlled by the engine
management system.Air Intake
The air induction system consists of the intake
ducting and air cleaner, the throttle body, tuned
manifold assembly and lower manifold (see Fuel
System).
The air cleaner connects to the throttle body via a
lateral mounted intake pipe with resonator box. A
separate duct, housing the MAF sensor, fits
between the air cleaner and resonator pipe. The
IAT sensor is located in the intake resonator pipe.
Variable Intake System
(see illustration on page 23)
The induction manifold is specially designed to
optimise torque across the engine speed/load
range. The air charge enters the induction
manifold from the throttle body and passes
through a plenum chamber for distribution to the
cylinders via the manifold runners. The function
of the plenum chamber is to provide a resonance
(or maximising) effect such that large pulses of
charge air are produced which will arrive at the
inlet ports at the correct time for induction into
the cylinders. This ram charging action is only
effective over a restricted speed/load range for a
particular plenum chamber volume and geometry.
To extend the effect over the whole engine speed

System Performance
The valve open/close combinations across the
engine speed range have been selected in
conjunction with the VVT system to provide an
optimised torque curve. Referring to the graph, it
can be seen that there are five states that the IMT
valves and VVT can adopt throughout the engine
speed range.

original AJ26 unit. A number of features are unique to the AJ28 or are shared with the AJ-V6 engine also
described in this publication.
Features of the AJ28 engine are:
¥ Continuously variable inlet valve timing over a 48û

Construction and Operation
The transmission housing consists of a one piece
die cast aluminium case with re-inforcement ribs
to minimise noise, vibration, and harshness
(NVH). To allow for the different physical size of
the engines, there are two transmission variants
with different overall lengths and bell housings to
match the respective engines, the V8 variant being
shorter. Different torque converters are necessary
and the V8 variant is also fitted with an adaptorplate to mate the torque converter to the larger
diameter drive plate on the V8 engine.
The main features of the transmission unit are :
¥ torque converter with a twin friction face
lock-up clutch and torsional damper
¥ geartrain consisting of three epicyclic gearsets
¥ shift elements consisting of multi-plate
clutches, brakes and one way clutches
¥ control actuators: four shift solenoids, three
variable force solenoids and a PWM 5R55N AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
