This is my Jag V12 engine just after having Megasquirt installed.

This is the 1st ever drive (out of the garage) of my kitcar. Powered by a twin turbo Jag 5.3l V12. Although the turbos aren't yet connected its still sounds awesome. The exhaust is blowing a bit and the Megasquirt ECU needs some tweaking. The car will one day have a Zonda (like) body, and the exhaust is from a Ferrari Mondial.

As pointed out before the timing was way out (7 degrees) on the V12, so this has now been set correctlyt also various other settings have been changed.

This is the picture story of my kitcar to date. In Feb 2008 I bought a low mileage 5.3l Jag V12 and decided to make a car around it. I decided to make a full size replica Zonda C12 Spyder. The only constraints were to make the mid-engined £500k supercar for just a few pounds. I year in and I'm almost there. The engine has twin Garrett T28 turbos, intercoolers Nissan 300 ZX and ignition/injection is supplied by a Megasquirt MS1 V3 from DIY Autotune - even that was scratch built! The car is based on a Ford Scorpio Ultima 2.9V6.
