2nd Drive in Twin Turbo V12 5.3l Kit car

[boostedraptor]

Thats what Im talkin bout! v12 twin turbo to get back and forth on the driveway baby!

[outbackautomotive]

Just looking at the flex in the mid section of the chassis, looks like you may need to beef it up a bit. If you have not seen my heavily modded Fiero with the SHO in it, check it out!

[dakinepakalol0]

what kind of transaxle are you using? i want to build something midengine with the jag v12 idk what kind of tranny to go with though.

[16vmini]

any updates on this ? any web links to see progress ?

[dommp5]

[Nicktruman]

@dommp5

[Tboom123]

[gcmc2]

Stupid punk kid who wouldn't know crap. How stupid to even comment when you the engine hasn't even been settled and tuned. Big mouthed moron.

@gcmc2

big mouthed moron, stupid punk kid........ good work bozo(very mature)...... i know enough to stand by my original comment!!!!

see... my comments where not posted to you, they where posted for this video!! but there you are butting your big mouth in where its not needed!! now im replying to you on the same manner you are to me and your having a CRY!!(very mature)... since you know alot about engines, can you say that this sounds crisp and sharp???? WHERE DOES IT SAY NEEDS TUNING????

[gcmc2]

The car's just in build process you fool. He hasn't done the engine setup yet. How many ways can I say it ?

[RAJSTA81]

@gcmc2

amazing that you know that! considering that the engine is complete and running!

your seriously going overboard with this!! its an uploaded VIDEO FOOL!!!

i am commenting on the video on how its uploaded !!!

get over it!!

[RAJSTA81]

sounds gutless, too much lag

[discocreator76]

whatever!...

[RAJSTA81]

@discocreator76

great reply

[MrPAUL323]

Good job man, good luck with your project. hope to see more soon!!!

Those intercoolers aren't going to do much on an engine that size..

[branboom]

what are you useing for an ECU?

[Nicktruman]

I'm using a Megasquirt Ms1 V3 with 5 additional coil drivers and an external board for fans, idle valves etc.. The injextors are running inline resistors to convert to high impedance 196 ml/min - previously i was running 400 ml/min and drank too much fuel and having 12 low impedance injectors put the ECU under a huge power load and risked burning it out.. I have now also added a Tech Edge wideband lambda sensor and controller. it now runs as sweet as a nut.

[silver760]

The engine itself sounds rather loose/tired,how many miles was on the unit?

[vfIskullangel]

I wish I had that as a project. :)

[RobbyRaiAshtray1122]

i know ur focused on doing a zonda replica but if i were in ur shoes id probably end up dropping that plan and doing either a Jaguar XJ220, a XJR-9LM, or maybe a XJ13 conversion since its ran using a jaguar motor... but eitherway i like the project no matter the outcome... job job

[wilsonnw]

what sort of body?

[Nicktruman]

I'm making the body just now, glass and carbon fibre. The idea is that it should oneday resemble a Zonda C12 roadster

[immigranter]

man if I had a kit like that I'd just put lights on and hit the road! I love it!

[LashoutUK]

Haha, that's mental! (in a great way!)

[Nicktruman]

Excellent glad yo like it ;-)

[Nza420]

what transaxle are you using, mate?? This looks like a sweet project!!

[Nicktruman]

The fuel tables are not set up yet! The headers are wrapped in red insulating tape, but they do get V hot..

[t16rally]

a bit more fuel, and MORE advanced ignition. then youll get rid of the glowing headers.
